The restaurant has a nice, open concept, a bistro feel that one would expect from the other reviews and their strong coffee culture. We arrived at 12:48, so the end of lunch hour on a Monday and were promptly seated at a two top window seat. Except the orientation of the table was one of us looking out the window and one looking into the restaurant, perpendicular to the window. Not a big deal, but I've seen parallel to the window table seating with both able to look out the window and optimizing that space work much better. There was a bottle of still water and two glasses on the table as their standard practice, nice touch, especially since we had just walked 5 miles of the Virginia Creeper Trail. So, we had researched where to eat in town and felt we had earned a few extra calories and this restaurant had high reviews, so it was our number one selection. We were seated within a couple of minutes we had menus and our order was placed. We were informed though, that they were out of the special of the day, the grilled cheese. Now, I wasn't planning on having a grilled cheese, but immediately I began to wonder, "how does one run out of a grilled cheese" and also I wondered why would you tell me about a special that I didn't know about if you had just run out of it? I wasn't the only one, I overheard a nearby table ask the same thing. Turns out it was a grilled cheese with apple butter and steak. Sounded pretty good, but it probably shouldn't have been mentioned so that I wouldn't want one. Instead, I had "Your Rabbi's Favorite Reuben". Each sandwich on the menu comes with a pickle spear and chips or you can upgrade to fries for +$4 or truffle fries for +$5. So I ordered truffle fries. But they didn't have truffle fries, would I like Parmesan fries instead? No thank you, just the regular fries. And a water. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich with regular fries and a Diet Coke (8 ounces or so in a glass with ice). Which it turns out we were later informed no free refills on the Coke. In my many Reuben reviews, I always note that whether it's a fancy restaurant or a dive, if you can't at least beat out Arby's version, you are in trouble. The first half of my Reuben was okay. Warm throughout, not soggy on either side (a soggy underside is often the Achilles heel to many a Reuben) and was on marbled rye. Portions of components were all represented but not the "best Reuben ever" level or "lots of meat" as reported in other reviews. It was above Arby's, but not by much. It even looked just like Arby's version. It did have a better and more buttery toasted crunch on the bread, both sides. What was wild was biting into the second half of my sandwich, having eaten the mediocre first half. This half had significantly more meat, and you could tell that the meat was not pre-sliced but likely cooked on premise. Is this even the same sandwich?While notably better than the first half, the overall inconsistency of the sum total was disappointing and it was still just a "good" Reuben, as one in a field of many. I wound up just eating mostly the inside components of the second half, since it just wasn't exciting. The fries were an absolute fail and a disappointment. String fries that may have been under the warmer since start of lunch service. You know when a buddy orders a fast food meal and maybe your driving together in the car and finally after he eats all he wants and there are some left over fries that have been in the bag for about 45 minutes, but you eat some anyway? You've done it, admit it. Well that's what we got. Most of them left uneaten. They were terrible. My wife reported the chicken salad sandwich was good. Total bill was $50.53. I left $60 to cover tip. Unfortunately, when a restaurant is overpriced for the value, that extends to the tip too. For $30 per person, our expectations were higher and were not met with this visit. Plus, maybe for that price, one refill on the Diet Coke might be acceptable?

The main building is a lovely and spacious modern inn that balances comfort and traditional elements with open and wide modern floor plans and bright spaces in a pleasing way while retaining the cozy fireplace experiences of more traditional settings. A first floor outdoor veranda opposite the main entrance stretches the length of the main building overlooking the well groomed hillside vineyards and a stocked, picturesque fishing pond. The hillside stretches up the horizon and with the westward facing veranda, offers stunning sunset views along with wine service. Below is a patio off the main restaurant and bar offering even more seating around fire pits with couches and Adirondack chairs with appetizer and drinks available for the bar/restaurant. We toured a king 2 room suite with a large sitting area separated from an equally large and well appointed sleeping area with a private large balcony that also faced the western sunset over the vineyards. The rooms were described as more akin to an apartment whereas the 9 onsite yurts accommodations were described more akin to a condo, described as pet friendly and a quiet community. Behind the yurts is a large barn structure that serves as a tasting room with an outdoor seating area with Edison lights strung around the overhang creating a warm space to enjoy the vineyards end production, currently nine wine vintages. Beside the main building are two much larger shaped yurt structures housing a full fitness center and a spa as will as an outdoor pool. We dined at Hickory for dinner and enjoyed their farm to table, Appalachia oriented menus. That will be a separate review but it hits 10/10 for hospitality, service, presentation and food excellence. We plan a fall trip for an overnight stay when the vineyards come in just before harvest to get the full experience! Also, we initially had a glass of their Chardonnay and being pleased with this, we opted to enjoy a bottle with dinner even though the wine list had equally excellent choices from familiar vineyards. This is highly recommended!

We were seated immediately on a Friday at around 1pm. I love their vegetarian options but this is a place that assumes if you are a vegetarian, that you like and must have onions and mushrooms in every meal. I couldn't find much other than pancakes/pastries/sweet shit that didn't have onions and mushrooms but fortunately, they were able to accommodate my request for the tofu scramble without onions or mushrooms. GF ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with, you guessed it, onions and mushrooms (among other things). My tofu scramble was good but calling it a scramble is slightly misleading as it is actually tofu cubes albeit very crispy and tasty tofu cubes. This dish was probably potatoes. A few spinach leaves and maybe 1/100th of a pepper. I will concede to the fact that some of that volume might have been taken up by mushrooms and onions. The dish was very good regardless and the accompanying salsa added a really nice extra je ne sais quoi. I also really like the pay first and then leave whenever you want model to avoid being held hostage to bad service not to say that they would've provided bad service but it is a risk anywhere. Regarding GF's quesadilla which I did not have the pleasure of sampling bc of onions of mushrooms "I thought it was decent". When I asked if she had any details or specifics to add, she replied, "no".

I never understood his explanation why and he tried to reassure me it was fresh but needless to say it wasn't fresh and it tasted nasty. I asked for a fresh cup and got pushback. Our server said she could brew a new pot but was reluctant because, by this time, it's 2pm, and "probably nobody's going to be drinking coffee at this time of day". Again, they were serving "Mother's Day Brunch. She stomped back and brewed another pot, which appeared to be one of those 20-30C deals. It took another 10 minutes and I finally got my fresh cup of coffee. It wasn't much better than the first one. By this time the server had copped an attitude and wasn't very pleasant. The coffee was awful and the parfait was not good and seemed to have low quality ingredients. I could've put a nicer one together given ten minutes in a grocery store. Overall, I should've just walked out and taken a pass on this place.
