The space is cute, with a small souvenir shop tucked inside, giving it that "local charm" feel. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match the name. Service leaned toward... un-happy. A touch of rudeness here, a lack of warmth there, and the "no refills for regular coffee" policy felt a little stingy for a place serving simple breakfast fare. Speaking of simple -- eggs and bacon shouldn't take a small eternity, yet there we were, waiting and waiting. Overall: adorable setting, but a bit overrated. Cute café, just be prepared to exercise your patience -- and maybe bring backup caffeine.

The menu seems to be all over the place. I wouldn't call the cuisine any particular genre since there were items that categorically fall under "Mediterranean" as well as "Asian-fusion". Two things in particular that didn't make sense to me. The tofu on the Mediterranean bowl. Tofu marinated in soy sauce is not what comes to mind when I'm thinking of any country in the Mediterranean. Also, the tasting menu has an option for an entree choice of veal shank. I was informed there would be an upcharge since it's a pricier menu item, which is totally acceptable. What I was not prepared for was a giant cut of meat (it had to have been 10oz or more) with a huge bone still attached. The portion did not fit with a tasting menu. Luckily, my husband has the appetite of a small horse so he finished it.

My favorite restaurant in West Virginia, hands down!…read more Why? 1.) Their service is outstanding 2.) The location is outstanding 3.) Their food is outstanding After years of passing by this place and literally driving up to it a couple of times and wanting to go in, I never did. I don't know why. I guess I was saving it for the special night me and my girlfriend had here. It was an epic night in all-regards. It was a fall evening and we had reservations for 6:30 pm. It was a perfect time as the sun was starting to set and the temps were just right but the pole heater made it that much better. We started off with: - Big Timber IPA (me) - Dandelion Martini (gf) - House Bread and Butter (share) - Spread Plate (share) The beer is always my go to at local restaurants because it pairs well with any food. My girlfriend's martini was super tasty and she enjoyed it a lot. FYI: I love when local restaurants support local businesses like Big Timber. Good for you! The bread was freshly baked and I believe the butter is made in house. Very good! The spread plate consisted of three pates to which all were incredible but the smoked trout was our favorite. The cucumber salad and oils and herbs were very flavorful and paired excellent with the crostini's. I could eat this every day. Highly recommended. Our entrees: - Vegetarian Delight (me) - Striped Bass (gf) The vegetarian delight is one of my favorite dishes at any restaurant. It's the perfect mix of flavors and textures in one dish. The dumplings packed a punch of flavors, the soy garlic chili Korean rice omelet was superb, the aji panco miso was flavorful, the rice and vegetable croquets tasted like a little pocket of heaven, the poblano mayo added even more flavor to each bite I took and the jicama salad was excellent. I highly recommend you get this even if you're not vegetarian, it's that good, trust me! My girlfriend's striped bass was cooked to perfection. The tamarind chili sauce it was cook in was the perfect balance with the light flaky texture of the fish. Add the lemon ginger rice to each bite of fish for an umami explosion. Then add on top of that the garlic chips takes this dish over the top to flavor heaven. She loved it and so did I as I finished the remaining portion she couldn't finish. This place has so much to offer in all-regards to the interior and exterior. It's very clean and the staff are top notch. I wish we could have booked a room upstairs the night we ate here though because that would have made our night that much better, but every room was booked. We ended up stayed at a local place right over the hill because we wanted to celebrate and didn't want to drive far. Sadly the place we stayed at was horrible but this place took away from that experience and made us have a beautiful evening regardless. We are looking forward to coming back in the next couple months for a nice fall evening dinner and exploring your menu(possibly the six course tasting menu) and eating a wide variety of your seasonal appetizers, entrees, and deserts and having drinks on the patio to take in that view or in the bar area to enjoy conversation with locals. Thank you for the wonderful evening :) 6 Stars ;)

The third in our party got a burger and fries...he fancies himself a bit of a burger/fry connoisseur and said it was a really good burger and fries--only critique was he might take a couple of the red onions off the burger as they were 'fresh' and a bit strong.

The ambiance, while being a large (and in our case relatively empty) laid back dining hall, the views of the valley are unsurpassed. We will definitely be back
