"I ordered the Croque monsieur with tots and a slice of chocolate cake. And my husband got a bar-b-que sandwich with tots and corn chicken soup.My husband’s order came out perfect, but even though we both ordered tots, I got a huge helping of fries instead. I saw the mistake immediately, but didn’t think it was worth sending my food back. We were on a tight schedule. And mistakes happen.But I was about 3/4ths of the way into finishing my sandwich when my husband asked if my meal was alright, and I realized they forgot to serve the jam that was supposed to accompany my Croque monsieur. I knew something was missing but until he asked, I hadn’t stopped to take a hard look at what made my meal taste kind of 2-dimensional as opposed to one that is supposed to have layers of flavor built into it.I’m sure they would have fixed their mistake if I would have said something. By that time, I had just a nub of sandwich left and we just didn’t have time to flag down someone to go fetch jam for my last two bites of sandwich.The staff all seemed friendly enough, but their attention was really paid towards my husband as opposed to us both being on equal footing as customers. Maybe that’s why he had no issues with his order and I did. I guess one could forgive the faux pas because it is a common one almost everywhere you go. But I’m not here to be an apologist for the business. I’m strictly here relating what my experience was as a pseudo-mystery diner/food critic. Because that’s what Google restaraunt reviewers are basically.The chocolate cake was probably a very good cake. But they keep their desserts presliced in a refrigerated case, and the edges of the cake and icing were dried out. We were there at around 2PM, so maybe if we came earlier around breakfast time, the cake would have been fresher. I don’t know. And the corn chicken soup was tasty.It’s an alright place to grab a bite. ?"

"We had some difficulties finding access to the restaurant from the main street, but that was perhaps a stupid mistake on our side. But at the end of all the business, it's just that far. It is located at the top of a high hill overlooking the main road and Berkeley Springs. It has a beautiful view of the mountain side, outside the street view. The restaurant is not so large so that this is to be taken into consideration if you want to go with a larger group. We were in Berkeley Springs for a family holiday and so we had a larger group of people, i.e. about 8 people, and I am glad we made reservations. They have seating outdoors, but it had just rained so that everyone sat inside and filled it quickly. I recommend reservations only in case. The cabin rental recommend this restaurant for its crab soup, and while it definitely seemed a bit expensive, but it was really crab so... the cup was kind of small and was $6.50, the bowl that would have been a decent meal was $10ish. They did not have a very great choice, but it was enough to cover the different tastes of my family members. All portions were quite large (besides the crab soup cup) and we definitely ordered too much. The food was delicious, for the exception of Mac and Cheese side. It had a very strong taste that was very different from what one would normally expect, I personally did not like it. The server was very friendly and helpful for food suggestions, but it has forgotten some if our desires for small things like napkins or sauces and things of this nature, but I think it was due to the fact that it was a bit underused for server then. Overall it was a beautiful experience and meal. I would definitely recommend it."
