Missy, Jaime and Isaac took turns serving us and made us feel like we were the only ones in the cave. The food was delicious and the wine pairing was spot on. It was our second time here and both times the owners gracefully stopped at each table to greet all customers. It is a unique experience for a special dinner in an amazing environment. And we left with a delicious bottle of wine!

First two courses were excellent. Elk tartare was incredible, pave and lobster roll were very good. Zuppa toscano (soup) and shrimp & grits were nicely done. Cons: The meal quality started off great and went down with each course. With steak and salmon as other options, I thought a restaurant that would put a grilled cheese sandwich on a $100 meal must have an innovative sandwich. I was wrong. It was burnt and had no taste at all. An eight year old could have done better with a slice of Kraft. My Madeline dessert was four pieces of dry something, though the chocolate s'mores cake was significantly better.

We were here on a weekday (Wednesday) in late June. We were disappointed that only one of the…read more"living history" attractions was open (the blacksmith shop). The VERY NICE, VERY HELPFUL lady at the visitor's center explained that if we took the living history tour, we'd be given access to each attraction via a key fob (or something) and we could go in and see the site and view a video. However, other than the blacksmith - none of the living history sites were staffed. There were some nice shops (commercial) to visit and it was a pleasant afternoon but we were disappointed that none of the history stuff was "actively operational". Fortunately for us - we didn't have kids with us but if parents are bringing the kids here for the history - they've going to be disappointed.

If you are like me and know very little about the Amish in our country, this is the way to learn so…read moremuch about the history and current lifestyle. Rich, the owner/operator was excellent in his narration of the Amish. His parents were Amish but left the community before he was born. He went over some "rules" about how to show respect to the Amish such as don't take any pictures without asking first. During our three-hour tour, we were able to see the beautiful countryside, farms, and homes, staying off the main roads is the only way to see just how awesome this area is! We made three stops in the Amish-owned and operated stores and workshops. The Amish that we met were very friendly and enjoyed showing us their great businesses. I learned so much about the Amish today and have more respect for their culture. Please consider taking one of the number of tours that Rich offers. I wish I had found his website earlier as I would have loved having dinner with the Amish and learning more about them! Please do keep in mind that the Amish may or may not take credit cards! It is best to have cash! Also, their stores, etc, are not open on Sundays!

Great tour! The owner has many Amish roots in his Family and knows his stuff. Very informative…read more Found the 2 hour tour was sufficient. Beautiful countryside.

We booked the back roads tour which lasted 2 hours, with a stop at a candle shop owned and operated by an Amish family. Also a stop at an Amish home which you are quickly ushered through (but get to see how they live) to the quilting area where you can purchase quilts, etc. The quilts are made right in the home, and while very expensive this family does take layaway. We passed buggies on our journey as we drove along the back roads. We learned a lot about the Ohio Amish, which are apparently different from other Amish communities I have visited in the past. If you are in the area, book the tour. It is well worth your time and you will learn quite a bit.

Lake Park recreational complex is the home of the Erie/Ohio canal boat tours run seasonally…read more Tickets are available inside a gift shop near the dock or at the visitor's center of Historic Roscoe Village. The gift shop offers traditional souvenirs of your canal ride and some snacks and drinks as well as popcorn. Canal boat tours run for 40 minutes on the hour starting a 1:00 with the last tour departing at 4:00. Instead of mules, two workhorses named "Bill" and "Rock" will pull the long ropes that will guide you on your 2 1/2 mile round trip tour along the canal. The horses are in a shaded resting area between tours and you can walk over there and pet them. The Erie/Ohio canal was built in the 1800s modeled after the famous Erie canal in western NY. This canal began in Cleveland and traveled as far south to Portsmouth, Ohio, right on the shore of the Ohio river. The canal itself doesn't exist anymore in its entirety but the tour gives you an opportunity to experience what it was like to ride a canal boat and see how long it would take to travel the route. We got in the "Monticello III"-the name of our boat and had a seat on one of the wooden benches. It felt so different to move slowly as we watched the draft horses pull us along the canal. In some spots the canal was narrow and in other spots it widened out. Our guide told us all about the history of the canal and the boats and answered any questions we had. Passengers normally slept where we sat and the boats were used to haul cargo. The canal itself in the day had to go through many locks run by a lock keeper to allow for the ascent or descent of the water lines. The water depth is only 4 feet. It was neat watching us "turn around" to the other side and the caretaker unhitched the horses from one side and hitched them to the other. On our way back we were able to stand out on the deck and watch them pull us as well as look as the stillness of the canal covered in spots with moss. It was cool and restful and made for quite a comfortable trip. Once back they turned the boat around for the next group and let us off. Your prepaid ticket does not lock you into any particular boat launch but you need to be at the dock at least 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled departure. The boats will run in many cases but be advised that they may not run in inclement weather. The canal is a must do highlight if you plan to visit historic Roscoe village. It is well worth the money and a fun family activity. A pathway connects this launch with Roscoe village or if you prefer it is an easy drive back and forth and plenty of parking is available.
