We went downstairs to the Storyteller's Cafe for a light dinner, or at least it was supposed to be light! Our server was great, Tim. We each had an iced tea ($2.25). I ordered the Corn Chowder ($5.75) which was excellent!!! The hotel tour guide said they were known for it, so I ordered it based on that recommendation. It had smoked ham, turkey, corn and potatoes, with a hint of cilantro. I also ordered the Farmer's Market Field Greens ($7.25) with baby mixed greens, sliced pear, pecans, and blue cheese in a vinaigarette, which was also excellent. (I could have stopped after the chowder, but had already ordered the salad, which I enjoyed anyway!) Aaron ordered the ribs whic he really liked ($19.95). It had about 6 pieces of ribs, fries, and green beans with red pepper and artichoke. The bread was great too, 2 typs. One like a cornbread muffin, and a loaf of white bread which was excellent, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Total without tip, $41.34. Definitely recommend!!! This restaurant also has a lot of detail in it, making it even more interesting.
(Edit) I forgot to mention that they also have a dinner buffet, but we didn't feel like having that much food. I didn't think to look at it until we were leaving, which was pretty late, and they had taken most of the food away. What was there looked good though, and if our dinner and breakfast here were any indication, my guess is the buffet would've been a good choice too.
