Reviews
Show excellent, seating excellent. Food good, service good. Dress code was needs to be addressed as our interpretation of Country casual is Ladies pant suit and Men Sport dress shirt with nice slacks. That being said, I know the people get lazy about looking good evening dinner dress.
Shirley Anderson - Fenelon Falls, Ontario Canada
The meal was very good and the entertainment was wonderful I especially liked the bluegrass music as well as the comedy. All the talents worked great together
Bulah Hinds - Jamestown, TN
