Really awesome place to go and have a drink or wind down after a long stressful day. Music is really chill and you can have a chat and hear people at the same time. For someone who has hearing problems this place is my go to for good food and a good vibe
We love The Conservatory! Great little place, friendly staff, delicious food - triple threat! The drinks are amazing too! I’m not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts but theirs are now my “go-to”. Tender crisp, piping hot, and a yummy balsamic glaze. Add the bacon and goat cheese crumbles, and you’ll experience a little bowl of Heaven on Earth… The only negative is that they don’t open until 3 pm, but I’ll forgive them that.
What a hidden gem! The food here is spectacular. Our bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful, and made some stellar cocktails. Inside is cozy and comfortable and the prices were really impressive considering the caliber of food. Highly recommend the pickled and fried cauliflower!
This place always has the best playlist when I go in and the food never disappoints. They have fun drinks too. This photo is from the 2025 Meltdown sandwich, a benefit county-wide in which participating locations offer their take on delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 from each one sold benefits the local food bank.
Fantastic atmosphere, enormous selection of liquors and liqueur, including a lot of stuff that's off the beaten path. Best of all, the bartenders are friendly and eminently knowledgeable. Haven't had much of the food, but I'll change that soon!
We invited my brother-in-law and his girlfriend to cocktails so we could get to know her better. Girlfriend-in-law paid the bill! suh-WEET! Even when I tried to pay the second round, she told the bartender not to accept my payment. hahaEven if I had paid, I would still like this place and their cocktails.It is a nice atmosphere, not too loud, comfortable seating, warm whimsical decorations, friendly service, and clean bathrooms.They have a large list of cocktails, mocktails and other non-alcoholic beverages, as well as beer and wine.They can make all the traditional cocktails. A regular told me the manhattan is top notch, but the cherries aren’t the best he’s seen. Cherry seemed alright to me. They also have several house cocktails and a few specials to choose from.Between us 4, we tried several different cocktails. We even tried the house cocktail designed for the bitterest of liqueurs, Jeppson’s Malört. All were deemed tasty by all!They offer several food items from a full kitchen, including appetizers, sandwiches, salads, breakfast, and dinner. They even have veggie burger, gluten free crackers, and gluten free (GF) fried chicken! ! !Free parking on the street.No minors allowed, bummer… l’d like it better if kids were allowed, but it’s so good it’s gets the 5th star.If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
The ambiance had me excited the moment I first walked in the door of this place, especially as a plant and nature lover.I've been taking photos of their drinks for years, and raving about their food on social media, but hadn't left a review yet!I'll be back to add more pictures to this review. The drinks are alchemical masterpieces, garnished with garden treasures like nasturtium or Rosemary, slivers of coconut, glasses rimmed with creative mixes such as chili and strawberry powder (I'd have never thought of it, but it works!)The fried portabello mushrooms and smoked salmon and goat cheese salad are items we order on repeat. They've recently added some new menu items and I was ecstatic to see duck.Let me tell you, they work the same magic with that duck as they do with everything else they make. Flavor combinations one might not have thought of, but work so well you could never go back to the mundane and be satisfied again.Try their Sun Chaser drink.
While they aren't a full gluten free restaurant/bar they do have dedicated fryers for gluten free food and they do their best to keep most of the kitchen gf.I ordered the fired chicken, which was two pieces of chicken thigh, gf battered, served with Coleslaw and polenta. It was really good and I had no issues. My family also ordered two of their appetizers, a cucumber, radish plate and fired brussel sprouts, both were great, I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts.We sat at their outdoor seating as we bought our dogs with us, and they even offered water bowls for them!Overall great experience and the bar manager really understood about my gluten allergy so I felt very comfortable eating there.
