What a magical, charming, romantic, cozy, whimsical little spot-- like out of a secret antique, plant-filled world!  I am in love.  

I ordered the house salad (pear, blue cheese, walnuts) and it was so beautiful I had to stare at it for awhile.  Like…More »

I enjoy this building so much. As a venue it feels... special, mainly because it's not a new building and has a beautiful open feel to it. Parly because I only come here on special occasions. Great seating in the theatre area, perfect acoustics,…More »

What's not to love? Pristine natural beauty just moments away from a city center, now that is a real treat. But I'd like to highlight my favourite cheesball factor about the park: the train.

On holidays like Halloween and Christmas the train park is…More »

Awesome view of the city. Great place to play frisbee-golf. Stellar place to take family pictures or have that rotic picnic you've been wanting to have (rotic= romantic, but without the man). So purdy and undervisited. Get out here, people!

Came here for drinks to join my friends birthday party.  It was picturesque... 6 girls around a round table, beneath a chandelier, laughing, drinking... it felt like we were on SATC!  Very classy, beautiful... a perfect memory together.  Now as for…More »

Big fan!  We went here last week, sampled every wine, and enjoyed being out of the big city (yet so close!).  The Late Harvest Merlot (8 on the sweetness scale) and the raspberry wine were the two favorites.  I look forward to coming back!

Well, maybe if Jude Law worked there and spent the night flattering me. Ok, maybe not, I hear he's a DB... but he's pretty. So ANYWAY, I have nothing but rave reviews for this place. It's the #1 place I…More »
