   We were very disappointed with our experience at wildflowers. We had a 7 pm reservation on 2/21 and were seated around 7:20 in the front room. We were fine with the wait as we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the Lodge bar area while we waited. We ordered several drinks, starters, salads, entries, and dessert. Service started out strong and we were impressed, but quickly deteriorated as it seemed like we were the only table our waitress had in the front of the restaurant and we felt like very much of an afterthought (stopped pouring my husbands beers in glasses, didn’t explain dishes, just kind of dumped the extras from the chef on us instead of explaining them as the other waiter did, etc.). There was a different waiter and manger that serviced all of the other tables in the front area that seemed attentive, got courses out quickly, and explained the food options and extras. Many tables came and went as we waited to see our server. It took almost 3 hours to complete our dinner with me having to practically beg my husband to stay for desert, which ended up being delicious by the way, as after 2 + hours with minimal service he was getting agitated. The food was amazing but for almost $400 for two people, plus tip, we felt like there was something to be desired when it came to service. We have had multiple fine dining experiences but this was by far the worse service we have experienced.

   Lovely wait staff. So professional, yet friendly. Their timing was perfect with food delivery and checking on us at the table.

   We had breakfast at Wildflowers on Sunday morning. The food was excellent. The service, not so much. Our server was very friendly and pleasant, however, I think she was overwhelmed - had too many tables to attend to. The hostess put us at a booth to the side and it seemed like we were in no man's land. There were 3 hosts wandering around, but only one waitress. And none of them attended to us unless we could catch their eye and flag them down. It took forever to get our food and we had to ask for coffee twice and still never got it until the end of our meal. Thinking they need less hosts and more servers. I would return for the food, but insist on a regular table, not a booth where no one pays attention to you. I just hope they improve the service level.

   The food was amazing for my first time going. Our server was amazing and tested us like people not a number. The manager came over and asked how things were. Loved every minute of the experience.

   Drastically different level of service and quality from a few years ago, not sure what happened but wasn’t nearly worth the price!

    My girlfriends and I stayed at Turning Stone and went to wildflowers. We had an amazing meal and experience. We were there over two hours but it was an entire experience from drinks to apps, to fresh bread to a palate cleanser to an amazing dinner, dessert and Irish coffee.
