We came here for lunch today and were not disappointed. Everything is done with care down to the last detail. These folks know their stuff and it is a small and romantic Wine Bar and shop.

However, the wine and cheese was so good we ended up in the store and purchased another 70 bucks worth of stuff. This place is small and elegant. Bring this place your business!

I definitely owe it to this place for giving me an appreciation of oysters. The other dishes are all scrumptious too, don't sleep on the tinned fish!

I also appreciate that they're open later than many places in town, so you can get your nightcap on in sailor style.

It looked like a nice place, but we were told that we would have to have reservations and we did…read morenot have any. Meanwhile, they had completely whole empty garden patio outside with no one sitting in it. I am sure we could have ordered at least oysters for an appetizer which takes exactly 5 minutes to eat and drink some wine until some people who reserved would arrive. There were no people who were arriving either. I think that this a bad trend lately after pandemic started when restaurants ask if you have reservations and sometimes even have a reserved sign on some tables, but no one is using the table for hours. I don't know why they do this thing. Maybe to look busy and unaccessible and don't want to take customers money. It's silly. So we don't know what the food tasted like.

We started off with drinks - I got the seasonal appletini and my boyfriend got a gin. I got the seasonal beet salad which was very good.

Normally he salts all his food and he didn't even salt his pasta dish and he said it was delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was good. Overall 5/5 Highly recommend and we will definitely make it a point to come back if we are in the area again!

Just so fascinating - their chefs can put out such tasty small plates so quickly, each packed with such fresh & exciting flavors, always cooked to perfection (never over or under cooked). Get the sangria pitchers, bar is always packed & hopping. Dining room just got a refresh, but was beautiful even before with a great atmosphere also. Our least favorite was the rabbit (way too many small bones to pick out).

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, though our table was in the middle of the aisle which felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, the service itself was inconsistent. We had to ask for bread three times. When we ordered two brownies and one coffee, we were brought one brownie and two coffees. At the end of the meal, we asked for both my meal and my son's meal to be wrapped to go. My son's plate was accidentally thrown away because other plates were stacked on top of it. When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give 3.5.

To me…read morethe success of a book store such as this one is in making you feel welcome to come in, pick a book off the shelf, and read a page or two in a cozy nook. Given they do not have a huge space, I think they had a smattering of books across various genres. The reading "corners" didn't look particularly inviting to me. Maybe that's coz I went on a very busy rainy summer Saturday afternoon. Also maybe coz I'd just been to the Shaker Mill bookstore in the morning and thought I could spend an entire afternoon (or a weekend!) wandering through the store and perusing their offerings. People working in the store were nice albeit a bit hurried and harried given the aforementioned rainy summer Saturday afternoon rush :)

Since we visited in mid-April, the cabins weren't open for the season, so we stayed in the Bear's Den--a cozy studio tucked beneath the main lodge.

Perched at the top of Florida Mountain, the setting alone is worth the visit, but it's the care and attention behind the experience that truly sets this place apart.

The space itself is small, so I'd definitely suggest calling ahead to see if they have room. There's basically no indoor waiting area, and standing by the door or outside in the winter, like we did, got uncomfortable enough that we almost left for another place, even though the wait was only about 20 minutes. Our server was friendly and tried to stay on top of things, but you could tell she was a bit overwhelmed with how busy it was and the constant flow of people coming through the door. In our group, a couple of the burgers came out very undercooked, with blood pooling on the plate. No one had been asked how they wanted their burger cooked and it wasn't mentioned when we ordered, so it was an unpleasant surprise even if it wasn't exactly anyone's "fault." I ordered the spicy Korean fried chicken sandwich, which ended up being just okay. The bottom of the bun was soggy, so it fell apart and was hard to pick up and eat. The kimchi on the sandwich didn't bring much flavor or heat, so it kind of missed the mark for something that's supposed to be a bold, spicy option.
