Wine And Waterfalls - HAWLEY

Definitely one of the top places in my book to dine first time there food service. Everything was great.

We were happily greeted with champagne at our table because we were celebrating our anniversary. Food was very good, but portions seemed small. Everything else was wonderful. We will be dining there again.

The food was on the level of a chain place ALLLL the food we ordered came at once. Like the olives, the sliders, that were so disgustingly over cooked that they were like burnt shoe soles, the “tacos” I think they meant fajitas, tacos come assembled, always, the salad, the gnocchi, the risotto- like no room on the table at once. Bizarre!

The overall experience was enjoyable. We very much enjoyed the Roasted Garlic Gorgonzola Fonduta starter. The Grilled Beef Petite Filet with the Cognac Peppercorn Demi was absolutely delicious though I was looking forward to a stronger pepper flavor than the sweet cognac flavor that was almost slightly overwhelming. The Grilled Chicken Contadina with Slow Roasted Tomatoes Grilled Artichokes, Balsamic Glaze was also very good. Usually we would avoid ordering a grilled chicken dish thinking it would be too plain and boring, but this was not. The chicken was nicely cooked, but the roasted tomatoes were truly the star. The only complaint of the evening was how unbelievably cold the experience. We were told the enclosed deck was kept warm, but NOPE! Before we were finished with our appetizer I could barely feel my toes. I found myself shivering throughout the meal. It was only slightly warmer inside the main dining room. While the cold environment wasn't totally pleasant, I know how to dress more adequately for the next time I return because there will certainly be a next time soon.

Long wait for the food. Cold mushroom risotto. The risotto they brought to replace it was swimming in flavorless broth. It looked and tasted like the kitchen didn 't stir in the parm just shredded a few bits of the cheese on top. The gnocchi 's tomato sauce resembled store bought sauce. Tasted like unseasoned canned tomato sauce. While delicious, the portion of duck fat fries was stingy. Oh, and someone fell and hit their head such that they bled on the floor. Nothing to do with the food but the staff were slow to respond and when they did appeared clueless What can I do to help, was staff 's question. How about what you were trained or not trained ? to do? . Restaurant has no issue charging prices you 'd see in a major city, but they have no business doing so. What a shame, too. It 's a lovely restaurant with an eclectic menu, but the food is lousy and the wait staff act like deer in the headlights. We ate here on 11/10/23 after visiting from Chester County, PA. We 'll never go back and I recommend eating elsewhere.
