Delicious food. Fast friendly service. NIce selection of drinks. Many uniquely prepared options. I had the “Local Veg Toast” and was pleasantly surprised to get a generous portion of arugula with delicious dressing included with the fresh bread toasted and a perfectly poached egg on top. Also ordered at our table and shared was the “Fried Tofu Sandwich” —really great breading used to fry the tofu to perfection. Would make a nice appetizer to share. Our friends ordered the Belgian Waffle which was topped with candied nuts and fresh fruit. Delicious. Would be a perfect desert shared with four people. The other item ordered was the “Breakfast Sandwich” but requested without the bread for a perfectly delicious low-carb option. The scrambled cheesy eggs were fluffy and tasty. They should teach culinary courses. Very innovative. The solid wood beams and high ceiling create a nice space with many windows to see the rolling hills and trees surrounding the area. It’s centrally located and a short enjoyable scenic drive for most people in the area.

As a wedding photographer, I absolutely adore working with the Wilson’s Ciderhouse staff. They are always so wonderful, caring, and considerate of our mutual couples. The space is gorgeous, both inside and out. Their food is always beyond amazing and I’m not just saying that because I’m starving by the time dinner is served at a reception. Truly, it’s so good. I highly, highly recommend this venue to couples wanting both the beauty of rolling hills and lush trees as well as modern barn and wood textures.

This place has a great potential to be an even better spot, it has a nice view of the orchard, good presentation of the food, good atmosphere and attentive service. But the price you pay is not worth the presentation of the food. The skirt steak I ordered did not have any flavor, it was barely lukewarm, as if it was sitting out for a bit. The Peruvian style chicken thighs were okay, the only thing you can really taste was the sauce, more curry style than Peruvian. We also had the calamari appetizer, though it was tender, it was soggy and very salty. I did enjoy the atmosphere and the view of the orchard.

Had a reservation that was promptly ready right on time. Pacing was nice, server checked in with us frequently. My eggs were not done as initially requested but it was immediately taken care of with no fuss whatsoever. The donuts are delicious, we enjoyed the drinks and the atmosphere

Belgian Waffle: with apples, whip cream ($1), & maple syrup ($2). Whatever they’re doing with the apple topping, they need to keep doing it because it was delicious! The waffle itself was savory with a perfect amount of sweetness. The whip cream was light and airy (not pictured). I barely used the maple syrup because the waffle with apple topping was good by itself!

An easy 5…the braised beef ribs are the best bites I’ve had in a couple years including a CO trip, We arrived at sunset to add to the happy energy. In summary food and setting are next level.

Beautiful place. Been here a couple times service and food is very inconsistent. First time I was there great service good food. Second time I was there server forgot to bring items we asked for and I was pretty much done eating by the time my daughter got her food. Mine would have been cold had I waitedany longer. Both times ordered biscuits and gravy which is one of the simplest things anybody could make. First time tasted great, second time the biscuits were hard as a rock and could barely cut them with a fork. My daughter’s waffles were pretty much in the same state when she finally got them. For what this place costs I probably will wait for quite some time before returning again if at all.

Great venue for a wedding. Service was excellent for both bar and food. Food was really good. Steak was prepared perfectly which is very difficult for a large crowd and the salmon was uniquely accompanied by a unique white bean side.
