Reviews of The Main Dining Room at The Greenbrier (Restaurant)

Personally disappointing--food and service. I ordered a Caesar salad that was parmesan and lettuce, they forgot the dressing. I sent that back and waited. Was charged for it (of course). Next was a crab cake that was straight out of the can. I realize it's WV and you don't go there for the seafood. That said I've had better crab cakes in WI. And lets face it, they are a state away from the Chesapeake. If they cared, which they don't, they would make a proper crab cake. This one was about twice the size of an Oreo for $20. The entrée was a rabbit ragout. There was at most 0.25 ounces of meat in this dish. Literally 2 - 3 tiny shreds. I effectively paid $40 for a well seasoned bowl of noodles. Then the service. Water never refilled, never an inquiry into how the food was at any point. But they did add the 20% gratuity which means that wait staff have little incentive to care coupled with the fact they have a captive audience at the resort. Finally the pretense with the dress code of jacket and tie.That's fine but please back up the ask with service and food worthy of it.

Breakfast buffet is the only reason they are receiving a positive review. It was excellent. Dinner was lackluster. The lack of sauces, and technique. Was disappointing.
