I could only decide (because there were ingenious choices) when our bar server, Hannah, suggested "Sweet Heat." Listed under "Pinsa Flat Bread" it came out 12"x6" thick bread perfectly browned in oven with gooey garlic/mozzarella but, wait, caramelized onions, thick-diced grilled chicken that tasted like bacon. Every two or three inches, one pickled jalapeño perfectly placed for heat that didn't burn, and over it all, drizzled HOT HONEY!!! My mouth was ecstatic. Pretty soon I couldn't wait to cut with my fork and knife to have my third and fourth triangled piece. Sitting, leaning over the high long bar, I just held the sticky, sweet cheesy spicy bread with all ten fingers tipping my head to catch the drips. Passion Orange Guava Cider washed it all down. I made a trip to the restroom and wash my hands then stopped at the kitchen window to rave about the menu with Clayton, the cook. This was all on a summer Monday night in June, low west sun shining into the cozy wood space, baseball silenced on the three screens, fun, toe-tapping music the whole two hours we stayed. The Gibbons couple have scored the times with their courage to do local, unusual creative food with a dialed-back vintage vibe.

The employee that took my call and gave me my pizza was a really, nice guy. Cauliflower crust is always a gamble but this was really good! The texture was great and it held up under the toppings.

Next time!

We've been to Talking Cedars Brewery in Rochester a few times now, both with family when they're…read morevisiting and just the two of us, and we always enjoy our time here! The atmosphere is one of my favorite things about this place. It's fun, lively and has a really great vibe. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and there's a nice little shop right up front with all kinds of cute merchandise. I always enjoy looking around before or after we eat. The food has always been good every time we've been. We've tried several different dishes, and we've never been disappointed. And of course, the beer is really good too! We especially love their Juicy IPA. We usually end up buying a six-pack to take home with us because we enjoy it that much. The only downside I would mention is that the staff can be a little slow and not always the most attentive. They're never unfriendly, which I appreciate, but sometimes it takes a while to get someone's attention or get what you need. It hasn't been enough to keep us from coming back, but it's definitely something I've noticed on our visits. Overall, we really like Talking Cedars. Good food, great beer, a fun atmosphere and a cute little shop make it a place we enjoy coming back to. We'll definitely be back again!

We tried the artichoke dip with crab, which was really good, along with the cheese curds. Our meals were generous portions, and I ordered the salmon cakes--they were flavorful and something I would definitely order again. We finished with the bourbon bread pudding. The dessert portion was on the smaller side and it was definitely sweet, but still very tasty! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a casual distillery feel that made it a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy lunch. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch--the food was good, portions were generous, and the service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

Pros: Chill lounge/sitting area at the front corner with sofas, a low bar (accessibility friendly) and board games. Big tables to accommodate groups and various bar seating. Large brewery menu screens with large range and the food looked good. Tbh we came for brews so can't comment on food. The Wildman Beer brand was so-so. Some better than others! Cons: FOH staff interaction. Why we love pubs/breweries is because of the chill, friendly, conversational flow of FOH; their knowledge of the beers and/or cocktails, their passion for sharing it with new customers so they come back again and again ... this vibe fell short at Wildman. TL;DR Good for a basic group of people looking for a brewery experience in town with room for large groups. Not for those who are expecting an awesome brewery experience -- a la PDX, DEN, PHX, ATX or SEA.

But when I saw that they opened up a location in Olympia and Steve and I were going to Olympia for a show it made perfect sense to go to this new location. Downtown where our show was is super walkable and this brewery is right there. When we went in what escaped my attention at the Raymond location was that I was particularly impressed with their own mead selection. And the mead did not disappoint in the slightest. The first mead I had was their Oak Aged Classic Mead. Such fantastic balance in body and the oak flavor was truly impressive! I got another mead from the list, the Sneaky Bastard Meer. It's called meer I believe due to the five different kinds of hops they put into it. Great floral and honey flavored highlights! Our experience here was excellent! Steve enjoyed his drink selections as well! Definitely returning for more mead enjoyment!

I think our only complaint is wishing they were open more days of the week because sometimes we only get to come one night and would want to come more :) Some of the outdoor seating areas have heat lamps which is also nice. Staff are friendly but you do stand in line to order, bus your own table, and go get yourself more beers. The only bummer about that is if you're mid pizza and want another beer you have to stand in the food ordering line again and wait for people to decide and pay when all you want is a quick beer added to your tab.

He wasn't particularly friendly when we first got there, and it did feel like the bill came pretty quick once we finished eating, but nothing that ruined the experience. Where I was disappointed was the portion size. I ordered the grilled chicken club, and for $15 for the sandwich alone, I was expecting a little more. That thing was tiny. I swear it was gone in about 3.5 bites. Then it's another $3 to add fries, which were good, but now I'm paying $18 for a sandwich and fries when the chicken breast itself looked like maybe 3-4 oz. A couple hours later I placed an online order for a burger for my wife since she was at an event nearby and was hungry. Same thing there. The burger tasted good, but the portion was pretty small for what we paid. That's really my biggest takeaway. The food was there taste-wise, the portions just weren't. I don't mind paying restaurant prices for good food, but at those prices I'd at least like to leave feeling like I actually ate something. I'm not saying I wouldn't be back, but maybe just for the beer and some fries.

The hook tender Pizza was a hit- tasty and generously loaded with toppings. they have indoor outdoor seating as well as sell branded merchandise. My only complaint is it took us about an hour to get our pizza so I think they may have forgot to put my order in until they saw me come into get another beer? ;) it was either that or possibly they were cooking out of order, as I seen people have their food before us? I don't mind if delayed, but I do wish it was communicated. Obviously, I'm still giving a five star because everyone was very friendly, food and drinks were delicious. (Just communication of waiting times is key.)
