    We have loved the Spring House, and had heard the annex, "The Barn," praised. But when we went there for our anniversary we were disappointed by the food. The brussells sprouts were underdone; my drink was weak; the pasta was ordinary. We did not order desserts because our server (excellent, by the way) told us that the desserts were supplied by Cysco, and so not made locally, but instead just came from a factory. It didn't wreck our anniversary, but sure didn't add to it.

    The Barn has been consistently fabulous since it has opened. We have eaten here numerous times and the chef obviously has high standards and prioritizes using local seasonal meat and produce. Well done!

    The setting is quaint but in good condition. The salmon was just right, the onion soup not too salty. Good wine, friendly staff. It's a little hard to find at night but Wayz got us there.
