Great experience, we were able to get one of the large cabanas. The kids loved looking at everything. Make sure to check out all three levels.

I’ve been to Summer House a number of times and have always had very good experiences, however I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, so I wanted to leave a review saying how impressed I was. According to the menu, most items can be made gluten free. I went with another person who was gluten free and the dinner was outstanding. Our server was great (as usual) and was very knowledgeable. It was very busy but didn’t feel crowded. The miso salmon was delicious and the Brussels sprouts salad is a favorite of mine. So unique and tasty. Normally I don’t get dessert but decided to try the gluten free chocolate chip cookie because their cookies are so good. This one did not disappoint! Soft, satisfying and hit the spot! I was curious about the “mini” espresso martini and thought, why not? It was the perfect after dinner drink! Overall, another great experience at the Summer House. I’ll be back!

We came over to check in about 15 mins before our reservations and we were seared immediately. Everyone was so friendly and polite. The place was decorated beautifully. We love the fairies that come around to the table no matter how old you are. They were so sweet and make the experience even more enjoyable. Our waiter was wonderful so attentive, never having to look for him, always refilling our glasses and providing prompt and friendly service. Food came out quick and was very good. We never felt rushed. We were able to go by the tree and take pictures. It was just a fabulous time. We had our first experience there last year and now we’ve made this an annual tradition. We look forward to many more years to come.

It was a wonderful food experience! Everything we had was amazing and we will definitely be back!
