On this Good Friday I wanted to get one last fish sandwich for lent. I typed "Fish sandwich" into…read moreGoogle Maps and this place popped up. It had good reviews on Yelp, so I decided to give it a go. And I'm glad I did. Everything was excellent. The outdoor seating was nice, the workers were friendly, my waitress Jae was very attentive, and most importantly, the fish sandwich was top notch. It certainly seemed to be freshly made and not frozen. I ordered fries on the side in addition to Cole slaw. The slaw was nice and creamy. While I generally don't like battered fries, these were pretty tasty. The only slight negative was the cost. At almost $30 for my sandwich plus a beer, it seemed a little pricey to me. But sometimes you have to pay for quality. I will return.

Every style I tried in the flight was good...they obviously put the effort into getting their stuff right. They live up to being called a "craft" brewery. The atmosphere is fantastic. Very nice pavilion to keep out of the weather. They also have some open air tables in a little garden and included a good size fire pit to boot. They have live music from time to time and it looks like they have food available occasionally as well. The bartenders were both super friendly and helpful. It's definitely a place we'll visit again when we're out that way. Highly recommend Whitehorse if you're willing to drive a bit and it's a must-do if you're reasonably close.

Really cool stop in the middle of nowhere. We ventured out this way to try a couple more stops on…read moreour Laurel Highlands Passport. It was quite a hike to get to this area. I think it was about 25 minutes or so from Deep Creek Maryland. The brewery is located in the owners/main brewers garage. Right next to his house, among a bunch of other houses. If they wouldn't have had a sign we would never had known. Once inside we were greeted and warmly welcomed. I actually thought the man and women (who did indeed turn out to be husband and wife) were the owners. They seemed to take such pride in everything and were so hospitable to everyone that came in, almost like you would expect if going to a loving and doting relative. She popped popcorn for patrons and was handing out bowls. She was full of stories and seemed to really just like working there. Her and her husband filled us in on the brewery and its history. The beers now were surprisingly decent. I got the glimmer of hop comet. They had a winter warmer on tap with like the best name Fra-Gee-Lay, Must be Italian. I can't imagine ever finding myself in this neck of the woods again but I sure would order that beer again if I ever saw it on tap. For the locals this place should definitely be in your rotation.

Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Yough River Brewing hits the three things I look for in a brewery - food availability, outdoor seating/dog friendly, and of course the beer. Went here after golfing with a buddy and had a solid IPA and a pretty good Oktoberfest. The variety available is good enough that most people should be able to find something they like. A really nice outdoor seating area with a couple of fire tables and Adirondack chairs makes it comfortable and inviting. I happened to be there on a Sunday afternoon and I think a football game was going on or just ended because there were a bunch of unsupervised kids running around the tables. Not that they were over the top obnoxious, but they were definitely distracting. Other than the timing, I enjoyed the ambiance of the place and the beers were good enough that I'd gladly make the 40 minute drive down again. 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

I got the French toast with blueberries with a side of home fries. Some of the best French toast I've ever had. It was so good that we decided to come back for breakfast the next day.

I'm very happy to have came for breakfast and would definitely recommend!

I said it's not a problem, I understand as I too am in the restaurant business & I just wanted to place a to go order. Twenty minutes later I got to place my order & told her I'd be just outside as I had my dog in the car, & she said ok. About 40 minutes later she said my food was ready. I go in to get my order & notice that 2 four tops (2 tables with 4 people) have not only made their orders. They actually had been served their food & some were already finished eating. I didn't mention anything to her, but in any of the 3 restaurants I help manage that's a huge NO NO. That take out customer's meal would have been comp'ed & they would be receiving a sincere apology for the inconvenience. I can't say for sure if the food was good, as it probably sat in the kitchen waiting for me to receive it for 25-35 minutes by my estimation. It's sad as I had really been looking forward to giving their food a sincere try.

We ended up hanging out for awhile and playing games while watching football. We didn't order any food so I can't comment on that but others were enjoying it. We will definitely come back.

There is a front window area with tables, a long space set up with tables and then a back section with the bar.

The initially forgot to put the crab on them, but it was quickly remedied. The combination of flavors was perfect. I had a burger and it was good as well. My husband chose the Valentine's special which came with a salad, pasta dish and chocolate cake. I like that they have both beer and seltzer that they make. I sampled a few beers but ultimately ordered a pear seltzer. My husband had the Oktoberfest. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

Super cute cozy igloo winter wonderland experience!…read more We reserved an igloo for a nice dinner after Thanksgiving and it was a nice relaxing evening after the busy holiday.

Bella Terra Vineyards is a winery, restaurant, and event venue in the small town of Hunker in…read moreWestmoreland County. It sells a variety of dry and sweet wines (e.g., red, white, rose, sparkling, and cider), cocktails, mocktails, and beers. Some vineyards are on the grounds as are many barrels and bottles of wines. The restaurant has both indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating in lakeside cabanas and winter igloos. It is open for brunch/lunch and dinner. It is a nice setting for daily dining as well as special events such as weddings, bridal and baby showers, and private parties. Furthermore, the website lists activities such as bingo, painting and candle-making classes, live music with dancing, and more. For my husband and me, I made a reservation for lunch in an igloo. Our igloo was large enough to fit eight people and cost $50 plus foods and drinks. A larger "party dome" fits up to 14 people and has a fee of $75. The temperatures outside were very cold, but our igloo was kept warm by an electric fireplace and a zippered door. Throughout our meal, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. The Bistro menu listed shareables (e.g., pretzel sticks and charcuterie board), several smash burgers, several flatbreads, mains (e.g., fish and chips, cajun chicken pasta, and quinoa bowl), several salads, several handhelds (e.g., turkey melt, veggie wrap, and Italian panini), many sides, and a couple of desserts. Prices were moderate. (The menus for Sunday Brunch and a group Gathering differ.) The waitress first brought our Sweet Wine-Cookie Flight (4.5 stars), which consisted of the following pairs: Diamond Reo with Brown Sugar Pop Tart, Sweet Finley with Chocolate Salted Caramel, Riesling with Cookies and Cream, and Rose Cider with Strawberry Crunch. The wine glasses came in a wooden box, which was slightly too small, so I needed several minutes of time to carefully pull each wine glass out of the box. I, however, did enjoy the sweet flavors of the wines and cookies. Next our waitress brought out our shareable and two mains. The Hummus Plate (4.5 stars) consisted of fresh and tasty hummus, feta, olives, top seedz crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, carrots, celery, and tzatziki. My main course was Crab Cakes (4 stars) with a substituted side of salad. Two crab cakes were a decent size of 4 ounces each, but I would have preferred more crab meat. I liked the garlic aioli. My husband's main course was the Cali Burger (4 stars) with a side of fries. In a brioche bun, a beef patty was topped with fontina cheese, applewood-smoked bacon (which he would prefer be crispier), avocado, avocado ranch, lettuce, and pickles (which he commented were nicely crunchy and sweet-sour) (no tomato at his request). The total price for the flight, shareable, two mains, and a soda was $98 plus sales tax and tip (plus the earlier $50 fee for the igloo).

When we pulled in, I was wondering what it would be like because it has a strip mall type facade. So when I went in, I was pleasantly surprised at the unique decor. Some stained glass and some really neat artwork. You can see the kitchen and the pizza oven, Service was a little slow at times, but overall pretty good. For example, we were seated and it took a bit of time for someone to greet us. Then a lot of attention was paid until we ordered, then we had to hunt someone down to ask for our check. Maybe it was an off day. Overall, though, our server was knowledgeable about the food and beer options and was friendly and courteous. It was an interesting menu. Pizzas and ramen bowls are not usually things I'd expect to be served at the same restaurant, but they are both apparently highlight of their menu. I ordered the cauliflower appetizer and my husband ordered a salad. The cauliflower had an amazing sauce that gave it a kick but was also sweet. A perfect combination. For our main entrees, I ordered the daily ramen bowl special and my husband ordered the taco special. He loved his tacos. I was a bit underwhelmed by my ramen. The noodles were in a weird clump and it was somehow both too hot and too cold. It did have nice flavor overall, though. The beers, they weren't our favorite, but they weren't bad either. Overall an enjoyable experience and someplace I'd go back to.
