Alex at the Craftsman Pub is absolutely phenomenal. I say that with true purpose. He has created the best Old Fashioned drinks I've ever experienced (the seasonal Gingerbread was one of a kind, not to forget about the Orange Old Fashioned ). Along with this creativity, he manages to bring a personal experience with his guests. He is truly one of a kind.

Stopped into the bar before a nice meal and the bartender, Alex was so pleasant and made an amazing gingerbread manhattan (his creation). 10/10 for the beverage and service!

Just a quick note of appreciation to Alex who did an outstanding job during our entire 3 night stay!! He not only served up outstanding drink specials for my wife but waited tables as well.We were there for a Celebration of Life…. Alex worked that event as well with an overflow crowd and Alex continued to come through and helped make the occasion a joyful remembrance of our loved one!!! Thank you again Alex and Cherry Valley Hotel!!!

We have come 3 or 4 times in 2025 and have always had superb service with a smile, excellent food. Our favorite is their special Brioche French Toast! Its a must to top off any meal.

Atmosphere is romantic, elegant, with a country lodge feel. Staff is consistently friendly. Check times before you come as the restaurant has different hours throughout Monday-Thursday and weekends.

This is definitely a peaceful, charming getaway from the big city bustle.

we had a delicious dinner in the pub with Alex as our waiter. He did a terrific job, answered all of our questions and even worked with the chef to customize my meal. The food was delicious and we will certainly be back! We highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel. The bartender made me a yummy white chocolate martini that I sipped by a huge beautiful fire on a snowy night.

Reservation for two on Thanksgiving. Had to pay in advance price was supposed to be $65 each plus $10 for sodas. We were charged $172.67. Hidden fees that I didn’t expect. Food was cold. Drinks were 12 oz. cans that we didn’t drink. Wait staff was non existent. We did not eat anything and when I asked for a refund I was told to leave or they would call the police and have us removed. The total experience was one of the worst experiences I have ever had.

We made a reservation for my mother in laws 90th birthday. We had a party of 12. The reservation was made months in advance. The reservation was for 5pm on 11.8. There was only one other table being waited on. It took 45 minutes for us to get cocktails. When we got them they were wrong. We ordered our food and it took over an hour to be served. Then it came out a little at a time. We were offered no water refills. There were many tables seated, served and left. We still had no food. The waitress was extremly inappropriate and seemed a little unglued. She ended up crying and telling us she was quitting! We will not be back and are telling everyone not to go there! So disappointing...especially for my 90 year old mother in law!

We didn't eat in the igloo but the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night. Decent food. Mahi was a bit overcooked. Drinks were good. Service was good. All in all a great and amazing ambiance experience that I think is underrated. The igloos were $70pp by the way.
