Four of us met to try The Cider House out for dinner on a Friday night just over a week ago. It was filled with people but we were told that a table should be available in the next 20 minutes. We waited in the doorway and after 10 mins we noticed a free table. After waiting we also noticed no one was cleaning it up! One of us approached a waitress & we were able to finally grab a seat. Two of us ordered French onion soup to start but the onions weren't caramelized; they were still tangy! My husband & I both ordered the schnitzel & it was so fried, it was a very dark brown colour and extremely dry. Portion was huge though and good value for the money. Now if they could just make it taste good... The other meals weren't much better but the shrimp were okay. I felt badly for the waitress as she was working alone with help from a man who appeared to be the bartender? This just isn't someplace I'd try again as I was disappointed by the whole experience.
