Now, we are bringing our six generations of brewing expertise to life in this one-of-a-kind culinary experience that highlights the diverse cultures of both Pennsylvania and Florida.

Our family truly enjoyed our dining experience on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and the wait staff were polite, attentive, and friendly. The piccata grouper melted in my mouth, the lamb chops were tender, and the sushi was incredibly fresh and tasty. Definitely will be coming back.

Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!

Had a great anniversary dinner and CW's. They had live music and overall it's a very subtle, ambient, classy mood. Nick was our server, and he gave great dinner suggestions and made sure our water's were never more than half empty. Drinks are pretty fairly priced, and the food is expensive, however it's worth it as everything we ate was delicious. I highly recommend the ribeye steak sandwich!
