   The atmosphere was good for our book club. We were sitting in to a "nook" of the restaurant, but the noise wasn't loud anyway. Our server was very attentive and patient with all our questions. The cider flights were very enjoyable and we all liked what we ordered. I ordered the pancit bowl, but wasn't too impressed. The vegetables were slivered and the bowl was a little watery. Others enjoyed their meals. The grilled cheese sandwich had the best review of our meals. The cheese curds were a good appetizer shared by 5 people and there were left overs. I would go back, mainly for the ciders and I would choose a different meal.

   Lunch was excellent! Our server was knowledgeable, very efficient and super friendly. We ordered two flights to taste test and then proceeded to order our favorites. Food was hot and delicious. The atmosphere was absolutely the best, little chatter, not overly crowded with a festive flair. Will definitely return!

   Really outstanding food! My only critique is maybe to have a bit more options for non-alcoholic drinks and desserts. But the appetizer and entree I ordered were simply excellent. I will definitely return!

   The new location in Carmel was very busy for this Saturday night. We had to wait for a table and then wait quite a while for service but I think they were just very busy and this is a new restaurant. They were out of many things different siders and different food items so I’m sure that is part of the growing pains. It’s a really cool location and I think it has the potential to be awesome!

   Quality of food was not good…waitress would stop by occasionally to check on us in spite of her passing by on a regular basis. Doubt I will return.

   Food was tasty but service was slow and 3 of the 4 meals came out cold. Most of the issues, I believe, were related to being short staffed so we will try again. Our server was working hard and tried to make things right so we appreciated that. Had to ask for a few things multiple times, timing of food was slow, had to ask for check, but hoping they can correct these issues moving forward. The food options were great and very reasonable prices, which are appreciated.

   We made a reservation thinking it would be busy (since it's swiftie weekend). When we got there it wasn't clear how to check in. We got to the bar and were ignored for 5+ minutes. When we got to the table, we didn't hear from anyone again. The table next to us had been there a while and told us we should just leave because their service had been so far. We didn't try the food, which is why it was rated a 3. Everything else was poor. Super disappointed. To be clear, it was NOT busy at all.

    Everything was great. We were seated right away. Jordan took care of us and we definitely would recommend asking for him.
