The portions are generous, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and there's a wonderful emphasis on the flavors of the season. Whether you're looking for a leisurely, high-end lunch or a memorable dinner, Whisper Creek is a beautiful choice. The farm-to-table approach, warm atmosphere, and attention to detail make this a standout dining experience at Grande Lakes. Definitely worth a visit this fall!

We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and didn't leave until approximately 10:40 p.m. Despite being there for…read morenearly two and a half hours, our order consisted of two appetizers, an order of Brussel sprouts, two desserts, a bottle of spring water, and two virgin mojitos. For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

We came for the first time for magical dining last night and had an awesome experience. The…read morerestaurant is on the lower level of the Ritz and is much larger than we anticipated. It's a bit confusing because you have to walk past the bar area (with two pool tables) towards the back to find the host stand. While making my reservation, I opted for the semi-private dining room and we had almost the entire area to ourselves and were seated in an oversized comfy booth. Our server was very nice and made great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, was well presented, decent portions, and tasted great. We especially loved the Caesar tartare, lamb shank, apple pie, and cookies. The cookies were especially unique and they also added decorative chocolates to both with celebratory messages based on our reservation. No notes, we will be back!

There were others assisting him and ensuring we had the best possible time. He told us the specials and several of us went with them. We immediately got drinks. As we were looking over the menu, fireworks started outside. We all went out to watch a bit. For appetizers we ordered 3-4 meatball plates, and 3-4 salads. They were both really good. The salad was so tasty! For dinner I ordered the Flounder piccata. A lot of people ordered the special, the pork saltimbocca. One gentleman, who is vegetarian, ordered the mushroom steak. Everything was delicious! No one had any complaints, or any leftovers! For dessert we ordered a couple of pavlovas and a couple of the pistachio cannolis. They were very good!

I tried the nachos with extra Carne Asada, and they definitely packed it on.

It was a bit layered in which really helped and didn't take away from the crispiness of the tortilla chips. They were well salted and had great flavor.

Saturday night and what better place to have dinner than 60 vines!…read more Showed up around 6pm and sat at the bar. It was a first for us but will probably be our go to from here on out. The bar tenders were super attentive and the specific one who was serving us was on point. He was friendly - very attentive - even let my husband try a small sampling of their hand selected Blantons. My husband got the pork chop for dinner, which is his go to and like always it was perfectly cooked. He very rarely orders pork chops at any other restaurant that we dine at, but he always gets it here that tells you just how good it is. I stuck with my go to which is the creste de Gallo. The flavor in the dish is just so good and the portion size is perfect. Even though it's pasta, I never walk away feeling like I am completely stuffed and can't move - Unlike other pasta dishes I've had at other places.

The bartenders were also amazing--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything, which made the happy hour experience that much better. I had originally planned on doing Magical Dining, so I started with the Albondigas (Spanish meatballs). Unfortunately, they were a major disappointment. The texture was strangely rubbery, they lacked flavor, and they weren't served very hot. After a few bites, I honestly lost my appetite and decided not to continue with the rest of the Magical Dining meal. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has a beautiful, lively atmosphere, and the bar experience was excellent. I really wanted to enjoy dinner as much as I enjoyed the drinks and service. Overall, 3/5. I would definitely come back for happy hour, the Espresso Martinis and bartenders alone make that worthwhile but based on the food I tried, I wouldn't rush back for dinner.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

The overall…read moreexperience was excellent from start to finish, largely thanks to an amazing service team that kept everything running seamlessly and made us feel genuinely welcomed. As expected from a winery, the wine selection was outstanding and easily the star of the table. When it came to the dining, it was a bit of a mixed bag, though the appetizers got things off to a strong start. The quesadilla was packed with flavor and really hit the mark. The Drunken Shrimp, however, missed the landing--they were slightly dry and had a noticeably chewy texture. For the main course, the filet mignon medallions/tenderloin were decent in flavor, but the meat was a bit too chewy for what should have been a melt-in-your-mouth cut. Even with a couple of hiccups on the kitchen side, the stellar wine, fantastic appetizers, and top-tier service carried the evening. It's definitely a solid, fun spot to visit on I-Drive, and we'd happily return.

We did end up waiting at the table for 20-25 mins before anyone came to us. Unfortunately, we also waited about 20 mins for our cocktails as well. Apps: Caesar Salad - The freshly shaved parmesan was the best thing paired with a creamy caesar and fresh lettuce. This was a close 1st place caesar salad on my list. Santa Fe Salad - Loved that there was a whole avocado included with the salad. It really broke up some of the bold/intense flavors that come from a southwest salad. Entrees: Honey Glazed Norwegian Salmon - Presentation was great and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The bed of carrots were tasty and paired nicely with the salmon. Steak Frites - The fries were FANTASTIC. I couldn't stop eating them. The steak was cooked medium well so it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Dessert: Caramel Lava Cake - Hard outside but warm gooey inside. Paired with ice cream and caramel oh so good!! Doughnut Drops - I NEED THESE EVERY TIME I GO HERE. Wow, thanks to magical dining I ended up trying these and WOW WOW WOW. Thin crunchy outside and a pillow soft inside. Came with a chocolate dipping sauce and ice cream. PLEASE get this!! Overall I give it a 4/5. Food is excellent, Service was friendly and helpful but the wait times are unfortunate. Ambiance is great and lively but can get a little loud.
