| - When Rick Sebak says it's a good place to go, you go! So I went, and while the food may not have blown me away, the pies are totally worth the drive here!
You can totally tell this is a spot that sees repeat costumers day in and out. We had an early dinner at 5pm and it was packed with families and couples. The decor reminds you of a ski chalet, it's quite cozy. All you needed is a roaring fireplace!
We read the reviews about the battered shrimp, so we started off with that as an app. They were very good, and I believe that breadcrumb family recipe is legit. Plus, the cocktail sauce was surprisingly good. But the main dishes we split, between the rainbow trout, almondine cod and seafood platter were a little bland.
The real treat is the pies, as I stated earlier. Most are cream pies, offering their famous coconut cream pie, but also banana cream, chocolate cream and an apple pie, among other choices... I kinda zoned out after my excitement set in for the coconut pie.
It was light and fluffy and delicious, just like you'd expect it to be. Toasted coconut flakes just topped it off. I hear the owner bakes a bunch of pies in the morning and you get what you get by the end of the day, so I was glad to enjoy the coconut one!
While I probably wouldn't be back for dinner, I'd definitely be back for a slice of pie... or the whole pie!
