Chefs Garden

The host at the front desk was very friendly and gave us great tips on our stay. With a young one, we chose to head over here for dinner early without a reservation. It was great, with live music and great organic food! I’m so excited about the organic dining option. They lose one star for waiters who don’t smile or check in on you with sincerity. I think they only came over because I told the host I found this resort on trip advisor and heard some restaurants here had poor reviews.
This one does deserve a better score though. The great grains salad I had was a large bowl of many different varieties of unique mushrooms and bitter greens, sprinkled with wild grains. I loved it! My husband wished his pork ribs came with sauce, but I liked it. It was cooked well, just needed more flavor or a drizzle at the end. It’s definitely a healthy dining option here. No rice or fries here! Corn bread came at the beginning and was loved by the whole family. Not sure I can get my husband to come back, but I enjoyed it!

Gorgeous setting but the food was mediocre. I was really looking forward to the creative recipe for the corn on the cob but the corn was old and wrinkled and the grilling sauce was flavorless. The salad for 4 was beautiful and delicious but the rest of the meal, the lamb and grilled vegetables were not very flavorful or special in the least.

Everything was fantastic. We had the chilled cucumber soup with crab, salad for two, the rifle ranch lamb, the pulled pork, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Great food great service and you dine outside in the garden. We have been here serval times and will continue to return.

I will give it a star for the setting alone. The service, food and cost were awful. I really wanted to love it! No bread and rolls given, even though other tables clearly got that. We had the oysters app for 17 dollars. 4 very tiny oysters overloaded with a glob of sweet corn mush, and very spicy jalopenos pepper. I only ate one… and I know oysters, having lived in New Orleans.
The blackened grouper was bland, NOT blackened at all, served over plain rice and some green beans. 35 dollars? My dh had the barbeque plate… WAY over priced at 45 dollars with STALE cornbread. Unbelievable!!!
