    Friendly. Modest. Cozy. Came here for "Pressed Fest" mid-October and surprised to find this little gem of the local community, attached to the Shamrock Grove motel with a cozy, fun vibe equipped with everything from s'mores kits, fire pits, and local honey and cider donuts. Skip the corporate cider also-rans: this is what NH small biz is all about. Cider was tasty, service helpful, and the outside community bustling with folks who seemed to know each other well (always a good sign). Fall 2023 cider lineup covered everything from sweet candy apple to dry "bonez" variant to (my fave) a classic New England Hazy Cider that's just the right balance of sweet and sour to meet most mouth's apple appetites. Come check this place, you might just be surprised at the flavor you find over the hills and not so far away.

    Fun to visit the goats!

    Great ciders and great people! Best cider is Baked Apple Crisp. The Hopped Blueberry was a great option for a beer drinker.

    We stayed in the motel on the property and ended up taking a bottle of hazy cider with us to have with a quick dinner.

Fast service. It was lobster fest, or lobster specials. The sea scallops were huge & cook perfectly, shrimp was also cooked perfect. The onion soup was one of the best, highly recommend. I would skip the Brussels sprout appetizer.

The outdoor tables were fantastic--it was raining pretty good but they're very covered, we stayed plenty dry and enjoyed the open air (see pics for the view!). Our server, Jordan, was prompt, professional, and had some helpful recommendations. Versus most restaurants on the main road in Lincoln I'd say the prices here are a bit higher and the portions are a bit smaller, but the quality is a significant step up too. Salmon was great, and I really enjoyed the risotto in particular. The salad also had an apple cider vinegarette dressing that felt very homemade (I think there were little chunks of apple in it). The Rhythm Ciders were fantastic, the flight came with generous 5 ounce pours (the seasonal was my personal favorite). Our experience was far from that described in some of the negative reviews. Our server checked on us a number of times, the manager came by two or three times, and everything came exactly as ordered. Maybe there were some growing pains when they first moved to this space, but they've certainly been worked out now--this will be a go-to for us when we want a nicer dinner in the area. I would assume only service dogs allowed, as you need to walk through the restaurant to reach the outdoor seating and it's on a balcony.

It was very crowded when we arrived but they had ample parking without any issue finding a spot. We each ordered a flight of ciders so we had about 8 different ciders to try. We loved them all. My favorite was the blueberry, you could actually taste the fruit and it wasn't super sweet which I loved. They had some indoor seating and out door seating with picnic tables. They only had a select few of umbrellas, out biggest complaint was we wish they had more because we were baking in the sun. They have a couple of port-a-potties to use and a watercooler and cups. The view of the mountain ranges was amazing and beautiful. We will be back.

    What a fun place! I was thinking it would be a good road trip, out in the country, a Back road…read moredestination. Well to my surprise, the parking lot, and field parking was almost full. The process to eat/drink a bit clunky as you get in line for your first order, and the wait staff will assist on any second orders as you ae seated. The food and drinks were good. Lots of pizza, pretzels and cheese platters were flying out the kitchen. Upstairs was more of a self serve - jelly, popcorn, ice cream and apples . The real bonus is the Awesome Views, Mt Kearsarge and many others. Overall a casual atmosphere, a band on weekends.

We elected to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. We could hear the band from the Japanese restaurant next door. I ordered a flight which consisted of four ciders that I could choose. The server wrote the initials of my choices on a board and told me what they were. I ordered less sweet, more dry kinds. There were subtle differences between them based on the fruit notes. I did miss getting a Huckleberry flavor like I do when I go to Washington state. Our server was upbeat and friendly even though we only ordered drinks. Tip: To enter, use the doors that say "use other door," I thought the arrow was saying go to an entrance around the building but that was an employee only door.

    My wife and I love cider. And there is no better place to get cider than where they grow the apples…read morethemselves. It was a cold and rainy day so the cider house was a little slow but that didn't stop the cider from flowing! The space is very nice and open with tons of seating inside as well as outside {when the day's are nicer}. The people working are great! Everyone is awesome, greeting you with a smile and helping you with recommendations as their menu is extensive. Next time we're in town we will definitely take more time there.
