The Retreat

I had the apple berries salad with goat cheese. He had roasted beef on a wicked man. Both were delicious. Great atmosphere. The large parking lot is a plus, but I still sneak before lunch or after one for lunch and at five for dinner. Or you might have waited.

Not sure what's going on lately with this place, but I had three mediocre meals here in a row. The first was on Easter, which I reserved far before the time for my family. We had very slow service, and our food was bad and lukewarm plated. We went back to lunch a few weeks later. I stopped going for a while, but was late home last night and decided to stop. I sat at the bar and the bar staff offered EXCELLENT service. However, the food came out as if it was thrown together and rushed, and the Brisket Burger and Pommes were quite cold. Like it was. I remember when the retreat was known to be a high class, a sought-after institution. And we used to come as a family to the retreat for certain holidays, because it was previously guaranteed that our meals and experiences will be top notch. But not sure what happened, but the experience and food quality is simply no longer there. And this is unacceptable for the price. I'm sorry, but I don't want to come back soon. Hopefully things are found out because I loved this place!

Very disappointed. We've been here for many years, but this trip was a total waste. The app sampler was tasteless. The burger was burned and the bungalow was stale. It also came to be devastated to scrape off the point they needed. The side salad was drowned with dressing and soggy and exaggerated. We also ordered the seafood neptune swimming in a tasteless sauce, very little seafood, and the seafood that was in the dish had a strange gritty texture. The waitress was nice, but the hostess seemed to be confused, why we waited to sit from the waiting for a place sign. That's all. Really not worth the time or money. Would encourage someone to find another place for dinner.

The retreat has indoor and outdoor bars and dining areas. We chose to eat outdoors because Covid still survived in New York. Dinner with a selection of salad or soup. The salad, with a thousand Iceland dressing, was excellent after removing the tasteless, lye-hardened black olive slices. The seafood chowder was also excellent our meals at a good start. I ordered sour roasts because I had read in a review that the restaurant was known for this classic German dish. Dinner with sides was so big that it had to be served on two separate dishes. Sauerbs and infusions with engraving on one, and the red cabbage, apple sauce, 2 potato pancakes and one side of the sour cream on the second. Unfortunately, it did not live until the Sauerbraten, which I had on various occasions at the Danzers German Restaurant on Ainsley Drive. The meat was not cooked long and slow to tender it and the sweet/sour sauce was too sweet with too little contrasting redness. On the other hand, the potato pancakes and the red cabbage were excellent, and the noodles were briefly roasted to make them crispy at the edges. Very nice. My wife had much better luck with the turkey dinner with potatoes, filling, cranberry sauce, squash and gravy. (also served on two plates), with enough remains for a full second meal at home.

I mean where do I start We got seated and waited for like 20 min to get our nice waitress the order she was nice I give her that ?. But then wait again for another 15 to 20 min for the food ? Appetizer was oily and let?s get to my dinner I mean this is the worst chicken parm I have had in my whole entire life ? no constancy. I mean I wouldn?t suggest anyone going there ?. The one star for the waitress because she was working hard but please do yourself a favor and run as fas r as you can

Great place food was amazing, service was excellent, atmosphere was cozy,warm,and fun Highly recommend

Didn?t get blue cheese with my wing order and then when I called it was less than par service also and I gave a $5 tip for what?? My hard earned money down the tubes!! It?s not like wings are cheap either and it?s even advertised on your menu that your homemade blue cheese comes with it. Oh well I?ll just move on to next restaurant
