The food was delicious, the staff was kind and efficient and the atmosphere comfortable, relaxing and inviting. A wonderful idea of a restaurant/antique store in one.

Great gift shop with tons of cool items from rustic to antique. Very accommodating staff. We had a third person who was going to be 40 minutes late. They welcomed us to occupy a table and wait during their lunch rush. Traditional meal options that were delicious.

I love this restaurant! What a find driving up to the Herkimer area exploring and looking for a place for lunch. Antiques, wonderful pleasant couple serving us and plus being the owners. Coconut Cream Pie was the best. The patrons seated around us were friendly. Great place, good food and 1700 ambience. Also it is a gift shop for early American folk art.

We each had the beer battered haddock fish fry, with baked potato, coleslaw and roll. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. The price wasn't bad. Two thumbs up. We will be back again.

Stopped there on our way home from a trip. I had the fish fry and my Husband the baked fish with cracker, butter & wine topping, the food was absolutely delicious and service was great. It is adorable inside and they sell antiques and other craft items. We will definitely go there again. Very nice atmosphere. L
