    Exterior of a cottage on the property
    Matt G.

    It's only so-so. In terms of ambiance, it's a home run. You can eat outside on the large veranda and have stunning views of the river and the beautifully landscaped gardens. The inside of the building is equally beautiful. The service leaves something to be desired. It felt like a bunch of angry women who either didn't want to be there, or who thought they were better than everyone, if that makes sense. The ones you want to pull aside and say, "Lose the attitude. You're a server, not a CEO." Somewhat slow to refill glasses and bring things like silverware, and such. Now, the biggest disappointment was the food. Given the way the place looked, I expected great food. The side salad was excellent. Appetizing and visually appealing. But then it went quickly downhill with my club sandwich. Instead of fresh meats, it felt like I was served welfare meat. Look at my picture. Disgusting "round" ham. Fresh cooked and natural ham does not look like this and isn't round. This round ham looks like a compressed, reconstituted ham shaped into a roll. Very fatty. And it had an odd taste that was overpowering and ruined the club. It was really inedible and I had to pick it off but the taste permeated the sandwich. Low grade mayonnaise. Chips were soggy. French fries were OK. Iced tea was flavorful, it just took way too long to get a refill.

    We had a really nice dinner here while staying near Ohiopyle for summer vacation. They are busy on weekends, so the four of us couldn't manage to get a coveted seat on the narrow veranda with short notice on a Friday night. While we couldn't watch the river while we ate, the interior design was historic and cute, and we had plenty of river watching in the garden while waiting for our table to be ready. There is parking on site, or walk over from your digs if you're spending the night while on the GAP trail. The menu is long and enticing, and everything we ordered--steak, porkchop, fish, pasta--was delicious! Service was friendly but rather slow, however (probably short staffed like everywhere else). I was disappointed that the import shop from India is only open during the day on weekends, as we were hoping to browse while waiting.

    Trout stuffed with spinach, mashed potatoes

    Very happy to find a good restaurant in this small town that has very limited dining options. It's located as the name implies on a lovely clear river that is popular with fly fishers. The house has a winding porch from which you can dine while observing the river. There's a gorgeous garden all around the house. Service good and prices reasonable. Full bar/wine list. Full menu. Good appetizers. We had a hummus platter first. Husband had a Mediterranean chicken dish which was nicely grilled and I had trout stuffed with spinach. The fish was slightly overcooked but I find that is frequently the case in eating out unless it's a seafood restaurant. We didn't have a reservation but just walked in. You can eat inside, on the porch, or on tables in the garden for take out.

    See all

    Had a very nice dinner here on a kayaking trip. Wine selection was decent, service was friendly we'd return.

    Food is good but a little bit expensive but worth it for special evasion and it is on a river where the sun shines

    Food is excellent. Relaxing environment. Only recommendation would be to move tables a bit. Very tight seating

I still love the decor and the photos around the place. Ramps and eggs were amazing. I guess it's ramp season (very strong onion) and i couldn't pass it up. It had whipped Ricotta and pesto on fresh sourdough. It was incredible. A ton of flavor and the bread was phenomenal. I was also informed the Philly was amazing. Loved the flavors.

When you walk in, there is a dining area to the right and a coffee shop with pastries to the left. Though we had to wait a bit for a table, we enjoyed looking at the yummy treats in the case as everything looked fabulous. Sunday is brunch so both breakfast and lunch menus were available. My daughter got a burger and Caesar salad, my husband got an omelette, and I got some onion rings and free rein to eat off their plates. Everything was delicious but the onion rings were a standout! It reminded me of a blooming onion in the best way! The strawberry jelly for the toast was also among the best I've ever had, and clearly made in house as it tasted so fresh. Our server was very pleasant but things moved a little slowly and we had to ask multiple times for our side of dressing. I was also shocked to see that a cup of coffee was $5! Overall though, this place was a delight and I wish I would have saved room for dessert.
