Hands down the best cidery in the area. Went here on a whim on what turned out to be a very…read moreimportant occasion (Ryan's Day), and stayed for much longer than anticipated. The location is a laid back and comfortable farmhouse with great outdoor seating and a smooth indoor draft service. Awesome selection of both draft beers and, most importantly, cider. No misses from what I ordered- and I ordered quite a bit. The bartenders know their craft and are great conversations. Good dudes. The owner is a lad as well. 10/10 experience, and will definitely be returning soon and often. -KC

The orange crush IPA was incredibly smooth and easy to enjoy, and the strawberry rhubarb seltzer, while a bit sweet for my taste, was still delicious. The atmosphere was immaculate. There was live music, a few local vendors set up, and everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. It felt like one of those places where the energy makes the drinks taste even better. I'll definitely be returning.

I rented out the venue and they catered it to my likings. I had an all white party, they had the linens and some decoration already so that saved me money right there. They have a DJ booth already equipped, a nice size bar, a nice buffet area, spacious dance floor, plenty of space to mingle and most of all their hospitality! The filipino/american food was so good and tasty. If you are looking for a place to rent you have to come here! They accommodate any type of function and events. All my guest just raved about this place. It's in a store front location but don't let that fool you because what they can transform in the inside is just wonders! This place made my birthday the best!! I will add pics soon...

From the first meeting I knew she was the perfect fit to deal with my crazy family and friends for my Day of Coordinating. She is very professional but also knows how to have fun and even danced with us at our wedding. Having her for coordinating definitely took the stress off of me the day of. We had problems with wind all day and right before walking down the aisle is rained for a few minutes. Sandy handled everything perfectly and I was still able to get married outside. I am going to miss working with Sandy but we will keep in touch. She not only was my coordinator but became a great friend.

We just finished celebrating Easter brunch/Dinner today on a Saturday. We are first timers with…read moreTraditions, but I must say our family was extremely impressed from start to finish! We ordered takeaway Easter brunch that needed to be pre-heated before serving. We had a choice of shrimp and grits or salmon but since we had a larger order we were able to do half and half and have the best of both worlds. Ordering and paying ahead before the deadline online was simple! If you have questions prior to ordering just call. We had certain requests and were informed over the phone it was feasible but to type it in under the special instructions box when ordering. Everything was delivered as ordered and promised! No issues at all! Once we arrived we just called and the gentleman came out promptly to our car with a cart and our Easter brunch neatly and carefully packaged in sturdy brown handled paper bags. The kind gentleman showed us the reheating instructions and explained to us briefly the timing. He took care to inform us which bag to keep horizontal so it would not spill. It was stapled shut and handed to us in the horizontal position as well. Hence to avoid confusion and prevent disastrous spillage. This was greatly appreciated! The food was neatly and carefully packaged with each aluminum sturdy container marked with its contents. Once again very smart and greatly appreciated! We just had to pop in the entire container in the oven. No fuss, no muss. Most items ranged from 10-12 minutes to re-heat some 15-20 minutes. The quality and quantity of food did not disappoint!! Pricing is definitely not cheap but the amount and quality of food is without a doubt worth every penny!! Even better was that none of us had to cook! Win win!! EVERYTHING was delicious! But the real stars were the grand marnier bread pudding, which not everyone can get bread pudding right, but this was heaven on earth for sure! The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was flavorful and a good size. The shrimp and andouille sausage shrimp and grits were hearty and delightful! Crab cakes with aioli.. slap me happy with seafood -very good! The food list goes on and on.. and I'm not complaining! The mushroom quiche with goat cheese was another big hit along with the breakfast foods of honey baked ham with pineapples and pecan and applewood bacon. We are soo full we haven't even tried the coconut pie! Thank you,Traditions, for helping to make our Easter a pleasant one with our bellies full and content. Feeling very blessed! Thank you, Jesus, and Amen!! P.S. Thank you Shawn Hoffman for calling us back to answer our questions!

My family hired Traditions to cater their business's company Christmas party at Chesapeake Golf…read moreClub that was last week. Everything was beautifully decorated. There were Christmas trees, Christmas lights strung, and the tables were gorgeous with green and red linens and white chinaware. Along the wall was a beautiful display of hors d'oeuves like artichoke and spinach dip with crackers and pita points, cheese, and fruit. The dip was delicious! They had coffee, lemonade, tea for drink. The servers gave out the salad. It was lovely display of greens with cucumber and tomato. On the table were the boats of ranch or Italian vinaigrette. This also was delicious. On the far back wall was where they had the buffet style dinner. They had roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, and asparagus for the sides. The potatoes and asparagus were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I didn't feel the same for the rice. It was completely tasteless and left me disappointed. The main entrees were roasted sirloin with horseradish sauce and a pepper crusted salmon with mango cilantro. The sirloin was not really hot and also not seasoned well enough. The sauce was delicious though. The salmon was picturesque. It looked like it was out of a cooking magazine, and I wanted to love this so much buuuut my salmon was just a tad undercooked. I want to make this clear: everyone I talked to enjoyed their meal. I had someone tell me their salmon was over cooked. I had another loved their roast. And another dislike it as much as I did. There was a complete mix of opinion when it came to their food. Maybe it was just the menu selection that was chosen. Anyway, this place was great! I'd definitely come back again. The servers were great, the decor was lovely. Come check them out!
