"The people here were so amazing. SHOP LOCAL! Great day trip for families. Pick your own or buy in a very well stocked market. Everyone was so friendly and they even let my kids use a hose to clean off their muddy sneakers. We will go again next fall." Nestled in to the hillside, little creek flowing at the basin, this old mill sit's awaiting to welcome you. Mark and Rachel have assembled the finest team of wait staff to include themselves in your experience. A true supper club of the bygone era, serving up phenomenal food , cold drinks, and sweet music to round out your evening. The acoustics are second to none. The owners, Mark and Rachel, engage in every customers experience, making sure you have everything you desire. Portions are large enough to share or feed the hungriest appetite. The appetizers are created to enhance your experience, same for the deserts. Our friend had been talking about this place for a couple of years, wow have we been missing out. Prices are no different than anywhere else you would go, the difference is in the quality of food and the experience. Outstanding! JCATA 2021 MINI GRANT
