Second time here at this quaint, charming place in just over a month. This time for lunch.

They were like a well-oiled machine and from ordering to payment didn't take long. I had a Mardi Gras sandwich, one of the daily specials. Peppered turkey, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and banana peppers on a hard roll. I opted for horseradish mayo instead of regular mayo for the added kick. A well-made concoction. For $9 (plus CT meal tax), a very good value. Add a Foxon diet birch beer for $3, and this was one happy camper. Outdoor and (limited) indoor seating.

When we went on a Saturday in the summer, they had goats in a fenced in area. The kids and adults enjoyed petting them. There were other barn animals too. They setup a gazebo and some tables outside. There was an outdoor bar and food truck. They also offer their food onsite too. The inside area was also really nice, clean, and cozy. There was a bar and tables as well. The beers I've tried were pretty good too. It's definitely a nice spot to relax and drink some brews.

The fresh wood, the fireplace, the high ceilings, and being able to sit on a couch or a high top were just some of the things I loved! Soon they will have two open bars instead of just one. They have a lot of choices for drinks. They also have some food choices. The fries and cheese sauce were really good. It's a perfect place for a date or to meet up with some friends. During the summer they have food trucks, corn hole, biking and hiking trails. You can also snowshoe during the winter.

Explorations is where I went to High School. Looking back almost 10 years later, I treasure my…read moreexperiences there. Some background- Explorations is a charter school that focuses on non-traditional, experiential education. It's a public school that functions like a private school, but has the minuscule budget if a small public school. Kids from all over the state can go there, but a certain percentage of students have to be from the immediate area. When I was enrolled, we had classes four days a week, M-Th. Fridays were split into outdoor adventure and internships and students would alternate between the two every other Friday. I had two internships. One of them was at a doggie day care place. It's ironic where I worked as the owner resembled Michael Myers from the Halloween movies. Currently, he's in jail as police found a sex slave in his house. The other internship was at an automotive painting firm. Outdoor adventure is what we did the Fridays when we didn't have internships. As far as activities... I crawled into a bat cave in Salisbury-it was wet, muddy, full of bats and friggin awesome! I went hiking up CT's tallest peak I belayed and climbed rocks I shared secrets in a sweat lodge and ate freshly killed beef from a student's farm I shot my teachers with guns...paintball guns (don't get any funny ideas). I did that and soooo much more! Academically, compared to a normal high school, the homework load is lighter. You're on a first name basis with your teachers. They're approachable and easy to talk to. Besides a few social stereotypes like the stoners, punks, hippies and those soon to drop out, the school is pretty much devoid of typical stereotypical high school kids. Basically, you're free to be yourself without having to worry about how your perceived. There are no bullies either. When I went there, the school had taken over an old bank. That was our school. Classes were in the basement and the offices were in the vault. In the middle of winter, the landlord elected not to renew our lease. We had class in a park pavilion in the dead of winter in the northeast corner of CT. Somehow I got through it, but damn, it was cold. We were spared by NWCC who saw our plight and gave us an old building to use for the remainder the year. The next year we got our building, which is the current location of the school. My class had 16 people in it and when I was a student, the entire student body had 72 kids. I loved my non-stereotypical high school. I got to go rock climbing across from Mt. Washington, experience the cold and a douchbag landlord and the generosity of the local community college. I had amazing teachers- many of whim I still talk to outside of school. They truly made my experience great and I'd consider them friends. Also, I still talk to my classmates and try to stay in touch. I made friends who will hopefully last a lifetime. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. Explorations was a great experience and if you want a high school like no other, I encourage you to check it out. It's a one if a kind school :) Peace|

We have visited this theater several times and found the food and service good. However, both of…read morethese times the theater was mostly empty with 6 or 8 guests so it was pretty easy to get good service. Tonight the theater was almost full, and the service was terrible. The staff had no idea what was going on or how to serve a large crowd. It was complete chaos in the theater, and no one had any idea what order the guests had arrived in. After sitting for 30 minutes with no acknowledge from the staff while we witnessed 15 others who arrived after us being given menus, then drinks, and some already receiving their dinner orders, we decided to leave. The manager was contacted to refund our ticket price. He agreed but seemed unconcerned about what was going on upstairs in the theater. Cannot recommend Gilson's unless you can find a time when no one else is visiting.
