Incredibly Disappointed…read more Our family made reservations well in advance for this past weekend in celebration of my Grandmother turning 101. So many family members came together (from multiple states away) for this momentous occasion (around 65 adults/young children). Approximately around 45 minutes after arrival, a male staff member came over seemly very displeased to advise that they only had one waitress on staff for the entire bar + restaurant (as the rest of the staff was on vacation due to Weddings). It was decided that we would all immediately sit so orders could be taken. Some family members even attempting to be helpful and writing the entire tables orders down for the waitress. A couple of family members attempted to assist the waitress and helped to bring waters to the tables. While it was somewhat understandable that food would take some time for a large party like ours, we had several having to ask about their orders after a couple hours, with 8 leaving having never received their food. We started around 430pm and leaving around 9pm. I truly felt for our waitress (Judy R?) as we understand this is not a reflection upon her but a very HUGE issue with management. As we were wrapping up there was yet another dinner party arriving - sad to have to forewarn for disappointment. "People don't leave bad jobs; they leave because of bad bosses, poor management and a lack of appreciation for their worth."

You can learn about owls, hawks, snakes, turtles, and more. You can find each of these live animals inside. Most have a write-up near their exhibits to teach you more about them. If you are lucky you can visit the center when the snake is taken out of its cage and have the opportunity to hold it or see it up close. There are plenty of interactive displays inside and several places where little ones can play. Whether outdoors or indoors this is the perfect way to spend a day.

The tables and chairs look like they came from a 1990 auction. I ordered the house Cabernet. My advice is DON'T DO IT. I am not a wine snob, but this wine was not palatable. I sent it back for the J. Lohr and it came back tasting just like the terrible house wine. After a little investigation, we figured out it was the house wine again. The server was accommodating and the third glass I got was sufficient for my palate. For dinner I ordered the Asian Stir Fry. Again, my recommendation is DON'T DO IT. Stick to what Minnesota is good at, meat and potatoes. That is a much safer bet. The plates my fellow diners ordered looked much more palatable than mine. My dish was basically teriyaki sauce soup with veggies and rice. It was not edible and in my opinion should have never left the kitchen looking the way it did. I ended up having a Kind bar for dinner. My overall experience was unpleasant. However, I think if you order fish, meat, or a salad and you splurge on the wine, you will have an okay experience.
