I made a reservation a month in advance (no one had reserved a table as of yet) for 12 people for my parent's 50th anniversary. Something was miscommunicated and they ended up booking other parties after me but I'm the one who was cancelled! On top of that they tried to put our poor waitress in the middle of it and by having her call me, instead of the managers calling me. This all 2 weeks before the event. When I tried to call them ALL the managers were in a meeting and said they'd call me back right away. Never received a phone call. Why didn't they cancel the other party that was booked after me, instead of me? Guess I'll never know and shame on them for hiding behind that poor girl! I won't be giving them my money and I certainly will make sure everyone I know doesn't either! Now I'm left scrambling to find a decent facility for a once in a lifetime event.

Our server was friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Lovely view of driving range/golf course. Portions were generous. Bar seating, outside deck, interior porch and main dining room. Homemade chips were delicious. My bean burger did not have a lot of flavor and was cold in the center. While I wasnt wowed by the meal, I will try them again due to service and atmosphere.

The food came excellent! Thank you to the kitchen!! We placed the order and the tuna steak came out excellent! However the burger was stupid raw!!!! I asked to not get another since our children had eaten their food already and they enjoyed it! Thank you once again to the kitchen!! The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was as quaint as you would expect!! The tuna was cooked PERFECT! Thank you to the kitchen staff!!! I asked for the check and paid it ....(despite the fact that the waiter disappeared for over 15 mins and I had to walk to the bar to ask for it!!) Left a tip and then proceeded to leave the restaurant and head to our car since both kids hadn't slept and it was past 8 pm (when I overheard the following...) Once again the server was kind and charismatic despite ignoring us in an empty restaurant where she had 3 tables when we arrived and two when we left. As we were walking out of the restaurant, the server, had the stones to show my signed check, with a 10% tip, as was warranted after ignoring us, serving me raw food and not coming back for along time.... (Sorry kitchen but the raw burger was on you for this one!) And she, had the gall to brag to another table of patrons, showing the receipt in my wife's face, that were taking away from her money, when she provided poor service!! I wouldn't dream of having her fired, hence the reason I'll never name her. " she might have had a bad day!", BUT I want her to learn a lesson about treating every customer with respect! My wife and kids didn't deserve a poor experience for our first time in your restaurant! Be kind. Be loving and understanding! Everyone can have hardships in life, as we all do, but if you're in this industry, be kind, be watchful and give a care about your job!! You never know the negative impact you can leave for fellow strangers, especially little children that enjoyed Harper's Ferry for the first time! Overall, the restaurant is excellent, food is excellent and the vibe is 8/10!

The bartender who initially helped me never came back, and I ended up waiting until 5:02 before flagging down someone else just to get my check. What made it feel off was that I seemed to be the only person of color at the bar, and while I was being overlooked, other guests were consistently being checked on and served. I can't say for sure what the reason was, but the difference in attention was noticeable. I had planned to order more (crab cakes and shepherd's pie), but after being ignored that long, I decided against it. Overall, a disappointing experience.

The wings okay, the blue cheese weak, the fires pass the test but barely. You can drive about 5-10 minutes and get better options and see some of the historic sites in the area. That's what I recommend. Now I wouldn't say pass them by, just don't expect a top 10 meal from Alstadts, they will fill you up and that is all.

This place is right on the property for an outdoor adventure park that does tubing in the winter and river tubing/ ropes courses/camp in the summer. Being in Harper's ferry and given the neighboring business this is a captive audience gold mine for a restaurant. Sadly, we came here on a Saturday and it was PAINFULLY obvious their service capabilities could not match the customer demand signal. We started at 4PM and they were about at 50% capacity (generously). You order your own food at the bar or via QR code. This is a standard practice so nothing wrong there, but it did take us about 10 minutes to then get our drinks. The food came out within 15 minutes. Food was descent if not a little on the expensive side. Beer was fairly priced. They don't have a super large menu and they were out of a handful of things. Like for one, being out of iced tea seemed like an easy fix from my perspective working in bar/restaurant management in the past. We went and enjoyed the Christmas lights and then went back in around 615PM for a nightcap. This is where things went off the rails. The inside was full the outter tables were 40-50% taken. Overall I would say 80% of a jam packed house. We ordered 2 Irish coffees and a beer. 25 minutes later I went in to check on our drinks and the patrons faces inside said it all. The couple at the bar had been waiting 30 minutes to pay their bill, one lady got up and left because people had come in after her, ordered the same thing, eaten, paid, and left before she got her food. They hadn't even started our drinks and when I went to the bathroom I could see the kitchen order display and half their tickets were lagging, badly. From what I could tell they had 3 people tending bar/running food plus other food runners. I don't know what the kitchen staffing was. This place should be KILLING it with how they are set up location/clientele wise but I can say for certain they will take a hit on return business tonight. This place has great potential and I hope for the owner's sake this was an off night. As a bartender/bar manager watching personnel work tempo, efficiency, etc... I was screaming inside.
