The food is quite good and the staff that served us was kind and forthcoming with napkins, and water refills. The Oni n rings were breaded rather odd...not necessarily bad but certainly different from normal onion ring expectations. The scones were deliciously chewy and only lightly browned so it was almost doughy but right on the edge of doneness that I appreciate the balanced effort in.
The scenery outside is breathtaking and the stream nearby offers pleasant white noise.
The only gripe was the seating in direct sunlight. We were assured it would only be ten minutes before the sun would disappear. We used the sun to shade finger technique (look towards the sun and put the base of your hand against the item that will offer you shade such as a roof. Each finger between the shade source and the sun is 15-ish minutes) and it was more like half an hour until we were no longer sweaty and had become reasonably comfortable. If you go past 5 and you are seated near the rock wall along the river be sure to insist on a shade source or be prepared to bake in the sun (it was the 4th of July weekend when we went).
Everything else was a rustic reprieve with well groomed cooking techniques that I appreciate and value. Thanks for reading.
