Beautiful trails, fairy princess areas that the kids just loved, great photo ops even had a wedding being filmed here when we got here. Wasn't too hot, not expensive a great way to relax and walk on some trails for the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.!!!

It was a very small garden but the hiking trail down into the bottom forest was amazing…read more The tulips were all in bloom and several trees were flowering. I am sure this place is gorgeous in mid April. We were traveling through the area so we went a bit early for spring flowers. I would love to go back at a later date. We saw a few different birds, lizards and squirrels. There's a super cute children's garden with a finger painting wall, a fairy town with a running toy train. The price was $15 per person and it seemed a bit pricey for such a small garden. Perhaps I would feel differently if there were more flowering gardens. I would love to come back again when there's more flowers and plants in bloom. There's a small gift shop and everything was fairly priced. I bought a book about birds and some magnets. The staff was very friendly and gave some good advice on where to spot birds and reptiles.

This was our first concert at this venue but I really like it.

The service was good, the drinks were mostly good(we had a couple of the same drink that came to the table and they were not equal pour) but overall great experience. They have some really cool seating areas outside with fire pits to keep you warm. WE WILL BE BACK!

DON'T sit in the balcony for a concert. They seat 8 people to a large table, which is nice, you have a bunch of room. But no one at the table can see the stage if you are seated. Some people had to turn their chairs completely around and some people had to get up and stand at the balcony edge the entire time. Decent sound ( it was loud enough ) but couldn't hear what the singer was actually singing. I don't know if that is a band thing or a venue thing. The service was excellent, but we just purchased drinks. I have an issue with the bathroom. The stalls are so small in the women's bathroom that you have to STEP PAST the toilet to close the door. When you stand up after going, you have to back up to the side of the toilet to open the stall door. So uncomfortable! And THEN, wash your hands and there is no paper anywhere near the sinks! You have to walk to the door to get paper to dry your hands. So if you had to put your purse in between your knees to wash your hands, you will have to grab your purse with wet hands to get over to the towels to dry your hands.

If you want to have a wonderful & peaceful wedding DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE!!! Cathy the owner seems…read moresuper nice at the beginning but this is her trick. Cathy showed up to the wedding out of dress code telling us to lower the music at 9pm & the contract specifically said music down at 10:30pm. Cathy disrespected older members of my family. Cathy will play with your time & everyone's time, money and enjoyment of the wedding. As well, felt very uncomfortable with her comments about us being Hispanic and stated that since my family was part Hispanic the party would be very loud. This lady needs a reality check. She acts super sweet and kind but in reality she is not. She's a great example of a wolf in sheep's clothing. I don't recommend this venue to anyone. Cathy is very unprofessional and doesn't know how to treat older people. Cathy is super polite at the beginning but the day of the wedding her job is to make everyone in a bad mood including the bride, she will stress you out. Please do not get married here.

Barn South turned out to be a really cute wedding venue! When I first heard "barn," I thought there…read moremight be animals, but it's strictly a barn-style event space and a beautifully designed one at that. The staff was accommodating, though I think the flow of the reception and overall direction could have been handled a bit better. Maybe a bit more experienced or seasoned folks that know the procession of how weddings go or flow. One of the highlights was the food! The pasta bar was a hit, with options like stuffed pasta, chicken pasta, and salmon pasta...all delicious and well prepared. Staff did remove the food rather quickly as there was enough for seconds but there were folks that didn't even get their firsts. They did accommodate me with a plate to give as one of the groomsmen didn't get one in time. So they made a few huge plate options to make up for it. The bar service was also top tier, thanks to the bartender Roxanne. She made sure the drinks kept flowing and wasn't skimping, which I appreciated and after all, it was paid for. The venue itself made for stunning pictures, and I especially loved the open outdoor area, which sparked so many ideas for a grand entrance. The decorations were well done, creating a fairytale like atmosphere that fit the occasion perfectly. The wedding was a success, and this venue provided a beautiful backdrop for such a special day

I want to preface this by saying that restaurants at this price point are held to an impossible…read morestandard, perfection, nothing less is acceptable. That out of the way, the restaurant itself is stunning, absolutely gorgeous! We arrived at 5pm on the dot, waited across the street for opening (per yelp's hours of operation). There were already a couple of people at the bar and one table sat. The hostesses were both very welcoming and sat us quickly. Our section was ran by two sisters and we were having a lovely time! Bread service included a sun dried tomato focaccia and some yeast rolls with 2 butters (one salted and one sweet) and an oil and vinegar dip. Excellent! For an appetizer we chose the pork Belly with Brussels. I liked it. Hubby felt it was too sweet but still ate all the pork out of it while I worked mostly on the Brussels. For our meal we shared the special, a Cowboy Ribeye with scallops and selected the Calabrian butter to accompany. The steak itself... we were offered salt and pepper, we said no but upon taking bites wish we had. The steak was cooked to the perfect temp. I like mine rare, hubby likes a little more to render the fat, we went with medium rare and they hit the mark. There was a nice char yet the inside was still very juicy. Neither of us felt it had much flavor though. And this is where, at this price point, I need something to really stand out. Atop the steak (since we chose scallops) were our scallops and on top of that a bulb of roasted garlic. Yum and yum! Since we were sharing and because I wasn't sure if I'd like the Calabrian butter (which when you select an accompaniment/topping it usually comes on top of the steak, likely why the steak may have seemed to lack flavor, as the variety of butters would influence the outcome) we had the Calabrian butter served on the side. The presentation was beautiful! I actually didn't care so much for the Calabrian butter with the steak (hubby did) but it was phenomenal with the scallops, absolutely perfect pairing. Now we're at $240 without alcohol. And this is where I had to knock a star. Again, at this price point, everything must be perfection! Along with the steak lacking a bit of flavor, the pork belly being too sweet for hubby, I didn't care for the way the "shared meal" was presented. In other fine dining establishments, when we would share a dish, we've had some really creative ways they have done so, from pre slicing the steak (chateaubriand style and placing it in the middle offering us both clean plates) to plating two separate dishes out of one for us, there are ways to do this. Instead hubby is awkwardly splitting the platter and divvying out a portion to my plate across the table. I'd expect this at a chain steakhouse, not at fine dining where service is paramount. Additionally, at the end of our meal, I asked for a to-go cup for the rest of my tea. She asked me to wait as she had just been sat a table next to us, and then another got sat while she was working that table. Understandable. So we waited, and waited, now it's getting awkward, by the 3rd time she came back to our section without my cup, we just got up and left. It felt like once we payed we were no longer relevant, even though we left a hefty tip as up to that point the service really was great. Had this been a chain, my expectations would've been on the floor. But this is clearly a restaurant that's shooting for Michelin stars, which I believe they could earn, but to do so, again, absolutely nothing can go wrong, there is no room for error or even the implication of anything less than stellar. The bar is high and this time, they just barely missed the mark.
