This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I were just in Farmington for a cozy little weekend…read moregetaway, and on our last night we came here because it was less than 30 minutes away. They were very busy and we didn't have a reservation, we were seated outside because that's all they had left - we were perfectly okay and happy with this. Our server was very sweet and attentive, I wish I could remember her name! Outside was beautiful and there were fresh flowers everywhere, the food was yummy and the overall vibes were super romantic. We will be back if we're ever nearby again for sure. Also, the food was DELICIOUS. And the blueberry margarita was so refreshing and tasty!

We loved her. The food, though, was just... fine. I'm a big pasta and sauce person, and while everything was perfectly decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype we'd heard going in. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. My espresso martini was good, but nothing special. That said, the building itself is charming and a little eccentric in a good way. I can definitely see how the experience would be elevated in warmer weather--sitting out on the patio overlooking the river would be a big plus. Overall, a good night thanks to great service and atmosphere, but the food didn't quite wow us.

The drinks are good, food has always been hot and fresh. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. They interact with the customers and each other far beyond "what can I get you" and co-workers. They always seem to genuinely be happy that they're there. I don't think I'll ever not recommend this place. We go here often! PS- in addition to all of that, they're wonderful to the community. They donate time, food, gift certificates, etc. and many of our local youth sports teams have their team parties here.

The person taking my order was operating on another level, taking all the orders as best they could and managing the phone on top of all of that. They were nice when I ordered. They give you a buzzer for your order, which is nice. I decided to go with the mushroom and Swiss burger with bacon. Unfortunately, they forgot the bacon I paid for. Burger was good, meat juicy, fresh tomato & lettuce, and the cheese was so cooked it was crunchy. The mushrooms were cooked well. I can't have too much sugar, so I skipped the ice cream. Parking seems to get tight when it gets super busy. I might have given 5 starts, but since I paid for bacon on my burger and didn't get bacon, 4 stars. I'll definitely give this place another try.

The Good: *More than just ice creams, as they also have lobstah rolls, fries, and glizzies! Didn't try so can't comment but the pics look good. *Great selection of ice cream flavors, as well as yummy soft serve. *I don't recall the prices, but I remember it being very inexpensive. However, please note we're from the SF Bay Area, so everything seems cheap to us fml *Fantastic outdoor picnic areas to eat and look at the beautiful lake. The Meh: *Service was a bit aloof, but we were there at the end of the shift, so probably just the end of the day grumps. Regardless, it was fine. *No waffle cones, just standard cake cones. :( *Cash only The Ugly: *Like many businesses here in Rangeley they're only open seasonally from May - Octoberish (check their FB page for updates) Conclusion: A damn fine place to get your ice creams and a view. Highly recommended.
