It serves European-style foods (e.g., charcuterie, braided pretzels, dips, wings, pottages/soups, harvest salads, lobster rolls, flatbreads, and desserts) and award-winning KingView meads, wines, and hard ciders; PA beers and liquors; cocktails; and non-alcoholic beverages.
My husband and I ate one lunch here. An employee very promptly and courteously served us. Here are my ratings for what we ate:
Charcuterie Nordic Board - 5 stars - We got the "Serf's Meal" for 1-2 people, but much larger boards are available. It consisted of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables with dip, dried fruits, crackers, breads, and nuts. It was our favorite food here, and I highly recommend ordering it.
Gatherer Flatbread - 4.5 stars - This thin-crust pizza was topped with sauce, mozzarella, tomato, mushroom, spinach, roasted red pepper, and red onion. It was the perfect size for me to eat. Eat it promptly before it gets slightly soggy.
Coastal Warmth Lobster Roll - 4.5 stars - This Connecticut lobster roll was served warm with butter. My husband liked the amount of meat and its flavor. Eat it promptly before the lobster meat gets rubbery.
Drink Flight - 5 stars - A flight consists of four 3.5-ounce pours. You get to choose from dozens of dry, semi-sweet, and sweet meads, wines, and hard ciders as well as beers. One of the flavors that I wanted was out of stock, but I greatly enjoyed the sweet Banana Berry hard cider, Late Harvest hard cider, Flagship Niagara white wine, and Pink Lemonade mead.
Considered the oldest of all alcohols, the Vikings used mead in religious rituals, weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies. KingView sources its honey from local beekeepers and donates a percentage of all sales to fight the declining bee population. Customers may purchase bottles of alcohol in person or online for personal or wholesale use.
For our meal, we paid a total price of $65 plus a tip.
On certain days, the business holds public events such as live music and trivia, and customers may also rent the space for private events.
