Food first, thoughts after... Let me just say the service…read morewas amazing. Our waitress was a cultured young woman who did an amazing job checking in on us and guiding us. We chose the restaurant because we were staying at the hotel. I would say dishes wise they are more on the sweet size. The potato crips had jam around them. The lamb had a sweet glaze on top. I am more of a savory person. Overall still a good dinner and night.

We came to the Ross Bridge restaurant as a group of 10 girls for my friend's bachelorette spa day,…read moreexpecting a fun and relaxing brunch before our massages. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've had. I called several days ahead to ask about reserving a table and was told brunch was first come, first serve only. To make sure we could sit together, two of us arrived at 9:30 AM for our 10:00 brunch plans. We were initially told we could either sit outside split between two tables or wait about 20 minutes for a table inside together. We agreed to wait. After waiting 40 minutes, they attempted to seat us... split between two tables inside anyway. At that point, what was the purpose of waiting nearly an hour? We declined and chose to wait longer so our group could actually sit together. During all of this, several staff members acted as though our group was a huge inconvenience. There was rude behavior, dismissive attitudes, obvious staring, and even employees giving fake names when asked. Instead of feeling welcomed, we felt like we were bothering them simply by being there. We finally got seated around 10:45. Our waitress was polite, but service was painfully slow. Right after ordering, I explained that we had massages beginning at noon and asked if she could prepare our checks early so we could leave on time. There was no sense of urgency about this, everything was still extremely slow and took way longer than expected. It took 30 minutes just for us to receive a mimosa, and then another 40-45 for food. Mind you we still have appointments at the spa which the staff were aware of. Around 1130, right after we got the food, I reminded her again that we urgently needed our checks to make our appointments. She assured us they'd be out within 15 minutes, but we didn't end up signing checks until almost 11:50. We then had to rush across the resort stressed and late for what was supposed to be a relaxing spa experience. What should have been a low-stress, celebratory brunch before my friend's wedding became chaotic and disappointing. The food was fine but overall terrible experience. Between the disorganization, poor communication, rude staff, and extremely slow service, this experience completely missed the mark. I would not return to this restaurant and would strongly recommend eating elsewhere before coming to the resort.

I'll often pick up a pie to take home but when I'm dining in, I get something special and every time I do, it's delicious. Timing tip: don't wait too late in the evening to go there! Their building has tenants above them so they have to close at 9:00 PM

Finally made it to the Front Porch. We heard fabulous things about this place, so thought we would…read morecheck it out. Had an enjoyable dinner on the patio. It was nice and not too loud. Our waiter was great and had lots of suggestions. We ended up with the blackened chicken pasta and pimento cheeseburger. The burger was cooked to perfection and tasty. The bun itself was a little thinner than what I am used to but still good. The pimento cheese was not my favorite, as it seemed to lack something. The sweet potato fries with caramel sauce were delicious and great accompaniment to any burger. The pasta was just your average dish. They did have a nice cocktail menu... Ended up with a blueberry lemon drop martini and absolutely delicious. Will we be back? Yes... There are some other things we would like to try.

I definitely would like to go back and give the pancakes a try, I saw them after I had placed my order and it was too late but overall good experience and would recommend.

I love the to go option available for your beverage. The atmosphere is more relaxed in the clubhouse restaurant and casual. Great for groups. We decided to grab some food from here - post spa appts. In my group of 6 we ordered a couple of things. Burgers , quesadillas, wings, nachos etc. I had steak nachos and I did not love them. There was probably 100 chips and 3 piece of steak! I also forgot to say no sour cream.... I was disappointed in myself. I think overall , everyone else was pretty satisfied with their food. Our service was decent. This was my first time dining here. I wouldn't order the nachos again but I would come here again for drinks.

All of the food here is good, but especially the fresh squeezed orange juice, the bacon, the biscuits, and the jellies, jams, and sauces. You can't go wrong with anything at this place. It is just consistent and trustworthy every single time I go there. The last three times I have been to this location, the service and the staff, from the hostess to the bartender to the server at my table to the manager coming by to check on us, were all incredible. Pro tip...I can't remember the name of it, but that homemade jalapeño hot sauce is divine. It goes good on almost anything savory, especially egg dishes and biscuits. I'm sure I will be back soon!

We were traveling and stopped in for breakfast…read more We were seated immediately and brought drinks quickly. We had to flag down and ask our server if we could order because she was busy talking. Our server climbed into the booth and sat down to take our order. I doubt she thought anything about it but we were on our way to an oncologist so we try to stay away from close contact with people. The food was amazing! The biscuits were salty which added a lot of flavor to the overall meal. I think they were excellent. It was like a plate of comfort food. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend the food to anyone.

It's like they timed it just perfectly to open one for me. The bathrooms are so clean as well! And they keep this place so tidy overall! The patio on this specific location overlooks the traffic and they have made it so peaceful. This is a spot I can frequent!

Farrelleys for my birthday dinner!!…read more We've been here several times and have never been disappointed! They have an amazing happy hour from 4-6. I got a marg ($8) and the baked pimento cheese dip to start - served with pita. ($7) I loved my pan seared scallops with grits and broccolini. The cranberry bacon "jam" really adds so much flavor and create the perfect bite when you add all components together. ($34) Dad and David got the meatloaf and loved. It comes with house made BBQ, potatoes and broccolini. ($28) Perfect for when you want to go to an upscale meal but still have to make your man happy - this is literally a "meat and potatoes" dish. Mom got the Paneed chicken with brown butter sauce, mashed potatoes and spinach. She had no complaints! ($28) Service was very friendly and parking was no issue at all! This is a perfect place for a big group because there's something for everyone. It's casual, comfortable but still feels on the upscale side of things. We will be back!

One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish. We finished with an espresso Martini and some great Calamari. This has become our new FAVORITE. Must try!!!

Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there.
