We recently stayed at The Belgrove Resort & Spa over Labor Day Weekend, which was an amazing short vacation. We decided to eat at their local restaurant ... Society 48.
First, I will say the food was delicious, all dishes were presented nicely and had lots of flavor, we were not disappointed, unfortunately, the experience fell short after dinner. We ordered 2 x desserts and after waiting for about 15min. we were then told they ran out of Tiramisu, due to another large event, ok no problem, so we decided just to stick with Creme Brûlée, that was another 5 min wait time. Then the dessert came but was not presentable, the waitress had to caramelize the sugar with a portable blowtorch, ok no problem if the waitress was trained properly. She accidentally poured too much sugar and then struggled to caramelize the dish, which was still undercooked. We then asked to speak to a manager, but he just had the waitress attempt to caramelize the dish again (at our table), it was still undercooked. We barely ate the dessert, this unfortunately left an underwhelming experience for us, although the appetizers and main entrees were delicious, so perhaps desserts are not their forte.
The restaurant itself is very nice, clean, spacious and has great lighting, so that's a plus. All and all, we had a good experience and I would rate 5 stars, but deducting 1 star due to the underwhelming dessert experience.
Will we go again? yes, mainly because the other items we ordered were delicious. read more
