    The rating of fair was based on the true service provided when making a reservation. I called to ask what time dinner would be served we were told 4 PM. We arrived at 10 minutes before four and we were told that dinner was not served until five and you cannot order until 445 we had someone drive all the way from the Pearland area to meet us at dinner at four based on what the restaurant staff told us at that point we sat and ordered appetizers Which we would not done at dinner. to Take some time and wait until we were able to order from the dinner menu then we ordered our meal and dessert. The manager thanked us for staying, but never suggested comping an appetizer or anything based on the fact that we stayed and the manager even told us they have been having the same issue for 10 months with their personnel telling individuals that dinner started at 4. this was their issue not ours and the last comment Our reservation was marked that we were celebrating a birthday. There was no complementary dessert offered to the birthday person so my fair is based on Service. 
    Back Table Kitchen & BarResponded on April 8, 2025
    Hi Magee, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication regarding the dinner time and for the inconvenience this caused, especially for the guest traveling from Pearland. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive expecting dinner at 4 PM, only to be told otherwise. We also regret that we did not offer a complimentary dessert for the birthday celebration—it’s certainly something we strive to provide to make special occasions more memorable. We will be addressing your concerns with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We truly value your feedback and hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide a more seamless and enjoyable experience in the future!

    We had a wonderful dinner. We were warmly greeted by Christy, who thoughtfully sat us at her favorite table. There was live music at the bar. She played the piano & has a beautiful voice - I didn’t catch her name but she was great. The music was not too loud for dinner & was a perfect addition to the evening. The Brussel Sprouts & Artichoke dip & chips are delicious. The bar manager answered questions about the custom barrel whiskey. We enjoyed the unique & very tasty spirits. The service was fantastic & we will absolutely be visiting again.

    Hi Candice, We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience! We look forward to seeing you back!

    Overall the service was great the atmosphere was nice but sadly the food not so good. It wasn’t bad per se but it lacked flavor and was very bland. Plus for the cost of the NYE dinner “experience” it left a lot to desire. I don’t think I would come back to this restaurant
    Back Table Kitchen & BarResponded on January 1, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the service and atmosphere, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Victor!

    Resort was great..... Unfortunately my wife and I both had the worse experience we've ever had at a restaurant. We both dine out a couple of times a week for work or person. I reference this because that will tell you we've had a few bad experiences along the way. But this place was REALLY BAD!!! Very unfortunate for such a nice resort.

    We wanted to sit by a window and the unpleasant receptionist chastised me for not not specifying my preference in my reservation. She wouldn’t seat us there. We had our 4 course dinner and the window seats were empty throughout the time we were there. She could have seated us and still lead the seats for those who did reserve them. She was so unfriendly.
    Back Table Kitchen & BarResponded on October 18, 2024

If you recall who the host was that seated you, it would be helpful for us to address your feedback directly and ensure this doesn’t happen again. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere, and we appreciate your insights as we work to improve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future.
