    We went expressly for their 3 course meal tonight. It sounded yummy and it didn't disappoint. We had fritters for a starter, which were fried with seafood inside and other ingredients we couldn't identify. They were very tasty. The entree was slow cooked boneless short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. There was a wine demi glaze over the meat that was delicious. We finished with a vanilla mousse with candied cherry sprinkles over the top. Wonderful evening.

    We love going to the Lodge. We know the staff and they make a point to say hello and chat with us. I had the Bolognese and it was delicious. My husband was jealous. He ordered the chicken, which is always good. Enjoyable evening.

    Service was great. The food tonight was fine. We have been here before and felt the food was much better. The Dynamite Shrimp was a little too sweet and coating too crunchy for my taste. 2 pieces of bok choy. The sticky rice was good. Pear and burrata salad had pork belly croutons that had an odd taste. My husband love the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Sad to say, it wasn’t our best dinner.

    Located in a beautiful setting with rolling hills and lots of trees. We were warmly greeted and seated by the window, to enjoy the pretty view. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Great cocktails and a good wine list. The meatloaf was delicious and the pork chop was incredible. Everything was very good and I can see why many locals come here.

    We will absolutely come back here but the Australian prawn special was challenging for my wife. We didn't expect it to be presented like a creole dish (i.e. heads and tails attached) similar to something you might see with crawfish in NOLA. Pasta was nice and light and the service was excellent.

    Don’t order the steak frites - the amount of steak is tiny - better to get the new york strip. Service was very slow.
