Great afternoon at pickity for late lunch. We had a little wait so we went in their gift shop. Gor seated, fist we had crackers & dip 2 kinds, got our drinks, just water & ice tea & lemonade. Then we had soup. Soup was good on a cold day. Next a very good salad. Entree was braised beef, string beans & mashed with a reduction sauce. Very good. Ended with a Raspberry & ricotta cake with almonds! Very good meal, great service but kinda out of the way, we like that stuff.
Pickety Place is a delightful & unusual destination, where it feels like you have gone back in time as time slows down and you enjoy the majesty of nature, conversation and delicious food. There are three seatings a day, most days of the year. The menu is prepared monthly, with a meat and vegetarian option. The food is thoughtfully prepared using local herbs, and the wait staff is friendly & knowledgeable. There have been fairly recent renovations and they seem to have toned down the Little Red Riding Hood theme. Wander through the gardens, check out the wonderful gift shop, and a fun greenhouse. You can also visit with the local sheep and friendly farm cats. Plan an hour and a half for dining and at least another hour to explore all there is to see at Pickity Place. We have been here during every season and have never been disappointed. The food is absolutely delicious and it is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Dining at Pickity Place is like experiencing a scene inside of a snow globe; especially during the winter months with the addition of fresh fallen snow on this fairytale cottage. It recently dawned on me that I've been dining here for over 40 years. My roommates & I would visit annually in December. The monthly 5-course Lunch was a bargain back then at just $15.95 and still is at $32.95, which includes your choice of a meat or vegetarian entree and unlimited beverages of sweetened & unsweetened flavored iced teas, hot teas, coffee, decaf mocha, etc. Their delicious food, includes fresh herbs & edible flowers from their garden. The staff, some of which span two generations, are hospitable & attentive. Reservations are required! I've witnessed guests who drove a great distance only to be turned away due to a lack of seating. They have three daily times to select from and will often add a 4th on the weekends. I only took one glamour shot during my recent visit due to how scrumptious everything was! They sell some of the dips & beverages in their adorable shop. Poppy is their mascat (aka mascot).
Another annual update in our holiday tradition of going here and this was very likely our best visit ever. Ashley was our server and she was amazing. She checked in all the time, brought us drinks every time we ran out, described each dish and course, and was overall incredibly helpful throughout. I would not say our service has ever been bad here but the welcome and service from Ashley went way beyond and truly made our lunch a memorable one. Food here is always shockingly good. Well worth a trip to try this spot out!
Had a wonderful lunch with a friend yesterday. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming. Quaint setting in the woods, definitely a unique experience and worth the visit.
