Nice ambiance in the first level of a house, but apparently understaffed ( guess this is a common theme in Elkins)...waited about 5-10 minutes to be greeted until my husband went directly to a server. Eventually seated. Hubby enjoyed his food: a spicy shrimp soup and chicken empanadas. My food was just ok; an acorn squash soup that was a bit bland and one of their specials, sweet and spicy Thai with chicken: chicken overcooked, not too much of it, and prepared in corn/cheese (?), which I wasn't expecting. Rice was rather bland, too. Server was friendly, but not very attentive. Probably because she was back and forth to the back room where there's a bar and a DJ ( at lest when we were there last night). The 2 glasses of sangria were good, and the total bill came to about $52 without tip. This could have been such a better experience; management take notice regarding staffing but maybe that's a continuation of a bad trend...

I was very happy to get to try El Gran Sabor during my ski trip to Elkins; I almost missed my…read morechance since they are only open Wednesday through Saturday. I did manage to get there on Saturday just as they opened for dinner. El Gran Sabor is located in a converted vintage home; there is a small bar area and a medium sized dining room. The decor is comfortable and homey. Service was good and the menu pulls from both Mexican and Venezuelan cuisine which sounded like a great idea after a hard day of skiing. I ended up ordering the Shrimp Cachapa since I had not had this item before. This is a corn pancake topped with shrimp, vegies and cheese sided with rice and beans. A very tasty dish and just the kind of balanced meal to have after a day of exercising; also an item I have not seen on other menus before so I always like to try new things. I also really enjoyed the cup of spicy shrimp soup that came with the meal, rich shrimp flavor with a nice hit of spice warmed me to the core and got the meal off to a great start. I would strongly recommend El Gran Sabor if you are looking for a meal in Elkins, this was far and away the best meal I had during my visit and I would head back if I were in the area again. Definitely the culinary highlight of my vacation.

My sister and I spent our youth living in Beverly and I've been fond of the history and the people.

I'm a big glass aficionado, but usually in a much different way. Our fam' is from Buffalo NY, and a…read morefavorite hobby of mine is treasure hunting for beach glass on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Walking into the Museum of American Glass during our recent holiday road trip to WV, my initial reaction was--"THROW IT ALL IN THE LAKE!!" :-O :-P ;-) But of course, not really, hahaha. That would be a tragedy, as this museum is FULL of SO MUCH beautiful glass!! It is free admission to explore the many aisles of absolutely gorgeous, intricate glass pieces, some of which were manufactured right there in Weston WV. Case after case after case showcases different glass producers. You'll see many usable pieces like dishes, teacups, vases, and pitchers. Then there are tons of purely decorative pieces too, glass statues in all colors, shapes and sizes. I ADORE cobalt blue glass (I used thrifted pieces I found to decorate our wedding centerpieces, I LOVE IT so much!), and there were several cases dedicated to my favorite blue hue. I was also particularly fond of the case of two-piece glass hen-shaped covered dishes in a rainbow of colors, some swirled milk glass. There are also displays about the glass manufacturing process itself. In the back there is some of the machinery used, as well as giant hunks of raw slag glass. I had to drop to my knees to hug one of those big bad boys, as if I ever found anything like that in the lake I would keel over! :-O One other absolutely INCREDIBLE piece on display is a HUGE glass dollhouse. Well, a HUGE glass doll MANSION!! It is really an amazing piece of art, from the unbelievable glass house itself, to the fully staged inside with furniture pieces meticulously placed and styled. Taking zoomed-in photos of the rooms of the house, it almost looks like a real house, the miniature pieces are so true-to-life in their design! The museum also has a gift shop that consists of a large assortment of glass pieces for sale. There were so many lovely items in the gift shop, it is like another display area of the museum in and of itself! My teen daughter, also a glass lover, purchased a beautiful red glass teacup and saucer for herself, and a red glass votive candle holder. I bought a beautiful mint green two-piece bunny dish, a gorgeous bubblegum pink pedestal foot bowl, and a gift for my parents, a teal glass insulator. The bunny now resides in my grandmother's shadow box. The pink glass bowl is filled with walnuts on my dining room table, and my parents loved their insulator. They are also glass hunters, and much of the teal glass that comes out of the lakes is from blown insulators. WOW, what an absolute TREAT it was stumbling on the Museum of American Glass in adorable Weston WV on our road trip. The town itself is super cute, with a nice coffee shop (The Coffee House), other cute shopping (check out Appalachian Oddities!), a few eateries, plus a huge historical asylum that has ghost tours, if you are into that sort of thing. I LOVED exploring the Museum of American Glass, and if I ever find myself back in Weston, I would definitely stop in again, so much to see SPARKLE and SHINE! :-D

They were also making fresh brick oven pizzas although we did not have any they looked good. There is a chapel-like building right there that was set up for a wedding that afternoon and it was very cute with black painted corrugated ceiling and stained glass windows. There are also cabins on-site which would probably be good for the wedding party although they didn't look too great and built a little jenky. The tasting room was small and cozy with stone walls and beams all around. There was one person working the tasting room and it was crowded but she was pleasant and efficient and we didn't have to wait too long in between pours. The wine isn't great and they don't grow their own grapes but outsource them from California, New York and other areas. They do have a nice Niagara wine (obviously from NY) and the BlackBerry Merlot was pretty good too. We bought a bottle of each of those but the others were just meh or yuck. (A few even had a vinegar taste to them). But it's a cute winery and I still recommend a visit. There were 5 in our group and after our tasting we each got a glass to enjoy on the covered patio while listening to the music piped into the outdoor speakers (current music from 70s to now but nothing obnoxious). Tasting was super cheap at only $5. It's worth a visit.
