We also took some desserts home, we will make the hour + drive back to try some more. The cabin embiance doesn't make sense with the food but it was great.

The "power Hour" old fashioned was delicious as was the Tom Collins. It was comfortable yet somewhat loud at the bar seating. I got the sanctuary steak with the boom shrimp on top. The shrimp was delicious. The steak seemed somewhat unseasoned under the boat sauce and it was kind of chewy. My wife got a hamburger and fries. Again somewhat under seasoned. Took carrot cake home and it was to die for.

The waitress was very kind and did a great job throughout our time there! We got a 1/2 lb. of the pulled chicken, a 1/2 lb. of the beef brisket, 1/2 a rack of the baby back ribs, & a side of curly fries. The ribs were absolutely delicious--fall off the bone and very juicy! Definitely my favorite out of the meats we ordered! The chicken and brisket were a bit dry for my liking, but their yummy bbq sauce really helped with that. I was a little disappointed that nothing had a smokey flavor, and I honestly just assumed the food would have been smoked by the name of the restaurant but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Not a big deal though, I shouldn't have assumed! All else aside, they've got pretty good food and I would definitely recommend the ribs!!!

Shakespeare's is a casual restaurant and pub that is located inside a *CASTLE* at the Olde…read moreStonewall Golf Club. Depending on the season and day of week, Shakespeare's offers brunch, lunch, and dinner. My husband and I ate one dinner here. We felt impressed by the 600 million pounds of boulders outside and the fun medieval-like architecture and interior design of the building (e.g., large doors, vaulted ceiling, oak panels, Spanish swords and shields, and tapestries). The seating hostess and the waitress served us promptly and politely. The dinner menu listed appetizers (e.g., poutine, pretzels, and wings), salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, chicken, steaks, veal, salmon, tuna, cod, crab cakes, pastas, vegetable sides, and some desserts. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Pierogi Flatbread - 4 stars - This flatbread had a wonderful crust, and it was topped with mashed potatoes, onions, and cheddar cheese. French-onion Soup Crock - 5 stars - My husband ate this soup. It had a nicely rich broth and onions and gooey cheese on top. Stuffed Shrimp - 3 stars - I ate this entree from the "moat," and I thought that it tasted just OK. Five large shrimp were stuffed with crab meat and lay on top of polenta. My side was a very fresh house salad. Queen's Prime Rib - 5 stars - My husband ate this entree from the "stockyard." A 10-ounce prime rib was cooked perfectly. My husband described it as "very tender" and "very good." He chose a buttery baked potato for his side. Apple Tart - 5 stars - We shared this dessert of a warm apple tart topped with vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed its sweet flavors. The total price for these five foods plus one soda was $95 *plus* tax, credit-card fee, and tip. My husband enjoyed this meal so much that he recommended that we return sometime to eat brunch.
