We went for lunch and loved the interior decoration and feel of this Norman revival style mansion, built in the 1920’s. The extensive gardens were lovely to look out onto and the food was excellent and not particularly expensive. We will definitely be dining there again.

Everything was wonderful until we received the bill with a 20% hospitality fee that was not for the server. We needed to tip on top of that fee which we did. No thanks!

We attended the Tour Pour du Jour and it was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Christopher, was entertaining and knew every detail about the history of the home and the family who built it, The Gray's. Prior to touring, there was a lovely reception with crackers, cheese, fruit and wine. There weren't enough seats for the 20 people in our group so juggling the plates and glasses was a tad challenging. A few more stand-up tables would be nice. After our tour we enjoyed dinner in the dining room. There was an excellent menu to choose from and each of our options were delicious. The ravioli dish could have used a little more salt or seasoning, but overall things were lovely. Our appetizers were exceptionally good--homemade meatballs in tomato sauce, fried green tomatoes with goat cheesy& jam, and seared scallops on creamed spinach. Each one was better than the last and we'd recommend a similar outing to anyone!

The ambiance was beautiful and the service very good, but the food was not very good. We both ordered fish. I had the sea bass and my wife had salmon. Both were over cooked to the point of being tough. The best part of the dinner was the crème brûlée. That was delicious

Now I understand why there were no other people for lunch at the restaurant. It is a beautiful place and should be full. The problem is, that they don't seem to pay much attention to lunch. The menu is very limited in cooked items compared to the dinner menu. It would be so much more interesting if they offered dinner items for lunch as well. Secondly, the service was very slow (we were the only ones there) and it was obvious the servers were not very well trained. It took twenty minutes to come with the bottle of wine we ordered and then they did not know how to open it. The starter had been served well before the wine arrived and when we were halfway through the starter, they served the main course. Very unprofessional.

Food and service were good. fried green tomatoes were excellent. The house Cab was good as was the prosecco. The big downer was the noise. Apparently feeding a large meeting in another room but the cart taking food into that room was outrageously bothering
