    Good food but not great service. Every table around us received bread while awaiting their meal but not our table. Waters were not refilled even when completely empty. Server was making unpleasant faces when delivering food to our table. We did bring a school aged child with us so maybe they just don’t like kids. We also were not given enough silverware for our table but luckily another server was able to help after we were looking around for our waitress.

    We loooved it here. It was cozy and the ambiance was perfection. I wish this wasn’t a place we found on vacation lol! I wish it was down the street from our house. We came here to celebrate after our private elopement. It seemed multiple people knew that when we walked in and all said congratulations! It was such a lovely, warm welcome. Our waitress was incredible and was so lovely with our toddler. The food was near the top of what I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Everything was cooked to perfection. The shrimp cocktail was insane. I’ve never had more perfectly cooked shrimp. The apple crisp dessert was also perfection! If we find ourselves back in Gaylord again we will 100% be back again!!
