    It's been a few years since I've been here. Still as good as ever! Today I had lunch instead of…read morebreakfast and wasn't very hungry. I chose the tomato bisque with polenta. A cup of very good tomato soup served in a large bowl made for a pretty plate but was not a large portion by any stretch of the imagination. I get it, but I should have gone with the grilled cheese sandwich which comes with tomato soup for $7 more. Others portions were large and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our server was very good and the place has a cozy feel to it. I just wish they'd upgrade the restroom from a oner. Since we were in Ligonier strolling through the Ice Fest, we decided to warm up with some beverages. I had Irish coffee and my daughter had the bourbon espresso cream. Both were very good and did the trick to warm us up!

    I'm not really sure where to start with this review…read more While visiting, some lovely locals recommended to try the Kitchen on Main as a good lunch or dinner spot. On the outside, you're greeted with plenty of outdoor patio seating in front of the restaurant and live music from an artist playing tunes. Inside is a spacious bar, lounge and woodsy interior with another room with tables and larger party seating. Since we had a little one with us, we thought more fitting to sit outside, watch the horses and carriages pass and enjoy the fresh air. We were told by the hosts that the seating in the front, though unoccupied, wasn't available, but the tables on the side (which I thought were for storage as they weren't set, cleaned or too presentable looking) were. Although a bit confused by that note, we decided to sit outside. It seemed that there was only one server working the outside area as we saw her hastily going back and forth. We were sat at 5:35pm or so. After about 10 minutes, she took our drink orders and 10 minutes later we then ordered our food. We got the drink we ordered then patiently awaited our food. A little after 6:05p, it started to sprinkle with rain outside. If you know PA, the rain can come down hard and heavy, quick. We asked our server if they had other seating available who went to check. As we were sitting on the side of the building - in an uncovered area - we went inside around 6:15p to ask if there was other seating available. Surely a rain soaked toddler and water ruined food isn't the best look for a restaurant serving its guests.. Both the younger lady hosts and a man (not sure his relation to this restaurant), John, seemed a bit perplexed by our request. He then proceeded to advise that the umbrella-covered seating in the front of the restaurant wasn't available, pulls his phone out to check the weather, notes that it doesn't say it's raining, but instead says "yeah, I don't know what that is, maybe it's a neighbor spraying a hose nearby" (while another employee says "I see the rain on the window in front of us") and doesn't really provide any solution for us to sit so we go back outside. Very confused by that interaction, when we saw our server next, we told her that we would be leaving and we'll pay the check for the one drink we ordered. Another girl came out and apologized, saying she wasn't sure why they wouldn't let us sit inside or anywhere else and proceeded to take us to a table inside. Our now hangry and somewhat sprinkled on toddler got her food, noodles with butter, at 6:20p and we got our dishes at 6:30p. The food looked decent though I can't comment on its flavor and taste of our meals as I had no appetite then. I don't know who would want to enjoy a meal there after that interaction. No apology or conversation from a manager was ever had, no items removed from the bill or a complimentary item provided to make up for the poor experience. We didn't eat much as we were quite off put but paid the bill in full. I still have no idea who the "John" guy is and what purpose he may serve there aside from the blatant disregard of guest's concerns and a poor example set in front of the younger employees. Our server and some of the other runner girls were kind, so I don't think customer service and general decency as a human is lacking from this town but this experience and this specific restaurant left that unfortunate impression. If he or they didn't want us there, I surely would have appreciated the honesty so we could spend our money and celebrate Father's Day weekend elsewhere. I don't plan on coming back and only Yelp members don't visit either. If I could tell you to avoid this restaurant at all costs, I would.

    I haven't been back to Ligonier in a while but plan on getting there soon…read more I loved this little cozy place with a good bit of seating and very eclectic. I'm a strict vegetarian who eats some seafood. The coffee is excellent. I got the French press. Loved it. And I had a plate of food at the time and loved it too. Can't wait to go back. It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it be because of the quality and care that is given. I'm always looking for really good coffee - not weak- and this passed the test.

    Today we came here to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. We strolled the shops in Ligonier and…read morethen came here for our lunch. They were super accommodating to us, allowing us to BYOB and providing not just some delicious lunch entrees but a phenomenal dessert to top it all off. This is an order at the counter and then be seated type of establishment. You can choose from gourmet grilled cheese, a soup of the day, a frittata or soup of the day and several healthy salad options. We ordered and our food it was brought to our table within a few minutes.! Fresh lemon water was offered and filled when empty. I pre-ordered a dessert, a white chocolate raspberry tart, and we absolutely loved it! The cafe is nicely decorated with artwork and there is a section of Free Trade wares for sale in the entry area. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. High quality foods served by a very nice staff member in a pleasant atmosphere. Try it next time you are in Ligonier for a shopping day.
