Overlooking a breathtaking view from the outdoor dining space, Cast & Cru flawlessly marries natural beauty with rich architectural designs reminiscent of log-built structures. The steak was an exquisite treat, complemented by the irresistibly tasty brussel sprouts. Definitely a top recommendation for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience!

What a great date night restaurant! This place is truly fantastic. The drinks are amazing along with the ambiance. It’s located on a open field with fantastic views. It has a very secluded yet elegant vibe. They also do live shows in another section of the building next to the restaurant as well. The food was 10/10!!! My husband ordered the short ribs and it was tender and flavorful. And the starter beet salad had the most wonderful combination of flavors we have ever tasted. I ordered the sous vide chicken and it melts in your mouth like butter. Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!!

Had an amazing experience at Cast and Cru. The food was so well priced for the quality and flavor. The service was great and the atmosphere cannot be beat! It’s rare to find a quiet, serene restaurant in a busy town, but they somehow did it!

The food could have been a bit better. Mine was overcooked, but I am also keeping in mind that considering I was with 2 motor coaches filled with people, it was pretty good. I’m sure it had to be made up in advance and kept warm. The dessert was amazing though! Our servers were very friendly and attentive. Overall a very good experience.

No salad and very small portion of potatoes and about 3 green beans. They waited so long to start bringing any dessert out that a lot had left for door opening for show. Dessert was great, only got it as someone came and told me they finally brought dessert out.

I really wanted to like this restaurant because the menu is interesting and it’s a beautiful place (but they were out of mussels); however, don’t let these words dissuade you from going. The service was great. Olivier, who served us, was a charm and very attentive. We were just disappointed in the lamb. I guess, as fans of lamb, we placed too much expectation on it. It was decent, but we decided sous vide just isn’t our favorite way to prepare lamb. The Osso Bucco short ribs and duck bombs were delicious. And they did give us a free dessert to celebrate my bf’s hair’s 11th birthday. Yes. His hair. That earned them 4 stars.

I was excited to go to this restaurant and then see the show in the adjacent Old Log Theatre. But unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The scallops -appetizer-were good but the main course -maple salmon and wild rice was disappointing. The portion was so small and had just a very small amount of wild rice on the side. Had to actually send the small piece of salmon back as it was undercooked. When I got it back it was overcooked and the rice was cold….

Nice setting in the woods. Salmon was undercooked, smaller food portions. Very loud , like a bar ..good drinks and service. Trying to be a little upscale but honestly the food is average.

Don’t get me wrong, the food was very very good but just not anything very unusual. Sunday noon I had a breakfast entree, again that was very good but pretty standard. I will say that the Bloody Mary was five star.
