Twilight Zone is my best description. Before we arrived Monseur called to confirm the registration. I missed the call and called him back later. I was berated for hanging up on him, which I did not do, don’t remember talking to him. But he wouldn’t let it go and would not allow a response. I just assumed it was his culture. So anyway when we arrived he greeted us at the door, when I told him who I was he immediately got an attitude and again, loudly, let me have it for hanging up on him. I tried to explain again that I was sorry and didn’t remember the call. My wife was taken aback and asked Monseur are we good or do we need to leave. He said we were good. From there we were hcompletely ignored by him the rest of the night. He made it a point to talk to the other 6 tables and sit down strangely at each one appearing to interrupt their dinner. He explained to them, very briefly,what they were eating. I asked what the soup was, the waiter said I don’t know, Monseur soup. We asked if we could buy wine from the waiter, no, either white or red, again it was called Monseur wine. My wife asked Monseur about the beans, his response was, it’s nothing, never told us what we were eating. I asked Monseur about the beef, (your choice is chicken,beef or fish and that’s it, that’s the description, no menus),he took offense and snapped back that it was tenderloin. We felt really really strange in that place. The waiter and waitress had no idea what they were serving and could not tell you, they referred you too Monseur. The Waitress knew very little English. I was trying to place Monseurs accent and asked where he was from, he again took offense, why do you want to know he said. Just curious, I said. His response was Paris France but I have lived in 111 countries that’s why my accent is different. Hmm !.Desert was delivered and I asked the waiter what it was, he said honestly I have no idea, I will have Monseur tell you, we were tired of Monseur. In a few minutes Monseur showed up, I asked about the desert, he said nothing, I said it looks like mousse, he said whatever you think and walked off. He explained it in detail to the next table, He was very rude, obviously mad about the hang up that I have no recollection of and ruined our night. We drove 45 minutes to be made an example of in front of the dining room. The food was good but not worth it, we tried to be friendly but nothing worked. This place is in the middle of nowhere, it was the Twilight Zone. He finally took our Groupon, never brought a receipt, we waited and waited, we finally just got up to leave. He came to the door and said I hope you had a good evening, which he knew he had ruined, my wife blasted him like he done to us upon arrival and told him he was a mean man.Not recommended and it appears from other reviews he has a bad attitude.
My fiance and I found the Willow Creek Inn through a friend here in Hickory. Being from another country I am always looking for new things to try here in the US. We called to make a reservation and were asked what type of food we like to eat. We chose one steak and one fish entree. The food was IMPECCABLE! Steak was prepared to the perfect temperature. Well seasoned. Rice was different, something I had never had before. After we finished our meal, Mansour, the head chef invited us to join him for one of the special events, Frank Sinatra Night. This was held in the outdoor pavilion. The area was decorated with individual candles and flowers on every table. We were greeted with a cold martini and then shown to our table. Food was incredible. I had the Osso Bucco, and she had the Seabass. BOTH were amazing. The dessert buffet was filled with many different fresh fruits and stuffed brie’s. A lady explained to me about a Persian tea that was offered, it was delicious. I know that we will continue to come to The Willow Creek Inn any chance we get!
9/10/16 Frank Sinatra event @ $110 per person (paid full rate, no coupon!): Yellow Tail wine! Eat in 90 degree heat under the outdoor pavilion! Horrible recorded music! Astonishing delays between courses! Sorbet served melted! Canned green beans with entree! A sad excuse for a meal!!! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You won’t see me again.
