What a disappointment!
I had recently toured Stonewall Resort with my Hospitality Class and was under the impression Lightburn's was a premier restaurant of top quality and I was really looking forward to eating there. We had been traveling all day and were hoping we were dressed appropriately to get in, that's how high my expectations were. We were relieved to see young people entering wearing cargo shorts and ball caps. We opted to sit on the porch. The view is lovely.
My disillusionment started right away. This is a four-star resort! The first thing I noticed was a hole in my napkin. There was a chip in the "salt" shaker. I say "salt" shaker because both shakers had pepper in them. We ordered bruschetta. The bread was cold. I ordered a rib-eye with rice and a "premium side" of goat cheese grits because it sounded good. The rib-eye was almost indistinguishable from a frozen dinner salisbury steak. The rice may have been Uncle Ben's "boil in the bag". It was completely unseasoned. The waitress forgot the goat cheese grits, but when she brought them out, they had been microwaved to the point they were too hot to eat and didn't cool down until I was done with the rest of my food. They were hard and dry and gummy - if that's possible. Over all one of the worst meals I have ever eaten.
The waitress was sloppy. I don't mind a person being overweight, I'm overweight myself, but wear clothes that fit and are appropriate. Hip huggers are for thin people - it's that simple.
The high point: A thunderstorm came over the mountain and put on a great lightning show, followed by a rainbow.
