    three sausages on a white plate

    Decent food! Our server, Skylar was great. The restaurant is on the first floor of the resort. We had breakfast 3 days in a row. The buffet was solid, some of the pastries were a big stale but otherwise it was great. Plenty of vegetarian options.

    Nice seating for all sizes of groups

    We arrived on time for dinner and were told the bar was opened for dinner service. The place looks nice. The menu was a lunch menu--only sandwiches and flatbreads. They were out of the brisket which my husband wanted. So he ordered the Mahi Sandwich with sweet potato fries. They were out of the fries so he opted for a side salad. I ordered the classic flatbread. His sandwich was super salty and very spicy. So much so he couldn't finish it. When our server heard she offered us a free dessert. We ordered the fruit crumble. He told her he had a dairy allergy, but the dessert came Topped with vanilla ice cream. She apologized. One bite of the crumble and we both thought it tasted like a frozen, stale Sara Lee dessert. Very disappointing. The only reason they get a two star is for the service--she was great. The atmosphere was great. The food not worth the price.

    Lucy's literally never disappoints. We came from Columbus, GA and it's 100% worth the drive. We had…read moreMonica as our server this time around, and she's a fantastic server and with great energy! She made sure we were taken care of, was very clear and knowledgeable about the menu, gave incredible recommendations, and was also thoughtful in celebrating my boyfriend's promotion to Captain in the Army! The ambiance is really sweet. Whether you're here on a date, catching up with friends over a nice meal, in the mood to watch some sports, or celebrating a special occasion, this is your place! There's a sweet vibe going on with some music in the back, but it's not too loud where you can't hear your own conversations at the table. The food? Chef's kiss. They have a rotating menu, I think depending on the season/time of year, but they have some consistent all-year-round items on the menu. I first came here on Valentine's weekend with my boyfriend, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about their truffle parm fries, nor their milk and cookies- finger licking good. This time around, we got the Farmer's Daughter (which made my usually anti-veggie boyfriend absolutely love btw), half-dozen Gulf Coast oysters, and fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks. This is the kind of place you go to where you won't be able to find these dishes just anywhere. It's uniquely delicious, and I genuinely think you can't go wrong with what you choose! My boyfriend, a coffee connoisseur, also loves their French Press Coffee! Thank you Lucy's, for always such a great experience and for fantastic food.

    Extremely noisy so bring ear plugs and forget about table conversations…read more Expensive and then they attach a 3% fee because their kitchen staff do not make a good salary. I will go elsewhere in the future as the value and cost ratio is not worth the visit.

    There's a particular kind of joy in feeding your college kid something that didn't come from a…read moredrive-thru window or a dining hall steam tray--and this place delivers that joy in butter, spice, and just the right amount of indulgence. Tucked into Auburn's dining scene with an upscale-casual pub charm, it's become our daughter's favorite spot to "take us" when we visit--which tells you everything you need to know. After a semester fueled by ramen and an alarming quantity of Chick-fil-A, she heads straight for the spicy penne crowned with perfectly cooked filet medallions. A wise choice. They don't take reservations, and yes, you may linger outside awhile on a busy night. Stay. It's worth it. For those of us with Gulf Coast roots, the menu reads like a love letter: blackened catfish done right, crispy crawfish tails, and cheese-laced grits that feel like a warm welcome home. The fried green tomatoes are a standout--golden, crisp, topped with grilled shrimp, and finished with a balsamic glaze that somehow works beautifully, even if it strays from tradition. The shrimp and grits, the catfish, the pasta--all hits. Cheesecake for dessert, especially if you're loyal to a graham cracker crust, is non-negotiable. Dim, cozy, a little whimsical (don't skip art in the hallway to the bathroom), and staffed by people who seem genuinely happy you're there. We'll be back. Often. --Chance & Becky *All Ahead Slow*

    Gorgeous place! The staff is incredible…read more We all loved our meals. They use fresh farm to table ingredients and you can really taste it. We had the oysters... yum. Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal. Sadly, no lattes... the only other bummer was that the waiter forgot my cocktail. He apologized when I asked for it... I know accidents happen

    The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.

The customer service at the front desk was excellent and we were noticed and greeted upon arrival. When seated and after ordering it took about 10-15 minutes to receive our appetizer and food which wasn't bad. Our server seemed to not want/struggled to accommodate our needs. We did not receive knives for our steaks and had to constantly raise our hands to get our server's attention. True enough the restaurant was busy but we did not ask for much. The complementary bread was fresh and hot and the sodas were not flat. Both the appetizers(tiger shrimp and side salad) were amazing but the main course on the other hand did not meet our expectations. We all ordered our steaks medium well but one of our steaks were cooked too well that a knife could not even cut through it. Also, the broccoli was halfway done and was still crunchy. The appetizers were the star of the show 10/10!! The main courses and table service need major improvement. Sad to say I don't know if we will be back.
