This was our second visit to SpringHouse. Our first experience was very good, but unfortunately, this visit did not quite measure up. I had made the reservation well in advance, and upon arrival, the hostess initially attempted to seat us in the bar area. I politely declined and requested a table in the main dining room, which was accommodated without issue. Our waiter was polite, attentive, and provided very good service throughout the evening. We began with the charcuterie plate and mixed green salad. The charcuterie was underwhelming, consisting of a few slices of seemingly packaged salami, several cheeses, jam, and crackers. The salad was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. For our entrées, we selected the Wagyu New York strip and the bone-in pork chop. The Wagyu was overly salty and not at all impressive, particularly for the price. It was accompanied by oddly seasoned, dehydrated green beans that did little to enhance the dish. The pork chop, however, was the clear highlight of the meal. It was excellently prepared and served with delicious grits. SpringHouse has a warm, inviting rustic atmosphere and remains a pleasant dining experience overall. Some of the food preparation and execution would benefit from greater refinement, but there was still enough to enjoy that we would return read more

Went there for a family outing and had a nice time. We were immediately seated. Prices were moderate. The place is nicely designed. I had the wings and a salad. The wings were ok but the salad was hard to cut and eat. The service was very nice. I also tasted the flatbread pizza and it was fine. read more

Always a special night out when we score a reservation at Spring House. Highly recommend --food, ambiance, service--no complaints.

Made reservations two months in advance, for one! I was the first costumer of the night. I'm a straight single guy so I never get preferred seating, but tonight I was sat at a table in the corner of the porch. Outside, on the west side of the building, it's 90* in the shade. When I asked to be seated inside I was told there were none available. There was not another customer in the building. I would have spent about 100.00 in just 30 minutes. Instead, I said thank you and walked out. Fanny's around the corner provided great food great service, cost me about 25.00. I gave the young lady the 100 I would have spent at Spring House. read more

The food was delicious. Had the cheese plate which was fine. My main dish was the clams it was awesome. The service was fine. Our server was not very dynamic. The hostesses were extremely nice. It's a beautiful restaurant inside. I couldn't really tell what the restaurant looks like on the outside because event tents were set up everywhere. read more

Good food the service was good. Excellent restaurant. I will return. Nice ambiance. Nice drive from Birmingham

Let me begin by saying, if you go to the Springhouse for a dining experience, take out a mortage. This is a very special place on all levels which rates a 5 out of 5-star rating from me. Special occasions, and event. Drinks: They know how to make a drink. They are $18.00 each but worth the money. The wines are also good. Service: Our waiter was perfect. Knew his stuff, observant, smart, and allowed the meal to be the entertainment. The Food: The menu was limited with is a plus for me. Four folks and everyone ordered something different. The bread on the table was some of the best I have ever eaten in any restaurant. It came will soft wonderfully butter. My wife's pasta dish was GREAT. He cleaned her plate then took the break and wiped it cleaner. The Scallops were excellent. The beef with the potatoes were a perfect combination. The Cesar Salad was a bit disappointing but just because everything else was so good. The ambiance: This place is beautiful in every way. The view is spectacular. The quality of the plates, doors, silver wear and the list go on. This lovely place has my highest recommendation. read more

The fact they charge a 4% Co-op "tax" bothers me. And the fact that no one seemed to be able to properly explain what it is when asked. Seems a little fraudulent they can add a fee arbitrarily at the end of a meal. Meal was okay. The crab cake appetizer looked like it was processed. Tortellini pasta was very tough. Drinks were excellent. read more

We went to the Spring House on Valentines, no reservations but yet they were able to seat the two of us at the bar. I can't remember what he had but I had the Dove. It was a special I believe. The atmosphere is charming. read more

Our last trip was very disappointing. It had been a few years since my last dinner there but remembered pricy but excellent dining. What a change. The setting is still cozy and trendy and the service still excellent but the food and selection are noticeably worse. Occasionally one gets a menu and nothing really looks like what you want. All six of us did that. The ladies decided on appetizers and the beets were good. The fried okra appetizer was just poorly fried okra. The tomato soup was good but that is good at home from a box. Two of us defaulted to the baked chicken breast which was cooked well but nothing to speak of. The halibut dish was very disappointing as my dining partner said he had never seen a piece of halibut so small. We did not have dessert. I will not be back until someone lets me the food is better. read more

The Springhouse is back! We had dinner there their first night of opening and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant has been fully restored has some new furniture and several new items on the menu. McKenzie was our waitress and she is phenomenal! She covered every detail and made sure we were completely happy. They have some new craft cocktails which are wonderful. My wife had the vegetable plate, the cream corn was outstanding! I had the chicken which was juicy and moist. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate torte with raspberry coolis and strawberries and delicious whip cream. Don't forget to try the new after dinner cocktail with Kahlúa and coffee. It will knock your socks off. Can't wait to go back! read more

Book reservation well in advance! Great food with beautiful view. Went to Sunday Brunch and it was delicious read more

This place is a gem hidden in rolling hills of green grass and lush tree line overlooking well kept stables with the lake in the distance. For landscape alone, it's a must see. Going there by boat is a treat. Pull into the slew and call ahead for the golf cart service to drive you to the front door. The menu changes, but my recent trip I had fresh okra with blue cheese cream and the seared scallop pasta. It was perfect. read more

10/10 such amazing service and food we went for my 30th birthday and I enjoyed time with family! The food was amazing and the atmosphere is so relaxing. read more

Oh my gosh! Who would have ever guess such a fantastic place would be tucked in the outskirts of A small town! This was the first of many surprise stops Jimmy planned for my birthday. I had no idea of where we were going but He told me I could dress up! How exciting! So I chose my little black dress and sequined heels :) When we drove up to the property a large windmill with Springhill identified it. Brink pavers led the way around a general store, large working tower clock (with windows so you can see the gears working) and around to a Gorgeous rock and shake "home". Lots of floor to ceiling windows on all sides and several tall chimneys. The home over looked beautiful fields and sunset. As we walked in we were greeted by the host who quickly took us to our seat. We were seated by a huge working rock fireplace that had old meat racks for roasting and a large black soup pot. Either side of he fireplace has an attached bread oven where the servers are constantly going to to retrieve hot fresh baked bread. It's large inside with a lot of seating but it feels so private! On the opposite side of the fireplace is an open kitchen. A small bar is to the left and begins the bar is more seating with two fireplaces. It looks like that area can be closed off by glass doors for private parties or opened for additional seating. The ceilings tower above and boast large rustic beams. Inside walls are rock and rustic wood. The decor is absolutely beautiful, rustic but elegant!! Our servers (there were so many who waited on us) were all quick and seemed to anticipate every want or need we had. They service excelled in so many ways! The plating is all hand made pottery pieces. Everything served is either grown, made or gotten local so menu changes with seasons. Did I tell you the even make their own butter and crackers?? Seriously! Melts in your mouth! We ordered fire roasted quail, served over fingerling potatoes with creamed pimento cheese on the bottom. Delicious! Our entrees were short ribs and mackerel served with a kale salad. The salad had grapefruit, purple onions, kale and a flavorful vinaigrette dressing. The meals were both exceptional and such a treat. Everything about our experience there was top notch from start to finish. Note: the have lots of outdoor activities we didn't do because it was dark. But they offer horse drawn carriage rides, horse back riding, canoeing, bike rides and more. All the grounds are manicured and designed to invite you to come in and stay a while. Important: reservations are highly encouraged. read more

Gorgeous setting and restaurant. Food is delicious and presentation is delightful. Always greeted and served with a smile.

We tried to get a reservation for Mothers Day-- and were put on the wait list. Got a call for seats at the Chefs Table. Got another call the day before to make sure we would be there. We arrived early and our seats were waiting. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Enjoyed our experience. We will definitely return! read more

Spring house is pretty and the service is great. The food is mediocre. It's a nice place to have dinner but the menu could be improved. Too heavy, buttery, bland. The tiramisu was great! read more

Awesome food, amazing ambiance and superb service!!! One of our favorite places!! We are glad that this place is close by. read more

Chef Pete knocks it out of the park again! We had a party of 11 and dined downstairs in the WellHouse (amazing views). The wonderful McKenzie was our server, and she was outstanding as always! Our cocktails were perfectly made (as well as very generous). The bread was wonderful as always. Everyone got different appetizers to pass around the table, and everything was ridiculously good. The BBQ shrimp toast was probably my favorite. My friend and I split the vegetable plate and added grouper, and it was by far the best I've ever had. Desserts were to die for, it was hard to pick a favorite, but I would have to go with the cobbler! A huge shout out to Chef Pete, McKenzie, and Stephanie for making our special night perfect! read more

Was so looking forward to dinner only to be greatly disappointed! Only reason I am not giving one star is our poor waiter tried! First our reservation was at 7:30 we didn't get served til 9:00. The menu is much smaller, not as many options. They had run out of scallops, ok it happens. Then my second cocktail was in a water glass because they ran out of highballs. They said they were out of the wine the others were drinking. Then he comes back with a bottle he "found". It was BAD! Tasted awful, smelled like vinegar! My pork chop, though the flavor was good, it was very undercooked and pink in the middle. Not sure what is going on, but its not the same place, not the same food, not the same service- very disappointed read more

Great food. Great service staff. Wonderful ambiance. We will definitely return as soon as we can!

Great atmosphere and excellent food. However the chef messed up 50% of our orders. Still was good and would recommend

Great service, great atmosphere, surroundings and view, and great food even with the limited COVID menu. We highly recommend the SpringHouse. read more

Amazing place all around. Food, service and setting were all exceptional! Look forward to our next visit!

I had the bone in Pork Chop it was prepared medium. It was juicy, tender and a wonderful flavor. The black eye pea and a chow chow type side made for the perfect meal. For dessert I had a rhubarb with a creamy lemon sauce. I always like to try some of the not so common desserts. It was amazing! read more

Buckle up for the best brunch experience of my life. We sat on the outdoor patio, which is beautiful and rustic. It overlooks a pasture with horses - my favorite part of the experience. Our waitress was sweet as sugar. She was attentive without hovering. I started with a very delicious, rich Bloody Mary. We got the pimento cheese and deviled eggs as an appetizer. Both were lovely. The homemade bread and butter took the cake as far as appetizers go. My boyfriend literally was tasting the butter with a fork. I had the chicken which was moist with a crispy skin and my boyfriend had the duck, which he raved about. Our wait for the food would possibly have been annoying except that the environment was so great. I could have sat on that patio watching the horses for an eternity. read more

For ten years we have been going to Springhouse to dine with our now 83 year old grandmother. It's always been our "happy place" as it is a beautiful structure set in a gorgeous location. We've always enjoyed the food and the cocktails are amazing. Service has been excellent too. Unfortunately our visit for the Sunday brunch was cut short just after our cocktails arrived when the chef/general manager came to our table and insisted we leave based on some unclear allegation regarding wait staff preferences. All four of us ladies couldn't understand what we had said or done to cause offense. He just wanted us gone and said we could contact corporate if we had any questions. Three of us have tried making contact and have gotten no response. So until we get this issue resolved we are afraid to go back even though we were invited to come back another time. Since our drinks were on the table I asked if we could at least finish them and was told emphatically "no" and to leave immediately. Needless to say we were traumatized. read more

SpringHouse consistently delivers. Service is top notch, food is fresh and amazing and the ambiance is second to none. The rotating menu takes advantage of the local and seasonal flavors. I have never had a bad meal here - from starters to desserts, the most delicious food you will find in Alabama. read more

SpringHouse is so good! Surprisingly, we have spent many summers on the lake and I have only been here 3 times. I think it's because SpringHouse has always been viewed as a very fancy place to eat. It is a modern, rustic, casual elegance type restaurant. There are multiple floors of dining space and a small bar-type area on the main floor. I would recommend making reservations beforehand. I ate here last night with family which prompted me to write a review. Pros: The building is very modern and the atmosphere is really cool. Parking is plentiful. The menu is short but everything on it is incredible. Basically, the food is wonderful. You are going to pay at least $30 for an entree but it is definitely worth it. The appetizers were very tasty and the desserts are even better. The cheesecake was so light but delicious. You have to try one of the after-dinner drinks. They are like dessert cocktails and worth every penny! Beautiful views as well. The master chef has been nominated for several awards and I'm pretty sure has been nominated for best chef in the south. The staff was very friendly, polite, welcoming, and knowledgable. So the only negative was from my experience last night... and it wasn't really a negative at all. I ordered the chicken and it was a tad undercooked on one side of one piece. I didn't eat it all and when the waiter took my plate, he noticed and made a comment. I told him it was fine because it was just that small section, and the rest was delicious. Our waiter immediately apologized, took the entree off our ticket ($39), and gave me a free dessert. That is top of the line, good customer service! Overall, we will definitely be visiting SpringHouse more often. I am disappointed we haven't gone here more in the past! A great choice for any occasion. read more

I am all about this! Beautiful decor, great food, beautifully decorated dishes. It is pure bliss. read more

We love SpringHouse! We enjoy celebrating our Anniversary here and brunch on occasion. We live on Lake Martin and always recommend this restaurant to friends that come to visit that want a superb dining experience and excellent gourmet meal. The views are amazing and the ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. We also love the handmade pottery plates that the food is served on. It is such a special touch! read more

We went to spring house many times in the past always had a great time and it was reasonably priced , but we haven't been in a year probably and decided to go there the other night. They food was nothing to write home about , the service was excellent just when I pay over a $100 for me and my wife I expect complete satisfaction from the food, my wife got the veggie plate and it was just bland tasting , I got the chicken Mac and cheese and it's was a handful of noodles and a chicken wing on top WTF, 2 drinks and an appetizer. To me the food and the experience is not worth the money. read more

Love this place! The food, atmosphere, service and wine selection is always perfection. Go here at least 3x times a month and when COVID hit we still did take out. The outside upper deck is perfect for a sunset dinner on a date night. Will always be coming back! read more

This is an exceptionally beautiful restaurant. The grounds and building don't have anything comparable to it in this part of Alabama. Service was tops and my steak was incredible. The only thing keeping me from going five stars on this place is the upcharge on wine and the quality of some of the other dishes. A corkage fee is $25 but that is cheap compared to the upcharges on the simple wine list that they offer. Even at $25 for wine service it's worth bringing your own due to the fact of how proud they are of the wines on their list. All of our entrees were good. My steak was exceptional but it came at an exceptional cost. I paid $45 for a strip when I can get an equally, if not more, incredible rib eye for a little less in the Gump or Auburn. The other entrees were good but for the cost you can do better at some of the other fine dining establishments down the road. For Lake Martin there isn't any place finer than Spring House... but there are better values a few miles down I-85 in either direction. read more

Expensive. Small portions. Bland. Slow service. Did I say expensive? Not enough local menu offerings. It's on Lake Martin, but on the menu they only had fish from the sea... Ultimately the only reason this place is popular is because there's such a limited selection of restaurants on Lake Martin. They have too many hostesses. I think there were at least five the night we went and they were all just standing idly around the hostess stand. Lastly, if you're going to offer cornbread -- learn how to make it moist and palatable. read more

Great atmosphere with beautiful sunset views. Food was very good. The pork chop was done well on a bed of sautéed cauliflower and a tangy sauce. Others has the chicken which was moist and on a bed of rice and mushrooms. The rice was salty and there should have been a few more mushrooms. The coconut cake was dense cake and felt a little dry though others liked it. On the whole a great experience except for our young waiter who was inattentive and a smart ass. Bar tender was very good and helpful get the Split the Check. Entres are $28 alacarte read more
