Mallard - Lake Dixie Springs

I was still thinking about the food the next day. Filet was tender. Mashed potatoes, well seasoned, maybe overly so. The cucumber tomato salad surprised me. I was expecting to taste zucchini. My salad was a Queen of Hearts. Crispy with vinegrette, maybe raspberry. Loved it. And the bread pudding...I preferred the crispy parts. The beginning of the evening was a bit off. We were offered seats in the bar instead of their asking our preference. And when I ordered my steak medium, the server questioned me, telling me "it's pink." I flatly repeated, "I want medium." She returned and apologized because my mouth didn't say it, but my face did: this ain't my first damned steak. Parking: Parking is ragged. Drive slowly

Hands down, great experience and food!!

A group of us went to the restaurant by referral. Driving up, it's beautiful, sits back a little so when you drive up when the sun is down and the lights are on. When you entered, the hostess was friendly, and she even opened the door when she noticed you. The service started out a little rough bc the server wasn't very attentive and was kind of rushed, but it got better as the night went on. We even thought about asking for another server, but he got it right. The food was delicious. The shrimp were large and juicy. Flavored to perfection. The ambiance is very nice and the decor is pleasant. It has a romantic vibe, yet it's a great atmosphere for friends and family. There was one guy who took a few pictures for us that were extremely friendly. He could have been a manager because he also came to check on us to make sure everything was good.

The costume event to benefit Pals and Brookhaven animal shelter and rescue was a nice event altho all the food that was provided by the sponsors was COLD. Drink's were extremely overpriced. The lights, decorations, layout, and great fog effects gave the evening event the perfect Halloween feel. No crazy vibes were in the air so we felt relaxed and safe. Folks who attended were sociable and friendly as well as the staff. We left at 10pm therefore missed the costume contest ect.... i feel that anyone who supports an event to help animals are all winners
