    Cider flight
    Jennifer S.

    My husband and I were looking for a date night option and we found Manic Meadery. This is located near downtown crown point and it's tucked back. Just a gem of a find. Not only is the staff there so friendly but the mead is amazing as well. We sampled a few flights and brought a ton of bottles back home with us. They do not offer food, but you can of course have it delivered. The facility is a medium size so there is bar space and plethora of tables and chairs. Their mead has won several silver and gold medals and they are the founders of the sugar belt mead festival held in May. Needless to say we both really enjoyed this place and will most definitely be back.

    Super chill winery with a wonderful variety of meads, wines and ciders. BYOFood, order a flight and then a enjoy a full glass of your fav selection of the day/evening. Our hostess was thee best. Super friendly and knowledgeable about what was on the menu. I went with a group of friends. Can't wait to have date night here. Don't forget to take a bottle home to enjoy.

    Mead flight with a cider sidecar. We brought our own food. They offered water and came around to re-fill.

    Hubby and I were looking for something to do before dinner today and this winery did not disappoint! Accessible parking, casual, and diverse crowd. The millennial in me appreciated hearing songs by Taking Back Sunday and Sugarcult. Having never had mead, it was nice to try a mead flight! Our favorite was the purple grape and least favorite was the chocolate hazelnut Elliot. Will definitely be back to try more!

    Great little gem in Crown point. I have not bern a huge Mead fan however their meads might turn me into one. The place has a friendly vibe and service was fantastic. I am a dry red guy and I was lucky enough to get a try of their new Malbec and Old Vine Zinfandel which were both great. Can't wait for my next visit!

    Oh my god. It's always a pleasure eating at eris- lovely staff, great vibes, and that blueberry…read morecider with mosaic hops is LET ME TELL YOU. I got the vegan handheld sausage, and I am having a full on "Harry met Sally" moment with my leftovers right now. That was so good my hands are tingling. I immediately want three more, and I am not generally a very hungry person. Also what are those potato chips? Those are the best potato chips I've ever had. 10/10, will devour again.

    When visiting Eris, it's important to manage your expectations, as it wasn't what I expected. This…read moreisn't a bad thing--it's just a statement of fact. I thought it would be more like a brewery where one could spend some time hanging out and unwinding, a "third-place" kind of spot. When I showed up, I found that while there was a patio, it was the kind where you had to be seated by a host. Thus, unless you are at the bar, spontaneous conversations with strangers are less likely. With that said, Eris is a large brewpub with a full bar, including liquor and cocktails, as well as a robust food menu. Wanting only to try some ciders, I took a seat at the bar. I had the opportunity to try a 5-ounce pour each of the E-Phoria and the Van Van Mojo. Both were tasty. The E-Phoria was on the sweeter side, while the Van Van Mojo was less sweet (though not entirely dry) and unique with the addition of blueberries. Neither was mind-blowing, but both were enjoyable in their own right. The bar service was A-OK, especially considering it was a very quiet night. It was friendly and somewhat attentive. I appreciate that there are some closing-related duties that have to be done, and watching the two patrons at the bar like a hawk might make them nervous. Final Verdict: I think the trick with Eris is not to treat it as a "let me get a beverage and hang out" place, but rather a place for a sit-down meal and drinks. With that, I am hoping to return at some point with an empty stomach. However, to be 100% fair, I am not itching to break down the door and come back.

    Third time at cobblestone and this time was for Valentine's Day. We wanted someplace cozy and cute…read moreand Cobblestone set the bar high with a candlelit dinner. They had a terrific Valentine's Day dinner $95 for two people which included a small amuse-bouche each, an appetizer to share, individual entrees, and a dessert to share. We loved the crispy broccolini and were fighting over it. The entrees were huge portions and packed with flavor. I consider myself a scallop connoisseur and in all the restaurants we've ever been in, these scallops were cooked beautifully. They had a perfect sear to them on the outside but cooked perfectly on the inside as well, 10/10 no notes this is the scallop I will compare all future scallops to. And the duck confit, oh my...we also fought over this dish which paired incredibly well with beans to our surprise. Chocolate cake had a beautiful strawberry sauce on the bottom. Everything was incredible including the service. Cobblestone remains our favorite in the area and is loved by all the locals. Thank you for a perfect Valentine's Day dinner.

    Went here for NYE. I was really disappointed by the food. It has good reviews and a friend had been…read moreand liked it. I got the pre fixe menu. The pickled deviled eggs were tasty. It was not an "Amuse bouche" which is a single bite item, it was much more but I'm not complaining about that! The appetizer was grilled octopus over sweet potato mash. I learned that day that sweet and grilled octopus is not a good mix. It was nearly gross. I picked the octopus up and tried to brush off as much of the sweet potatoes and possible. The octopus tasted good but was over cooked. My main was the branzino. It was charred to a crisp and full of bones. It did not taste good and was extremely difficult to eat. I did not taste the German chocolate cake for dessert but was told it was dry and people barely touched it. My husband and others are our table got short rib goulash, which was served like a steak with gravy. It wasn't tender like short rib should be. He said the flavor was good at least. Someone got the fish and chips and said it was flavorless. Someone else got the burger and said it was also charred and over cooked. Over all, pretty disappointed. Cute place with decent service. Hopefully this was just an off night.
