The Turkey pesto sandwich was very oregano forward. It was tasty but I personally prefer a basil base pesto. She had the Say cheese sandwich which she stated was wonderful, cheesy and perfect. We both had the lobster bisque for our soup. It was flavorful, creamy and the perfect temp for sipping and dipping. I had a Chai tea (one of many available). I prefer a stronger spice and a little burn (ginger). It was a nice compliment to my meal. The pot for one provider 3 1/2 cups of tea. She had a sweet white wine, we did not ask if it were a Riesling or other, it was nice and went well with her meal. The only downfall which is only a big deal to me and maybe a few is styrofoam to go containers.

There was no warm welcome and we wait several minutes to even be serviced. Overall the food for the price we paid was abysmal. The lasagna looked grotesque with pasta slices slapped with ground beef and crushed tomatoes from a can with no salt, no garlic and no taste. The pizza I had ordered the crust wasnt even cooked all the way through. I ordered the beet salad and it was pathetic looking for $12. Our waitress seemed preoccupied with other tables and it seemed we were given poor service because we weren't locals or werent dressed in our Sunday best.. I would not recommend this place due to poor service and low quality food.

Hard to think of anything but nice things to say about this fine establishment…read more The libations menu was extraordinary and the old fashion spinoff with elements of chocolate (with a fanciful name which I cannot recall) was smoky and delicious. The mussels were generously portioned, and paired well with the complimentary freshly baked bread. The bread also came with olive oil, but we wound up dipping it in the mussel butter juice because we couldn't get enough. For entrees, we ordered the Grilled Beef Bistro Tenders Bowl & the House Salad topped with salmon - each artisanly crafted and mouthwateringly delicious. On top of it all, the service was outstanding. A kind young lady whom I believe was the owner of the restaurant was personally attentive to all the tables. Although I'm sure the dessert would have been indulgent, we decided to go to the similarly charming C&C Frozen Treats a few doors down for a scoop of Front Royal's best ice cream!

Keep in mind - there's nothing else close by for dining, so if they're not accepting guests, your best bet is a wheel of cheese next door - if they're open.

Just FYI the menu does change each season so the food you see in the reviews may be different depending on when you go. The service was excellent. We had multiple people helping us and always asking if we needed anything as they would walk by.

The Ambiance was nice as you can see in the pic. Nice lighting, music and the chandeliers were gorgeous. I definitely recommend you try it out.
