This is a great place to visit for a Saturday or Sunday lunch . The view is beautiful and you can walk it off afterwards around the gardens and see dozens of Peacocks walking freely around.

Beautiful but pricey at $10 per person. The video about the history was interesting & worth it.

A great destressing getaway on a sunny day. Drive around, walk around, or just have a picnic. Dog friendly (leashed). - Jamie Jolet
You must try their dish Seafood Heaven - it's full of lump crab, crawfish, and shrimp. The view is amazing. Great food and excellent views of the lake & gardens!!! - Ruth Collins
