Our sommelier, Molly, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and so very friendly. She made us feel like we were old friends almost immediately and set the stage for what was to come. And that can only be described as a tasting experience that was truly sublime. All three of us truly loved every aspect of out time at the castle, from the ambience of the building itself, to the selection of wines available, and as I've already mentioned, our interaction with Molly. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

This is a uniquely intimate restaurant in Berkeley Springs and an unexpected find thanks to Yelp…read more We sat side by side at a little antique chest of drawers fitted into the bar. There is a written menu in chalk but we got the idea that is only a rough guide. Listen to what the owner suggests and feel free to ask for modifications. Now that COVID restrictions are eased there was a large group in the middle and another two-person table occupied. We did not feel cramped. My wife had a small charcuterie plate and I the chicken salad on a bed of greens. Both were excellent.

Met a buddy in Columbia for beer and in our discussion, we started taking wine, from Paso Robles to…read moreMaryland. He told me Maryland specialized in Cabernet Franc and Viognier and I knew nothing about Big Cork prior to arrival, but dad it was named as a top 10 tasting room by USA Today. Bold claim, especially coming from California. It was an absolutely beautiful day to visit Big Cory on Sunday. U called to confirm I didn't need a reservation, was told I didn't. That was nice, so I continued my drive to the winery, following three other vehicles that turned into the winery grounds. Ample parking, stunning grounds and views of the surrounding area. A big white building with a surround patio greeted me as I walked in, taking in the ambiance of the place. It was busy with patrons sitting outside, standing at mo sitting at the bar. I was greeted by an English chap, names Andy who said he works be right with me. Gave me a few minutes to look around and take in the experience. Andy greeted me and told me to grab any seat. Told him o was new to Maryland wine, as it was my first time at any winery outside of Paso Robles. I guts my expectations were high but I dialed them back as I ordered my tasting flight. Not a big white fan, I was impressed I'm with their Chardonnay, not buttery like the California. It was light, crisp and fruity. A very well done white. In fact I enjoyed it more than the Sauvignon Blanc, which if drinking a white I usually lean towards. Found this a bit too sweet. On to the reds, which is what I was reliably looking forward to. Andy took time to explain each wine, some characteristics and processes behind each glass. Their Meritage, a red blend was okay but was missing something for my liking. I did however enjoy the Cab Franc as single varietal. Never got to the Siberian Ice but was treated to the Syrah, Nebbiolo and Black Label Malbec. Those last two tasting were wonderful. My tastings done, I ordered a glass of the Rose Brut as I took care of Andy and my bill. I did walk out with a bottle of Chardonnay and Cab Franc. Overall a wonderful tasting with some good wines. Worth checking out but being from Paso I'm not going out of my way to find East Coast wines. I know what my palate enjoys but a little change now and then can be a good thing. If I get t girlfriend out, we will be back.

After hearing and reading the reviews of this place I had high expectations...my hunbun surprised…read moreme with a Saturday reservation here. Once I learned where we were going I was sooooooo excited!! Anyhoo- about an hour and a half away- we ventured here on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I really don't like going out on Valentine's Day. Everything's usually overpriced and restaurants are crazy busy...I honestly prefer just to stay at home but my hunnie had other plans for us hahaha! Despite the snow that's still lingering, turned out to be a perfect day for a winery adventure. Beautiful scenic views of the mountains, a playlist of Teena Marie, Sade and auntie Nita was definitely giving amazing vibes...the company of my Superman...just a perfect day! We had a reservation which is recommended. Our reservation was in the heated tent, outside area where they had live entertainment and he was pretty good! Sang a variety of selections. What I didn't like was there was no wait staff. I guess EARLY Mountain spoiled me! Hahaaaa!! I was expecting the same kind of experience here- but nonetheless we had to place our orders at the bar & pretty much wait on ourselves lol Typically-I was told they offered cheese and fruit plates- but today they didn't....:/( They did have a selection of cheese, crackers, olives if you wanted to create a board of your own... They also have a cigar area and offered cigars if that's your jam... Also noted in some areas they allow for you to bring your pets... On to the flights- wanted to try a few before deciding on a bottle so I went with the dry white option and my boo thang opted for the sweet options. The flights include a selection of 3 wines for $22...I was ok with just my 3 and my love actually enjoyed the port dessert wine which was the third tasting on his flight so I purchased a bottle for him. Appreciated the pizza Big Cork offered. We shared a pizza and ordered some fries from the food truck that was on the grounds. Would I venture back here NOPE! But I'm glad I can finally check this one off my list. Happy Valentine's Day!

If you plan on a day to wine hop, pack a small cooler with ice so you can take the cheese with you. Most cheese packs are sold with 4 blocks of cheese in 1 pkg. The Catawba brand of wine was was very nice, but the Cosmo slushy is better. It's refreshing on a hot day. TIP: limited parking in front of the facility & it sits on a corner of a highly traveled main road. Go past the winery, (right side; right lane) and take a right at its corner; take another right onto E Maple, the next street. From there, on the right is a graveled path. That's their area for patrons to park. Approx 8 cars can fit on left side of the path. No Food. Just cheese, crackers, and BlackOut pretzels.

That was tough - he was not good - it was loud - and when you can't even get courtesy claps - you're just a nuisance. Ordered the caprese pesto flatbread to start. This was OK - but it came out cold. Absolutely struggled to get a refill to the point where I had to flag down a different waitress to get us one. As an entree I ordered the crab pasta special, and we shared an order of truffle fries to share. After waiting another 25 minutes the waitress upon getting us a refill exclaimed "oh your pasta is back here sitting" Would you know it - it was cold. We tried to save things with cake which we got to get up and walk in front of everyone and pick out in the fridge. Man. Would you know it ? It was old and hard. Place needs to decide if it wants to have food or not. Bad experience - and I don't care about sitting in an igloo.

Theres seating at the bar and a couple tables. We sat at the bar and were greeted quickly. We ordered a few drinks and the bartender was very nice to talk to. She is very passionate about the art of drink making and shared her tips and tricks. She makes a great espresso martini but would probably make you anything you asked for and would enjoy the chance to be creative. We ordered a brie platter which was decent. It was what we were looking for (not a heavy meal). They have wine for sale in the back, as well as assorted ciders, seltzers, and beers. A bit pricey in my opinion for certain items, but that's okay! They have coffee and t shirts for sale too. Dogs are allowed here and the locals seem to know each other and the bartenders know their names too. Very nice and homey to go somewhere that everyone knows each other!! Would recommend this place to anyone.

We researched a bit and saw that Snallygasters was nearby had good reviews and the food pics looked good so we checked it out. Atmosphere was cozy with interesting decor and a lively crowd of customers in almost a full house as this was Sunday night. It took a little time to be seated and have our order placed but again they were busy so when our Waitress Piper came she was more than accommodating, super friendly and kind to us which made it all good. She guided us through the specials and since we were new to the restaurant steered is to some good choices. Our meals arrived hot fresh and delectable as this was fine cuisine and not your ordinary restaurant fare. We had a shrimp and chorizo dish and also a chicken and vegetable dish which both looked amazing and tasted even better. We were very pleasantly surprised and devoured both our entrees!! Lol! We even ordered dessert to go as we saw another table served a huge piece of ny cheesecake and being native New Yorkers on vacation we thought how appropo as we'll bring it to our room and enjoy as it was getting near there closing time (9pm.) We will definitely be back after enjoying so thoroughly our first picks as we are intrigued to see how the other dishes are. Our only small complaint would be the dessert we brought back to the room was a very small tiny slice and not like the one we saw in the restaurant being served to the table behind us and for ten bucks we were disappointed at its size even though it tasted great. Our waitress Piper made our evening enjoyable being so helpful and nice and we really appreciate that as the server can make or break your meal. Last thought many dogs allowed in restaurant. ( 3 at the time of our dinner.) We love dogs and we're petting the one nearest to us as it kept walking over to my wife as she was seated awaiting our order however it was inconvenient navigating the dining floor with so many pets about and eating with them in such close proximity was a turn off I will not lie and these were not service animals. Over all we really enjoyed Snallygasters as the service of Piper was great and the cusine superb and the atmosphere lively and clean. A bigger piece of dessert and more restrained pets would be an improvement in our opinion. Still all in all we give five stars and highly recommend. We will be back soon.
