We hit one of these a few years ago in Florida, so we wanted to hit it here. We ordered the classic 6 pack. When they came put with the cookies, I was a bit surprised as they were smaller than I remembered. It was more like my cookies baked at home, very different than my original experience. When we got to the car some where warm some were not. I got the gluten-free cookie, which I appreciated them putting it in a separate bag, though I wouldn't put that bag in with the other cookies because of cross contamination. That was the cookie I ate, and it was warm and gooey. It was good and worth the price since it is GF. The other people with me said the cookies were good. Again, only a few were warm. But they didn't think it was worth the price. But it makes sense ased on being by a college these are popular. I did it, I don't need to go back.

My husband and I were walking through the mall, and spotted this candy store. I was glad we decided…read moreto stop in. :-) The employees were super nice and really helpful. There were signs up for prices, and sales. This store have all the delicious treats I enjoy. I love nuts, so we purchased peanuts, and cashew covered chocolate candy. The candy is sold by the pound, so I told my husband which candies I wanted to try. He also selected a few pieces as well. Our price was about $20. :-) The store started to get a little crowded. This is a candy store, that many kids and adults, come to purchase candy from. They also have different flavored lollipops, licorice, other chocolates and etc. We visited the candy store, over the weekend. So, since we still have lots of candy that, we will visit at a later date. :-)

My seasonal latte was so smooth and delicious. My daughter had a hot chocolate (and then ordered another one!) We also had the crepes (yum!!) and seasonal toast spread - yum, yum, yum. I wanted to try everything on the menu. Next time I plan to grab a yogurt parfait and one of the large pastries in the case. Everything came out quickly. The service was beyond expectation - super nice, big smiles, the two women knew many of the customers (clearly regulars) and made the overall experience perfect. If I lived closer to District, I would be in every day for my coffee. We took home a bag of the local Mississippi Mud beans and my daughter got a beautiful handcrafted bag for her belongings (they have a very fun, eclectic merchandise wall when you walk in). Overall, excellent coffee, food, atmosphere, and service.

Very pretty establishment and plenty of parking. Service: They offered reservations, which is always nice. Wait time was higher for indoor seating, but outdoor was tolerable, so we sat outside. Hostess was polite and swift. Waitress was interactive and tolerable to our indecisiveness, despite being so busy. They have a huge pond for outdoor eaters to admire, and it provide a beautiful sense of nature to our outdoor experience. Food: Everything we ordered was fantastically prepared/cooked. Everything was seasoned well, objectively. Seasoning was applied JUST enough to taste it, so as to avoid being over bearing to the more sensitive eaters. It was not so light that I felt like I needed to add anything though. The order/timing our food came out was reasonable and expected, based on population at the time. Drinks: Tea and water were both good. I order a regular margarita every time I try a new place, as part of my initial review process, for consistency. Their margarita was 10/10 and arguably the best I've ever had. I'm a red wine drinker, so I tried the "purple cowboy", since purple is my favorite color. This is my new favorite wine. I'll never not order it when I visit this place. We ordered a flight to try their local beers. Their award winning beer was fantastic. I can see why it won an award. I personally am not a fan of that type of beer, but objectively, and from trying dozens of this type over the years, it was good. Final impression: We've since been back to this Brewery multiple times, and will make it a regular option on our date nights. Highly recommend get reservations first, during "busy" hours though.

This is my opinion on the day we went in and do with it as you want…read more When we first arrived, they were busy. There was a Sunday brunch going on. No problem, we ended up waiting, maybe 15 minutes to get a table. There were 4 of us. That wasn't an issue and the staff was great. We got seated at our table and our waiter, I believe his name was Benjamin, was awesome. Great guy, didn't pressure us to order right away. Gave us time to look and would check in on us. All around great service. He was a 5 star! Even the atmosphere, with it being busy, was what you would expect. A lot of people talking and having a good time, no problems, no issues. We were kind of set back in the corner, which I'm thankful for, because we didn't have the noise from the Brunch area. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the food. With 4 people being served, you would think they would get the fries right? They were over seasoned on everyone's plate, horribly over seasoned. You might as well have been dipping them straight into the container of whatever seasoning was on them. Of the 4 orders of French fries, we left 2 orders on the table. I ordered the Gastro Pub Bison Burger, medium. Benjamin even started it was going to have some pink in the middle, and I said yes. The ticket even stated it. I don't know why they even put it on the ticket if they're going to cook it done. The burger ended up being over cooked and dry. It was a Bison burger, so there's plenty of moisture in those burgers when cooked to medium. This thing comes out as a little nothing sized burger. I wasn't impressed with it at all. My wife's order, Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, came out good and she ate it all and really enjoyed it. One daughter had ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. She's had them before at other places and was excited to try their's. Came out ok except for the, what she stated as being too spicy. And again, the fries were over seasoned. My other daughter order a Spicy Dill Flatbread, which turned out really good. She was the only one of us who did like the over seasoned fries. Now when it comes to food, I never send anything back and i don't say anything because we might not be done with ordering. I have the biggest fear about retaliation. You hear the stories from someone you know, of possibly something being a little sketchy when food is reordered or it comes back out, so I just don't do it. I have been here before and it is pretty much the same as I remember it. The staff being great, but the food just being not worth it. The funny thing is it's the Chef's name is on the door when you come in the building. If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed that his cooking staff can't do a medium burger and do some retraining. At least watch what the cooking staff is doing while preparing food that his name is associated with. I don't need to go back there and eat.
