We recently stayed at the Red Fern Inn, in the Kelly's Island suite. We had a wonderful stay,…read moreand I can't say enough about the staff, the amenities and the comfortable vibe of the Inn. The decor is so interesting and tasteful, perfect for the area. The kitchen was equipped with full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove/oven and all the other items you could need. We had two children with us, so it was great to have a fully stocked kitchen. Bonus - they have a winery on the property, Rocky Point Winery. It was so fun and convenient to be able to go downstairs and order a glass of wine (beer/mixed drink), enjoy a tasty snack and sit at the lovely patio and garden areas. It has a nice selection of gifts to purchase at the winery as well. As I mentioned, the owner and staff were so accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend the Red Fern Inn for your next stay up at the "islands".

I was hoping for something warm and fresh made, but it was truly just store bought bread with oil in a dish. Then for my main I ordered the smash burger. A smash patty with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheddar cheese. It was good, nothing fancy. It also came with a side of the house chips. Wine was fine but again nothing extravagant. For me, the highlight was their large selection of wines from other wineries, both imported and local. Currently rated 6.5 on my Beli, hit it or don't.

The vibe was a bit different than what I was expecting as we were expecting a traditional vineyard but that was not really the case. It was more casual then expected. The place is fairly big and the night we went they had live music in the entrance area. They had a patio but limited seating and most of it was covered and half uncovered. The service was very slow. We ordered wine flights as well as bruschetta and bread/oil. It took a very long time to come out and had to go find our waiter to ask about the wait as we were a large party. The waiter was super apologetic and kind and gave complimentary chips and a cake slice which was nice. The limoncello cake slice tasted a bit artificial but I appreciated the waiter giving it to us, but would not order it again off the menu. The wine was delicious so I would say to go for the wine if you go for anything. The food was simple and basic but nothing to complain about as we just got bread/oil as well as bruschetta. It feels simple and a bit thrown together however, the pizzas that were coming out did look very good so I would try to opt for one of those. The shareables were a decent size for the price and I can appreciate them not charging a super high amount for shareables as some wineries do. Overall, Firelands Winery was a good experience and I would come back for the wine and maybe some live music if I am in the area.

Great atmosphere and scenic location, but that's about all I can say positive…read more Very limited wine selection, I like reds, they offered 2. One sweet, which I don't care for sweet wines, the second, which I chose was lacking flavor. No body to the wine. Very disappointing. My wife tried 2 whites, she didn't care for either. They did not have a chardonnay or anything close. The traditional cheese tray was obviously pre- cubed cheeses, some plain soda crackers and a half a peach. I asked about getting a half order or the "gourmet " cheese tray but the server said they don't offer it because everything is pre-proportioned, which leads me to believe it's from Costco or the like. All in all pretty disappointing. Ww love stopping at wineries but unless friends want to go, ill avoid this one. We have frequented the orchard store for decades but even that has gotten so expensive we have cut back.

With a vineyard, fruit tree orchard, full kitchen, gift shop and the most excellent donut truck, this place rocks! The main attraction is a beautifully decorated chalet. Did a flight of every wine they had. Ended up loving three of them, including the Chardonnay, Bourbon Barrel Aged Apple wine, and the Pinnacle Rrd. Got a bottle of Chardonnay for the table and took the other two home. Service was crazy good. Brooke was attentive, quick, and had the nicest smile you've ever seen. She should be on the silver screen! Super friendly, the manager, I think her name was Emily, sat down at our table and exquisitely described each wine while we sampled the precious nectars. The owner also stopped by and explained how he's the third generation of Scottish immigrants growing up on the land we sit on, where his great great grandfather planted the pear trees still producing fruit today. Seeing that this was Mother's Day, they went over the top with a free bouquet of flowers for the moms in our family. Tried the donuts and thought I was going to heaven. Can't wait to stumble across this place again!

They have umbrellas to shade you from the sun which we really needed the day we were there! They have a host at the front to bring you to your seat/table and then the wait staff come to take your order. I had a flight which come with your choice of three wines. I had three of their dry reds and they were all pretty tasty - the Eagles Eryie being my favorite. They have a little store inside where you can buy wine to go and other wine related things. They are also a dog friendly place which was good because I had my pup with me that day!

Sure you can't rate a wine based on its flight presentation but if you did this one would win hands down.

Very comfortable outdoor seating with Adirondack chairs. Enjoyable relaxing venue. Owners were personable and walked around and checked on all of the guests. Even complimentary Hershey kisses!

On a recent drive-through Toledo I found this interesting little winery/restaurant and the menu definitely deserved me and my group paying a visit. My steak was the first to arrive at the table and I have to admit I had trouble identifying what was on top. Was it fresh mozzarella??? Nope. It was several slices of cool, unmelted horseradish herb butter - which sounded great as described on the menu - but was executed poorly. Every bite of steak was like simultaneously taking a bite off of a stick of butter right out of the fridge. The fries were also just meh. It wasn't all bad, though. The Bee.L.T., I must admit, looked amazing! Two people at my table ordered it, and I secretly hoped they would offer to share it with me. It was also beautifully presented. An other person at my table ordered the mushroom miso stroganoff which also looked amazing and which she described as "delightful." The restaurant itself was beautiful, including the outdoor seating and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Taking into account all the good and all the bad, this was a solid three star experience. I would definitely go back, though, to give them another chance.
