My fiancé (now husband) and I had completely fallen in love with a cocktail called a bleeding heart served at a restaurant near our apartment in Washington, DC and desperately wanted to recreate it at our wedding. The only problem was we were getting married in Glenn Arbor. Turns out this was not a problem at all for the Tonic and Lime team. My fiancé for the recipe from the restaurant, sent it to Amber, and then a month before our wedding Amber did a cocktail tasting for us to make sure the drink was perfect and it was delicious! This is just one small example of how they helped us have a truly memorable wedding day and we are so glad we hired them! All our DC friends loved the nod to DC and our family from midwest loved the funky cocktail that we used instead of the champaign toast. We can't recommend Amber and the Tonic and Lime team enough!

Shannon was very proactive. I didn't have to worry about a thing, and many guests had positive comments for Shannon and the food. She did a great job cleaning up. We were well satisfied with her preparations for the party and the quality of the food. She was very accomodating of people's food requests. We would certainly have Shannon again. She was very professional.

We had exchanged several phone calls, menus and emails and agreed on a price. All was set. We asked to meet ten days before our wedding on a tuesday. She said she could not meet until thursday.

If she had a better deal she could have called and just simply said I can not do it. Instead ,we were left to scramble to find someone to do it for us. Luckily we did find someone who was fantastic and did a much better job than she would have based on her menus etc.

The winery is adorable, and the patio is even better. Their spritzer on the patio, on a beautiful day, was perfect.

Tracey, the owner, was fantastic! She was both personable and efficient. Willows wine list is short, so they do have room to grow. We had a great experience and would go back.

The flights were expensive and because she had another party coming, she forced us to take a flight we didn't want.

We all gritted our teeth and got through it but it was a wild ride that none of us really enjoyed. And don't fall for the Secret Cellar.

There were very few open tickets left, so I highly recommend making your reservations as far in advance as possible! You can cancel for a full refund before 48 hours of your tubing time. The website is a little contradictory as they say tubing is open for all ages, however, they highly encourage all tubers to be able to handle loading and unloading themselves on and off the tow rope. We have a 4.5 & 2 year old so we gambled, as I had heard they have double tubes and we'd be able to handle this issue by riding with them. When we arrived, we signed in inside and were given our passes and a quick run down of how things worked. I was happy to see the COVID safety precautions they had in place - plexiglass dividers, sanitizer, and lots of social distancing at the indoor tables. I will note, they require face masks to be worn inside and outside while on the hill. This was actually welcomed as it helped keep our faces warm and we didn't find it bothersome at all to have them on! Especially flying down the hill! They have a full bar, snacks, etc inside for sale - we did not take advantage but nice to know its there! Bathrooms are inside, as well. There is a pile of tubes that you get to choose from, double tubes are first come first serve and we were able to grab two. These were ideal for our young kids! We were able to load them on and off the tow rope easily and had no issues. The operator at the bottom is super helpful in making sure you tube is secured and you are good to go. There is an operator at the top that tells you to get off the tube and he unhooks it from the rope - did not expect that but it was very much welcomed! There was about 4 operators at the top of the hill that help coordinate when you can go down and help you get going - again, no anticipated but very welcomed! This allowed us to get situated with our kids and they launched us down the hill. The hill is pretty dang big! Given the recent warm up, the hill was also very icy! We did not have any issues falling out or tipping, thankfully, but I would definitely recommend helmets, especially for kids! I was very happy to see that they had put hay down at the bottom of the hill. Not only did this help combat the mud, slush, ice, water mess.. but it helped slow the tubes since you go about mach 10 down the hill! lol There is plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit to enjoy, as well. All in all, we had a great experience at Timberlee and we look forward to coming back! Our kids loved it, and we as adults did, too! Also, we were disappointed we didn't see the Bloody Mary's until we were leaving, they looked really good!

Synopsis: Amazing food and rock bottom prices with great customer service…read more The essay: I haven't heard much about Nepalese cuisine, until I read The Kid Who Climbed Everest by Bear Grylls. Dal Bhat sounded interesting. Dal means lentils, Bhat means rice. The lentils are cooked with spices, tomatoes, onions, and chillies, given then great flavor and texture. The rice helps to soak up the flavors, and makes the meal more filling. They eat this a half dozen times per day when climbing the mountains. I started cooking this at home, and it's a staple meal in my household. I started to visit Nepalese restaurants wherever I go, and have had some amazing meals. Nepalese cuisine to me is a better version of lowland Indian cuisine, more veggies that are less cooked down, and the flavors are more subtle. I also love food trucks, and have visited food trucks in almost every state, and a few countries, seeking the best one. Amazingly, this food truck is both, my favorite food truck, and my favorite Nepalese restaurant. It's one of my favorite restaurants in general. If I lived here, I would likely eat here every single day. I watched as the owner peeled and cut up all of the fresh veggies, made all the sauces from scratch, and prepared my meal. I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the large serving size, and the great flavors and texture. My jaw dropped when I saw that it was $7. I paid $10 for half the meal at another food truck the day before.

Two of our guests had to jump in to help the two kids set up. The food was not brought in on trays, therefore the sliders had to be set up on the table. The cheese for the charcuterie boards had to be cut up by our guests as well. They had to pretty much do everything when they should have been enjoying our day. There was nothing to put the silverware in, so that to had to be rounded up. They were supposed to stay and replenish food and clean up. Since there wasn't even enough food to feed all our guest including the Bride and Groom, there wasn't anything to replenish with. Our bar tenders were amazing and stepped up to clean up what was this caterers responsibility. What should have been a beautiful flawless day that was planned out for months, this catering company dropped the ball and caused stress, cost us more money to buy more food from local businesses and was an embarrassment to us. I don't know how ANYONE could do this to someone, especially on their special day. Apparently he took on another wedding that day and didn't bother to answer any calls, texts or emails when he was an apparent no show. I felt bad for the two kids he sent into a horrible situation. They acted like they had no idea what to do or how to handle a very uncomfortable situation. Steve Peltier, you should be ashamed of yourself! You haven't even had enough decency to contact us to apologize or explain yourself, which there really isn't an excuse! I hope this review keeps anyone looking for a caterer for their special day from making the same mistake we did in trusting in you. We should have known when you wouldn't return calls or emails for very long periods of time and would not let us have any tastings.
