Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

We started with the candied bacon and French toast sticks. Best French toast sticks I've ever had the texture was perfect - crispy outside, soft fluffy inside. Candied bacon was definitely candied and very sweet... but still good. I had the chorizo burrito and my husband had the breakfast tacos. Great portion sizes, we were stuffed. Highly recommend and would love to come back next time we're in the area!

It was absolutely killer, no notes. Also the cold brew was some of the best I've ever had. I drink my cold brew black and this one had such a smooth and unique flavor.

Smoke on the Water has really good food, and one thing I especially appreciate is that they have…read moregenuinely good gluten-free options. It's always nice when dietary options feel like an actual part of the menu rather than an afterthought. The food we've had has consistently been delicious, and there's definitely a lot to recommend here. My biggest drawbacks are the hours and the prices. Their hours can make it difficult to actually get there when we want to, and it's pretty pricey for breakfast/brunch. Especially when feeding more than one person, it adds up quickly. That said, when we do make it in, the food itself is absolutely worth complimenting, and having solid gluten-free choices is a huge plus. Great food and great options I just wish they were open more often and a little easier on the wallet!

Definitely recommend stopping and enjoying all that the farm has to offer.

My favorite crepe is the buckwheat with spinach, feta, mushrooms (and sometimes egg). Omg to DIE for. The employees are friendly and helpful in suggesting something if you're unsure. You will not regret going here, just make sure to check the hours before heading their way! They do have indoor seating as well as outdoor. They take Apple Pay, cash or card. The inside is decorated cutely and gives you that "bakery vibe". Love this place!!

Hardest review I have ever written. We were thrilled to try this place, and horribly let down by…read morethe experience, specifically by the server. The good - the atmosphere is great, the vibe pretty accurately replicating a French bistro. The food (what we did get) was good. Steak frites was awesome. The bad - never has a server failed so miserably. How? 1. Brought the wrong wine, then lied by insisting the house red was in fact a Côtes du Rhône. 2. Forgot two soups, delivered our entrees, said the soups were "coming" and reported "almost here" when we were half done with dinner. 3. Wrong dressing delivered on the salad, then delivered a different dressing with the request for extra. 4. The topper - the manager's comp dessert was either wrong or the pastry chef has never seen a real Basque Cheesecake. The manager was appreciative for the feedback, but the "fix" was to not make us pay for the wine that was wrong or the soup that never came. Not exactly the experience that will make us rush back. I know that staffing "up north" is tough, but this place was full of servers who appeared well in control and efficient. We drew the very short straw. Eat here at your own peril.

Iron Goat Coffee is such a great addition to the Walloon Village!…read more We recently stayed nearby and walked over to IGC on a Friday morning and again on Saturday morning... The Friday morning visit was five stars. We walked in and must have hit it at just the right time as there was no line. My husband and I ordered the lavender chai latte off the Spring time special menu. I ordered mine with oat milk and his with regular and asked them to make both of them dirty. We were both super happy with this selection. We didn't have to wait very long even though there was only one person working that day. The next morning, there was a long line and two people working... and the specialty menu was no longer available. Even so, they did let my husband order the lavender chai latte again. I went with a flat white with oat milk and light lavender. We waited quite awhile and noticed others around us did as well. It was fine since we were not in a rush, but not the best experience. Clearly the staff were stressed with the rush of people and so many orders to fill. The coffees were once again delicious. There is a limited food menu and a small retail area, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. There isn't any other gourmet coffee in the area to my knowledge, so if you are wanting a fancy coffee, this may be your only option. If you hit it right, you will have an incredible experience, but if there is a line during a busy time, be prepared for a bit of a wait. Either way, enjoy your time at Walloon Lake - it's magical!

We…read morewere running tardy for our reservations due to flooded roads, but the staff was very understanding. Placed at a cozy table indoors & bottled water arrived immediately. Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week
