    Crimson Sunset Blueberry Cider

    Adorable place! Great atmosphere! Fun craft beers and ciders from all over Iowa. Scary to try new things but free samples gave us free range to find what we loved. Service was awesome and friendly. Wings were excellent. Highly recommend the blueberry cider!

It has a lot more room than expected with enough space for live music. As for the drinks and food they're good stuff also. The prices can be high but it's not crazy for the atmosphere and quality. Basically this is one of the first places one encounters when entering town from the east. It's located in the Irish Cottage Inn & Suites. The hotel itself is very nice and has lots of amenities of its own if wanting to stay there. As for the restaurant itself it's one of the highlights. It's about $8 for an Irish coffee, which is a classic in the morning, evening, or whenever. Amazingly they have non dairy options including Bailey's Dairy Free Toffee Cream. It's about $18 or more for an entree which is a lot. We were able to find a few plant based options. I got the Roasted Squash Bowl. This has broccolini, farro, heirloom tomato relish, pickled red cabbage, and white beech mushrooms. An earthy flavor. She had the Vegan Shepherd's Pie. An alternative made with faux beef and mushroom gravy There's also plenty of meaty options like beef medallions. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants around here. It's closed Mondays. They amazingly have a few things for vegans and vegetarians.

Obviously assembled by someone who appreciates food. The cucumber slices were just the right thickness - and an ample amount. The slaw, the pork, the cilantro, the sauce, the bun - it all came together for a delicious experience. And the onion rings were lightly battered with thick onions - superb. I didn't take a pic - but Rick enjoyed his brisket. Other customers were raving about the ribs the day we were there. We each had a Mud Run beer and pleasant conversation with the staff. I am seriously planning an extra trip to visit Mom just so I can stop to have a Mud Run lunch on the way.

It was not so we hadn't eaten all day so she ate the fries and basically I tortilla with some of the vegis'. We said we'd pay for a taco and the fries, they couldn't do that , they'd probably comp the meal well waited 10 minutes to find out if that was gonna happen. No dice, they just ignored us, and some other girl came to the register saying the manager left, and I see the original server dip in to the bathroom. Sooo I just paid the bill and left 18% i know stupid me. Not going not recommending this place apparently money is the bottom. Line, these servers are something else.​

The ambiance, friendly people & the staff was great except when it came to our bill the waiter messed up both our bill. Items were swapped vice versa on our bill & the waiter went up & rang one of the bill up & threw ticket away for some reason. Also I had calamari, it was an appetizer but it didn't arrive till after the main course. I thought the waiter mention it was on the house since it arrived later. But when we received the bill, the calamari which should have been on my bill was on my friend's & not mine. So afterwards, we reviewed everything and our bill was still $20 or more over charged, so for some reason the waiter stated couldn't retrieve the itemized receipt & he would need to call manager from home to get this resolved. So instead of waiting, we decided to let it go & pay the bill. Overall food was awesome, friendly atmosphere, very nice place, staff nice as well, only thing if you're splitting the bill just make sure to check your bill to make sure it's correct before you pay! 1st time review for this restaurant as part of a Yelp elite squad!
