"I am sorry to leave such a negative review,but I do this to save others from an expensive mistake. Friends wanted to treat us to a fine dining experience so they made reservations here after confirming they could accommodate a vegan. Yes we can do anything was the reply . Not so When our server approached, our host reminded her that her guest was vegan and that the chef had said he could do something special. Yes, we can do anything ' she brightly assured me. I said OK, welli would like the chicken piccatta with tofu substituted for the chicken. Oh, we don 't have tofu; we could leave off the chicken and the garlic mashed potatoes because they 're made with butter . I said ok, what would you substitute? She just shrugged. I said, ok, let 's make this easy--I will have the garden burger. 10 min later she informs me that they 're out of garden burgers and what else would I like. I offered some suggestions which apparently couldn 't be modified. Ok then, I will just have the house salad and a side plate of vegetables. The 'house salad ' turned out to be a side of salad, not a dinner salad. A few greens on a dessert plate, 4 slices of cucumber. And a cherry tomato. For $19 no less.my husband would be embarrassed to serve me a salad like that. It was paltry and very sad. The side of veggies was 3 quarters of 1/3 of a zucchini (sliced like pickle spears). Imagine 1/3 of a zucchini, sliced like pickle spears, and then 3 quarter inch wide by 3 inches long. Really? It was the saddest vegetable platter I 've ever seen and it was served in a dessert bowl.a bowl mind you. It was a very disappointing 'meal ' to be sure.i know our hosts feltbad for their guest to be served a child size bowl of greens. My husband, not a vegan, did order the chicken piccatta. As a carnivore, he was extremely disappointed, too. The chicken was mediocre at best. The bed of garlic mashed potatoes was cold, had no garlic, tasted old and like it was instant mashed potatoes. $22 for that. The server offered us the wine list and couldn 't answer any question about the wines. Not difficult questions either, more like is this a sweet wine or dry . From assuring me 'we can do anything (which was clearly false) to not being knowledgeable about the food or wine, it was a disastrous dining experience. I was embarrassed for our hosts who were clearly embarrassed that a thoughtful gesture turned into a sad plate of greens for their guest. The charcuterie board our hosts had ordered was pathetic. 2strawberries, dozen blueberries, a few slices of meat and cheese, and a few cubes of Flatbread. A really terrible, thoughtless presentation, esp for $24. This was not a fine dining experience. I have had a better dinner at Carl 's Jr with their vegan burgers and at a fraction of the price. I will say that the outdoor patio was pretty with the forest flanking the golf course. But you can 't eat a view. I recommend simply having a drink on the patio (an easy one since they clearly don 't know their beverages) and dine somewhere else in town."
