Let me just say, the food here during our visit was outstanding. Give flowers to the chef and team…read moreworking behind the line! Every meal we had we were impressed with how well seasoned everything was!
The dining room is fine dining, so a collared shirt is required for men. Luckily we were in our best dressed and got a table right at the window during sunset! We ordered the Parker rolls, Brussel sprouts, bone in pork chop and a lamb special. The Parker rolls were tasty paired with the herb butter. If you NEED bread with your meal, this is perfect, but if you could go with another app I would do the Brussels! They were perfectly crisp, no burnt bits, layered in a delicious sauce that you just wanted to get every last bite of. Then the entrees came out, and man they were stunning. My bone in pork chop was the most well seasoned pork I had ever had. The pork was still glistening from being incredibly moist and fresh. The sides that came with it weren't anything special, but the star of the dish was the pork. Then my husband got the lamb special which were paired with these AMAZING croquettes....I feel so bad for even writing about them because they aren't on the menu...but if any special has croquettes, definitely order them! They were so savory and crispy, 10/10.
Our second dinner on property was a tad different because we weren't dressed well enough so we went to the lounge. And honestly? It was so much more lively and fun, we loved the more casual atmosphere. I got an amazing mojito, which was well balanced! Not too strong but super tasty. We ordered grilled prawns as an app, which were massive! I was expecting a tad more flavor because it was paired with a chili lime butter, but there wasn't much flavor imparted in the prawns themselves. Then for a meal we got a steak frites and the ribeye. My steak frites came a tad underdone so we had to send it back. But when they cooked it a bit more, it was spot on! The chimichurri was nice and bright which complemented the fries and steak so well. My husbands ribeye was so tender and paired so well with his demi sauce, potatoes and asparagus. Finally we ended the night with the maple creme brûlée....which I would recommend getting 100% if it's on the menu. Such a robust flavor in a creamy brûlée. I'd come here just for a dessert to be honest!
We also had breakfast at the dining room on two separate visits. We had the estate breakfast, the omelette, a side of ricotta pancakes and a cranberry and orange scone. The stand outs here were the breakfast potatoes and bacon served with both breakfasts and the scone! The potatoes were so crispy on the outside yet with a fluffy interior. And they were also well seasoned, every bite was delicious. The bacon was very thick, which usually I am not a fan of, but it was imparted with such a smokey flavor and still crispy while being super thick. Then last the scone! It was bright in flavor (you could taste the orange zest inside of it), soft and crumbly yet moist and warm. Everything you want in a scone!
We also tried their lunch another day since a few items looked good. The absolute stunner of the lunch menu is their shaved steak sandwich. Pairing it with the black garlic aioli and caramelized onion jam....wow just an incredible bite. The bread was nice and crispy which the meat was tender and well cooked. It was everything I wanted in a sandwich! The fries were also well seasoned and crispy. My only criticism would be to also pair it with maybe au jus for dipping? I wanted even more of a flavor booster! But really, I hope they keep this on the menu no matter what.
Overall the waitresses were kind and attentive (shout out to Erin and Cristen), the food was incredible and the atmosphere was either fine dining or a cozy upscale lounge. And we loved it! You can tell everything is made in house and things are seasoned and plated with care. It would be our main reason for coming back to the hotel at all!
