Excellent first experience. We made reservations online, they were ready for us when we arrived. We sat inside due to the wind but loved how much outdoor seating was available. Perfect for groups of all sizes. Impressive menu is ciders and food options. A few items were sold out, but not surprised because they sounded delicious. Started with a flight of ciders - highly recommend! Kids meal was cute served on a metal tray. Everyone enjoyed their food and the atmosphere, we will be back again soon.
