When I have a break in my day, I try to make my way to this 'hidden gem' in Warren County (is it still a hidden gem?) I usually go for the lunch and coffee, which is amazing coffee by the way! And the lunch they have is perfect for someone who wants a fresh sandwich. They have desserts, soups, and other drinks as well. Cute gift shop. On the pricier side but well worth the $ since products are made with their very own lavender. Aesthetically pleasing and quaint, they have a lot to check out. Every year I feel as if they add more to the farm! The staff is always friendly and greet you with a smile. They host special workshops as well as offering space to rent out for shower's, events, etc. During their peak season of lavender and other plants, they offer a "you pick" where you can, of course, pick your bundle. I love Long Row. Wish I could go more!

A friend introduced me to this amazingly PEACEFUL place several years ago. I live pretty far away,…read morebut somehow the staff remember me on my increasingly less frequent visits. I came regularly for years, but l i f e. Katie will hook you up in the cafe with GREAT drinks, desserts, breakfast & lunch options as well. I like to browse the shop while I wait. Soap sale today as well as end of season. I have tried MANY of their lavender items as well as decor. Fresh Thyme was carrying some of their products the last time I got groceries.

We stopped through Warrenton to grab some lunch, and happened to find Uncle Eddie's Kettle Corn…read moreright outside of where we ate. If you know me, you know I cannot resist a good bag of kettle corn. So we saved room for dessert, and stopped by before we left. This is a food truck, family-owned, little business. There were two kids outside ready to sell, and they quickly informed us of all the flavors they had. The little guy even tried to give us a loyalty card, with so many purchases to get a free bag, but we had to turn him down since we aren't from the area. The kettle corn itself was delicious. There were big, puffy pieces of popcorn, and it was seasoned evenly. They are located right off the interstate. If you are passing through, or from the area, I'd recommend a stop!

Great food. Always made it a point to target Thursdays which was fried chicken day. Bummed that…read morethey only serve fried chicken on the third Thursday of the month. Worth keeping in mind - although we are not in the area that often.

Looking forward to visiting again soon!

It was a hot day and night and it was a little stuffy inside this place but the food is really good! They serve Diet Coke (no Coke Zero nor Diet Dr pepper) which is a real bummer. I also don't find their chips/salsa that great, but my son LOVES their salsa so go figure lol. Their Burrito Americano was delicious but not very filling. I am usually stuffed but I guess it did not come with rice/beans or anything??? Service is fast and friendly and we always enjoy our visit here.

DO NOT HAVE A WEDDING HERE!!!! Simeen is horrible to work…read morewith and does not honor all her husband promises couples. they never meet with couples at same time, he lures them in with promised and she does not honor them!!! Venue is outdoors so beware that their is NO place to go inside if bad weather and they charge extra for every little thing!!! For the price of the venue, you get nothing else from them. So many venues out there that will cater to a bride and groom. you cannot decorate reception area until 6pm, which means YOU are NOT decorating it due to being at the wedding sight. more money to spend as you would need to hire someone to decorate it for you. Guests cannot be at reception area until 630, so by time everyone is shuttled up there, do dinner, cake, toasts etc, you will be lucky to get 2 hours of music and dance. It has to end at 10pm in spite of the contract stating you get venue to 11pm, that last hours is so YOU can clean it for them since they do NOTHING!!! Bride and Groom suite are on a hill that you get at 3pm, so have hair and make up done before you get there a you get time to change and then go do photos before the ceremony. Not sure why she wont let them have these sooner, no one is using them. Bride will walk down hill that has a gravel path to wedding sight, I just see issues with that, falling down, twisting an ankle, dress being filthy. We tried to work with her, she was very difficult. She took our money and refuses a refund of any kind because she is a greedy you know what!!! I hope these reviews are worth it, I paid for them so enjoy these Simeen!! They also say they can cater a smaller wedding 75 or less. We asked about this and were basically told we really should use a caterer!!

This year for my birthday my wife planned a weekend away for us. We dropped our kids off at their…read moregrandparents and then headed out. We wanted to get out of the city so headed 45 minutes west to the edges of St. Charles County. We stayed at an amazing AirBnB (Red Mule Ranch) and then decided to go to Cedar Lake Cellars. There are a ton of wineries in the St. Louis and Southern Illinois area. I've been to a lot of them, but had never been to Cedar Lake Cellars. It is a well known winery and event space just west of St. Louis. There are two main options for when you go. The Barrell Room is a large barn that has a mixture of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. This is the more casual of the two areas. There are large tables inside, and then an open patio area. The Barrell room doesn't have food itself, but just outside is a BBQ stand that also caters to patrons sitting outside. This is where my wife and I sat for about an hour or so before dinner. It had a lot of bachelor parties and larger groups. This area also has live music on the weekends. The second main place to eat and drink (skipping over the outdoor BBQ area) is the restaurant and tasting room. This is more of a formal dining room. The menu was modest but had a mixture of steaks, sandwiches, soups, and appetizers. The prices were very reasonable, and we very much enjoyed our food. The service was good, although maybe a bit overworked, and overall we had zero complaints. I got prime rib with two sides for around $35 which is a great deal. I was actually surprised at how reasonable the prices were. It just makes it that much easier to order a couple glasses of wine. Beyond the two main indoor/outdoor eating areas there are a number of other wedding venues on the property. There is also an stage and the venue hosts outdoor concerts. When we were there this aspect of the property wasn't being used. The overall property felt immense. It is a shame as it definitely felt like the winery could have a lot more people there than we saw, there were probably 75 tables/benches (or more) outside and only a handful had people. It could be that the heat was keeping people away, or just that wineries are declining in popularity from their peak a few years ago. Either way, we had a great time.

My husband and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary here, and it was absolutely amazing! From…read morethe moment we arrived, everything was simply beautiful. The atmosphere was laid-back, relaxing, and the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a special day together. The food was delicious, and the frozen sangrias were absolutely divine! One of the best touches was receiving a complimentary wine glass with every drink, which made the experience even more memorable. The staff was welcoming, the vibes were chill, and the entire winery had such a warm and inviting feel. This is by far my favorite winery, and I can't wait to come back. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and visit. You definitely won't regret it!!!!

Stopped here to grab a quick bite in between ball games. Service here was quick and super friendly!…read moreFood was hot and tasted great. The cherry flavor on the soda machine stopped working and they do not have Diet Dr. Pepper?!? Place is clean but the bathroom has only one stall so it can take forever if one person is in there for a while.

We stop in Warrenton on our way to Mark Twain Lake for our weekend getaways…read more We have stopped at several known fast food establishments right there not even a stone's throw from this location. We left them many times over with less than satisfactory food & service - We were about to give up on that area altogether, but we decided to try this DQ, we are so glad we did too! The food comes out quickly & hot like it was just prepared! We use Carry Out- Thank you!
