Food, service (especially Brooke), ambience is always top notch. Didn’t snag a photo quick enough of the banana pudding ice cream, but it was divine!

Stayed at the resort for three nights, ate many meals at Hickory. Each one was full of delicious food, tasty drinks, and exceptional service. Despite the high ceilings and the openness of the space, it never felt anything but cozy. The mood was always welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, prepared well, and the portions were generous. There were some creative dishes and some old favorites done very well. Whether it’s a date night thing or you’re staying at the resort, you should definitely eat at Hickory.

We dined for brunch with my parents. Our waiter was Drew and he made the whole experience. Anyone would come back, just for him even if the food had been terrible, but it wasn’t. The food was fantastic, it was quiet but relaxed and we can’t wait to go back.

We arrived at 4 for dinner and was not inforhat the dinner menu is not available until 5. This was not communicated on the reservation site. Food, location and servic were superb. When they realized we had to wait an hour over small bites and cocktails, they did a great job making the time go by. Even a free teay of oysters

My reservation was not honored by the restaurant. We arrived at the front entrance of the resort and were told lunch wasn't being served on weekdays anymore. No one contacted me prior to our arrival that this change had been made. I contacted the hotel through their website about this and never received a reply. Very disappointed in the way this was handled.
