If going for the first time i would highly recommend May or June... the waterfall is running, flowers are out, geese have returned to nest, etc! That way you get the whole ambience thing goin’! The original part of the restaurant where you are seated/served is pretty much like it was when the restaurant started. Upstairs can be kinda noisy so we prefer the bar and they know we like table 2! Nothing fancy and nobody dresses up.
