Here is what one guest wrote: "Auntie Pestos was really good and quaint. We had an excellent meal! Mussels and fries to start and the mussels were some of the best I’ve had! Then we each had a pasta (half order) and I couldn’t even make a dent in it! I would definitely go again! The staff was super kind and our server even made us a delicious mocktail because we don’t drink!"

nice easy stroll in a meadow with an easy path to walk on. Able to take a walker or stroller. The creekside is not walker/stroller able, but a lovely walk along the creek. Dogs welcome
