landscaped front area ... Large rocks
and three waterfalls near the water
wheel recreate the rugged wilderness
of the region's early days.
In a corner of the dining room sits
an old-fashioned generator ... among
the very early ones built by Thomas
Edison around 1890, that was sal-
vaged from the original mill ... At the
far end of the room, guests can gather
in a cozy area with its own fireplace
and a bar made of intricate woodwork
.... Notable antiques add to the restau-
rant's charm.
With the fabrics and artwork
depicting fishing scenes, the restaurant
interior design lends a feeling of being
at a family cabin ... A perfect setting
for a distinctive American meal.
The moderately priced menu fea-
tures a variety of hearty entrees like
beef short ribs, chicken pot pie, Paint
Creek meatloaf, pecan trout, old Eng-
lish fish and chips, etc. ... Also a
three-mushroom bowtie pasta, tuna
salad stuffed tomato, etc.
The restaurant is open for dinner
Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to
9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 5 p.m. to
10 p.m; Sunday 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. ...
Saturday lunch is noon to 3 p.m. ...
Sunday brunch is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Cider mill hours are Saturday and
Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with its bak-
ery and deli for pies, cookies, donuts,
etc.
Yes, this is a great place to bring the
kids ... It also has a separate menu for
them.
Paint Creek Cider Mill & Restau-
rant is one of those wonderful gems
you hear about and can't wait to visit.
The combination of a striking
ambiance, extremely comfortable sur-
roundings and food preparations by
Chef Randy Emert is little short of
sensational.
It is a place unlike others.
