   The food and drinks here are delicious! Never had a bad meal. The service was a little slow but they explained they were down a cook and comped our apps which was very nice! The servers are all nice and welcoming! Highly recommend this for brunch or dinner!

   The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff was so very friendly and helpful! Interesting cocktail menu and my French75 was delightful. Salads were huge and so good. My husbands steak was tender and the sauces were an additional surprise. I ordered the Branzino and the fish was tender and I enjoyed the unique potato squares and broccolini. All seasoned very well. Depending on the bar activity it can be a bit noisy. This is also an excellent place if you like to eat outdoors.

   The food, drink selection, and service were excellent. The menu is original but not too fancy so that it is inviting for patrons of all tastes. The pear salad is awesome - truly the best we have ever had. The ambience of the outside courtyard is great.

   A very good local fine dining spot glad we went. The food is a calibre above the vibe of the restaurant itself. I felt the crowd was casual for a fine dining place but in Dublin,PA it’s probably hard enough to get butts in seats. Overall we enjoyed our dinner. I wish they were open a bit later on Friday and Saturday but that’s probably due to the local market also.

   It was an interesting experience. It was nice but just off of what would have been very nice. Please understand that the entire experience happened during a 60 minute dining experience - so we weren’t dragging our feet at all. Starting w arriving for our reservation and being told we could sit outside (chilly/blustery evening) because we don’t have any tables available. (no, no one else sat outside the rest of the evening). We had smokers from the restaurant walk out and smoke next to us often in our short time there. When we sat, there was music playing outside, 5 minutes later they turned off the music and took in the speakers, we had to request that they “turn the music back on please” which they apologetically did. To end the experience, as we were sitting finishing our wine after dinner, where our plates had yet to be cleared, a group of employees came out and quite brusquely closed and lowered all of the patio umbrellas and “shut down” the area - where we were still sitting - sure seemed like it was time for us to get out!! The people were pleasant, the food was pretty good, but the whole experience was a little like a Curb your enthusiasm episode.

    Wonderful service in a farmhouse classy settling. The appetizer portions are large enough to share. The grilled cheese was rich and paired well with the tomato soup. Try the dates, they were wonderful. I had the special surf and turf and usually lobster is overcooked—absolutely not here. It was buttery and tender and paired with a nice sized filet. And try to leave room for dessert. There’s a 4 layer carrot cake you have to try. The only thing I will say is that because of the size of the restaurant and the type of building, it is loud. However, the food, the crafty cocktails and great service you don’t see much of anymore is well worth it.
