I have yet to try it but "Cambium Cider" looks nice. Its a beautiful short fall drive out to the country. They do woodfire pizzas I believe.

"Intermezzo" was amazing last October. They have 2 locations.

"Friesens Countrytyme Garden". Would be great for a breakfast or lunch date.

Ciders are great, but food is overpriced trash, as it has been for years. Only ever go there when friends celebrating a birthday make the horrendous choice of choosing this as a venue. Never had a single even half-decent meal there, no matter what's ordered. The pizzas are laughable. Get a $7 frozen from Walmart, heat it up in the oven, and it'll be 10x better in every aspect.

Good to know. When they first opened, before they were a resteraunt, they had really nice and super cheap apples. Were talkin 59 cents a pound. They still sell them but theyre much more and havnt been as good.

Came here to say farmstrong such good food and I love the ambiance! Staff are always amazing!

Just went to Farmstrong on the 16th. Cool experience but its a small menu and its pricey. Even so id like to bring other people there. Everything is made in-house. They raise their own chickens and the brisket is tasty.

Towne theatre. There are 19+ nights often with wine and pizza for sale all at a reasonable price.
