3 stars for dinner, 4 stars for breakfast
My group of 3 stayed at Manning Resort and dined here for both dinner and breakfast. I was very underwhelmed by the food at dinner, but surprisingly we really enjoyed breakfast here the next morning.
The dining area is pretty plain in terms of decor, but there is a fire crackling in the middle of the room which I appreciated. Too bad all the tables around the fire were full when we arrived.
We came by Sunday evening around 6 for dinner and it wasn't too busy. I thought it'd be packed as this is the only restaurant nearby, but that wasn't the case.
I had been cold all day, so when I saw the hot apple toddy ($9.95) on the menu, I knew I had to get it. It was surprisingly quite strong but it was nice and hot and just what I wanted.
For food, we shared the chicken tenders ($17) as we were all starving. They were pretty standard.
I shared the tenderloin medallions ($32) and the braised pork shoulder ($26) with my friend, and honestly both were disappointing, especially the pork shoulder. It was super dry, even with the sauce, and nowhere on the menu did they mention that it'd be cooked with barbecue sauce. I really don't like bbq sauce, so if I had known that, I would've picked something different to order. I asked for the beef medallions medium rare, but the three pieces weren't cooked consistently. Two were medium rare but one was quite rare on the inside. I liked the roasted potatoes and veggies that were served on the side.
I finished the meal full but not quite satisfied. Not the kind of feeling you want to have after dropping $130 on a meal.
For breakfast the next morning, I ordered the three egg omelette ($17) to go with sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomato. I was shocked by how good it was. The omelette was super fluffy and thick and definitely didn't look like they only used three eggs in it, and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly. Definitely one of the best omelettes I've had recently! read more
