    Snap pea sooo good!
    Nidhi P.

    We love this place! We went back to back 2 nights in a row. The menu changes every week and the cocktails are amazing with good amount of alcohol & they're at good price! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Thirsty for a quality cocktail? Stroll through Main Street West Redding and grab a seat inside this cozy location or if weather permits they have outside seating out front. The service is super friendly and fun and can provide recommendations if you are confused after reviewing the menu. A lot of savory and interesting blends that make for some delish beverages. They do not serve food but you are allowed to order from some of the local establishments. If you are in town come in and grab a seat.

    I was debating between 3 and 4 stars because it was definitely a 3.5-star experience but that's not…read morean option. Service was great. Ambiance is lovely--great decor, comfortable seating, a gorgeous bar, and live music. Fun cocktails and a solid wine list (though the "by the glass" options are a bit limited). Ultimately, though, I think the ambiance and service are doing the heaviest lifting here--it's a bit of a "vibe dining" spot. The food is definitely good, don't get me wrong...but it's not "wow," which was a little disappointing given that you're gonna be spending $$$$. (Most entrees are $30+ and they're pretty standard fare that's not especially inventive--steaks, a few pastas, obligatory short rib dish, elevated burgers, salmon.) We liked everything just fine but I didn't taste a dish that made me go "oh man, I gotta come back for that." Instead I'm thinking "maybe I should try something else next time I'm in." I do like that your entree comes with a salad. The physical menu itself could also use some work, as its quality doesn't match the care and luxury atmosphere of the place overall. Numerous misspellings and a lack of specificity on ingredients in several of the dishes that leave the diner unclear on what, exactly, they're getting. For example, there's an entree that's described simply as "grilled chicken breast served with rosemary potato wedges and grilled zucchini." Are there spices or sauces on that chicken? Are we talking just plain salt/pep? Herbs? What? Anyway, it's fine. It's a solid date night option. We'll be back.

    Excellent burger! Cooked to a perfect medium with just the right amount of seasoning to bring out…read morethe great beef flavor. A toasty bun and a sweet onion relish, lettuce and tomato rounded it out nicely. It came accompanied by steak fries with a nice crisp to the outside and a warm, soft potato center. Delicious! A Hendricks gin and tonic washed it down perfectly. The waitress was fantastic! They lost a star only because the hostess really made me feel rushed; even though the kitchen was open for another 30 minutes.

We raved about the pierogies all night and my risotto and scallops were delicious!

Very admirable and apparently they do this often to support other causes, as well. We were happy to dine at a restaurant that cares about the local community. That's what got me (& my wife) in the door. Now, for the brass tacks: Atmosphere: Very nice looking place. Clean. Lively. Loved the front window open on a warm day and the outdoor seating as we walked in. Service: Hostess and Server were both very friendly, attentive and helpful. Both checked in on us, often. Which, for us, is super important not to feel forgotten. No problem here. Food: Uncorkd Burger (sub grilled chicken), Vegetable Risotto w/Salmon, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Homemade Vanilla Bread Pudding Cake & Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. My wife said, convincingly, that the Grilled Chicken Burger was good. (and that's saying something. (She's super picky about chicken sandwiches) My Vegetable Salmon Risotto was terrific. Fresh, bright, creamy, & flavorful. The salmon may have been cooked slightly over, but only slightly. Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were very good. Not made in-house. The desserts were delicious. Bread pudding with Caramel Drizzle! Oh my! Light & Delicious. Stick Toffee Pudding Cake with a decadent dark chocolate sauce. Delightful. We took those desserts to go and had them at home. Delicious. Terrific experience, tonight. I would go back in a heartbeat. Certainly would recommend. 4.2

    Had another great experience w/ a few setbacks. I miss the bread basket. The rolls are fine, but…read morethe former basket of varietals was special. Also, what happened to the Kona coffee rub ?? Was our absolute favorite & husband reported the steak was bland without it. On a positive, love they acquired a pastry chef. My to-go Coconut Cake was divine. The Ice Cream Affogato is brilliant in its simplicity! The Sautéed Mushrooms incredible! How much can you do w/ a mushroom ?? Ask the chef! Also, think they have the best Mac n Cheese (tho I do miss the fresh herb component). Still a favorite, but hoping some of the former glory is restored on my next visit!

    Willoughby's absolutely never misses. I can't think of anything I've had that didn't wow me, and…read morethe service is impeccable. Even the complementary bread and butter is high quality--a bit torturous, in fact, since you don't want to spoil your appetite for the what's coming. Go big and get the Delmonico ribeye. Perfection. The oysters with the perfectly vinegary migonette sauce is a great starter, as is the butcher's bacon. Also, pro tip, you can get the salads in half sizes and you wouldn't go wrong with any of them. The caesar is my favorite, but recently had an outstanding wedge as well, with plenty of bleu cheese.

    This is Berks County's only specialty shop, with Chairman's Selections and a wine consultant (who…read morehas great advice and understands that not everyone can afford the priciest stuff). He used to write a wine column in the local paper, and I don't know why it went away. This store is due for a redesign, so aesthetically, it is not awash in muted lighting and warm wall colors like the newer stores. But they pack a lot in a small space, and I have been pleased with the ever rotating selection of dry roses now that it is summer, many from France, the best region for these being Provence. If you like boxed wine, the biggest selection is here, and don't laugh, because some of it is perfectly drinkable. You will not believe how many candy-flavored vodkas are out there now; but this stuff must be selling, because there is almost a wall of it. There is large section of close-outs in the front, and I occasionally find something I like there, but that also means it is being discontinued in PA stores. This store is also where you will find the county's best selection of sparkling wines, though they seem to be either high end or very low, not much in the middle range. I heard the even-newer store design is a big kiosk in the middle and the look of a market, which sounds lovely. They sell useful wine totes that hold 6 bottles and are only a dollar, good for groceries and other shopping too. Very nice staff too, though there is one person who routinely calls women customers "sweetie" and "doll" (even after being asked NOT to by a number of women) which management should correct. It is condescending rather than polite.
