    We were surprised that there was no wait for a table on Friday night Labor Day weekend and were seated upstairs. A very charming and rustic place with wood beams and surfaces everywhere also makes for lousy acoustics- the place is quite loud. The menu is large and varied with apps, soups, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, pizza, burgers and entrees. We anticipated both a long wait and probably short staffing but the service here was beyond slow. Our server couldn't have been nicer, but she was being asked to cover way too many tables and was working as fast as is humanly possible. We waited 15 minutes for anyone to stop by after being seated and had more long waits for every aspect of the meal. The panko crusted haddock was good and a large portion. The seafood fra diablo was also plentiful; the lobster was tasty, but the scallops were undercooked. We expected slow service and were very patient throughout, but finally, my patience ran out after the many delays including waiting for more than 20 minutes to receive the check. What's the point of eating out if you leave upset? Note to restaurant manager- you're better off limiting seating when short staffed rather than overwhelming your staff and kitchen and aggravating your customers.

    Food here was amazing and so was the staff. The french onion soup was top notch and I always get that from anywhere that has it. The inside of the barn was cool and I liked the little booth they had us in. We came hungry and left quite happy. I would recommend to anyone and come back any day!

    Ellacoya was amazing! There are two parking lots on either side of the barn. The barn aspect was so cute and really nice. We waited about 30 minutes for a table which was completely worth it. We checked out the little store next to it and it was also so cute. Like a little general store with booze, snacks, jewelry, a deli, etc. There is so much seating available - bar, downstairs, upstairs, and a little outdoor patio (although it was not open). They can accommodate large parties and only take reservations with parties of 6 or more. We sat upstairs and it was so cute. All wooden and twinkle lights but tasteful. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The drinks took a little long to come out but there was only one bartender so it was understandable. The drinks were great. We tried the Ellacoya classic, bees knees, and a Crown and coke. The food was outstanding. We got bruschetta as an appetizer. I am obsessed with bruschetta and this was hands down the best I ever had. My boyfriend got the steak tips with mash and vegetables. I had the garlic Parmesan chicken with Parmesan risotto and truffle fries. Talk about indulgence. I only ate about half because the portion was great and I got leftovers out of it. The prices were fair especially considering portion size. The service was great overall and I would definitely come back!!

    Live music

    All the food was amazing, but definitely come here for the atmosphere. Wonderful lighting and a cozy homemade type feel. Live music in a living room style central area. Friendly staff, definitely a must go when visiting Gilford or Gunstock.

    Salmon

    Great place. One of my favorites in the area. Server Olivia was very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed our meals in this converted barn, plus there was live music as well. The salmon was particularly good. Will be back. One thing to be aware of is to ask for a first floor table if someone in your group can't climb stairs to the second floor. Excellent.

    Haven't been in a few years pre-Covid, unfortunately the service to get the food to the table took soo long and it wasn't rush hour, showed up at 1:45. We had the seafood platter no scallops sub for more shrimp. That dish was good. Others on the other hand weren't so pleased with the pizza or salad.

    The pizza is excellent but when you order toppings they are barely visible. When you pay extra for toppings put them on please!

    Not very good. Just passable service and food that is not very good. The reviewers 85 characters so this should do it.

    Axe & Ale was super fun. We were in the area for a concert and it had good ratings and was nearby…read moreso we went to check it out. We only went for dinner and drinks but they also have axe throwing! There is a private parking lot. It's in a plaza type place. There is a ton of seating inside - bar, tables, booths. We ended up sitting at the bar and got to sit right away. The bartender who waited on us was great. Very chatty and social and made sure we had everything we needed. My boyfriend drank beers on tap and I had my classic Tito's and pineapple. It was only $10 for my liquor drink which was a great price for the size. It was made very well. All the food we had was fantastic. It took a little while to come out but was so worth the wait. I got a Cesar salad and truffle Parmesan fries. My boyfriend got the spicy pepperoni pizza which was delicious. It had pepperoni, red pepper flakes, hot honey, and ricotta. Mouthwatering. My Cesar salad was perfect and the fries were to die for. I love a good truffle parm combo. Everything about our experience was positive except for the bartender constantly talking to her friends who came to sit at the bar which caused our level of service to decrease, which is the only reason I took away a star. She seemed frazzled and I did have to repeat my orders a few times. Otherwise, it was a great night of food and drinks. The bathrooms are not gender neutral but are handicap accessible, as is the restaurant. I would definitely come back.

    The poutine is weird and doesn't look right. Too wet. I feel like it needs to be a thicker sauce…read more The chunks of meat were insanely huge. I had simply asked for the cheese and sauce to be put on the noodles only instead of on the chicken because I don't want my chicken to be soggy. And they Didn't put any cheese and sauce on my plate at all! It's literally chicken Parmesan why wouldn't they put Parmesan on my food? One good thing was The chicken was crunchy. Couldn't even eat many of my noodles. There wasn't enough sauce.

This "fancy-like" rustic biker bar & restaurant offers a streamlined food menu featuring pub fare and BBQ options, including St. Louis Slow Smoked Ribs, Smoked Chicken. Pulled Pork, handhelds, burgers, chicken tenders, smoked wings, appetizers, and chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. The prices seem fair, given the popular destination for bikers and tourists. The place is actually not so "fancy" which red painted walls with guitars and black flooring (front section) & hardwood flooring (upper back section) with table seating, high top tables, and seating up at the bar which has flatscreen TVs, but minimal stocked shelves (at the time of visit) at the bar. I stopped by for takeout on a rainy summer night and was able to easily find on-street pay parking near the front of this business, which is harder to find on a nice weather weekend day. The place was empty compared to its other bar next door, which was very busy. I decided to order takeout and ordered The Fancy ($16) handheld served with fries. My order was boxed and ready to go in 10 minutes. The thick sandwich had tender pieces of slow roasted pulled pork topped with a smoky sweet BBQ sauce on a toasted brioche bun, served with thick golden crinkle fries and a cup of creamy slaw. This takeout meal was pretty solid good and filling. I would definitely stop by again during my next trip to the Weirs.
