    I had made a reservation a month in advance for a tasting at Spy. When we arrived, 2 employees made eye contact with our party and then turned away, ignoring us. There was no greeting, or "I'll be with you in a just a minute". In addition, when we were finally seated and served, the employee seemed irritated by our questions about the flight options and disdainful when we asked for something to mix with the spirits for tasting. Overall not a great customer service experience.

    We had a wonderful visit earlier this week. Will was really welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us, yet allowed us to enjoy our own space on a quiet/rainy day. We will definitely go back!

    We didn't have any food so I can't come in on the food. While I don't mind the self-service approach, the service was a long wait. I think they can at least have two people serving those and waiting in line.

    The location and ambience were excellent! It was so relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the country views while having a cold cider. I had a flight so I can try each cider they offer and while they were good, they weren't remarkable. However, service, prices, and ambience were so good that I would definitely return and recommend to others.

    The price of the bottles are a bit too expensive. The food was good but some of the item we had chosen you did not have anymore. Service was slow for the delivery of the food but it is expected as most of the restaurant are affected with employee retention due to covid. But we enjoy ourself. We wish that you would offer a tour and story about how it came all together and how your gin is made… maybe we could read it but to see it the machinerie and etc.. it could have been interesting… where the plants are grown, etc etc

    We didn't have food so rating doesn't really apply. The location is lovely. The view is so much nicer from the inside on second floor, but too noisy with all the equipment running (which of course is necessary). The outside sitting area is nice. I like the firepits and toss game. Check out was too slow. We had another appointment, so you lost a sale because I couldn't wait. I would definitely tell friends about your Cidery. The overall experience was very nice.

    We had hoped to have lunch but their kitchen wasn't up and running yet. They were nonetheless able to provide a charcuterie board that was lovely. Lots of choice and interesting cheeses, crackers, meats and a delicious chutney!! The service was wonderful and the view spectacular :-)

    We didn’t have any food but that wants an option. Such a good intro to the place from….forget his name but he was amazing! Bearded fellow who had just started there like a month ago. He knew so much about the place on our tour and the products. We loved everything that we’d sampled even though we are not cider or hard liquor drinkers. A really great place for an outing to meet friends and do something different. We’ll all be back!!!

    What a great spot to spend an afternoon. We rented snowhoes and did the trail through the orchard . Then has a flight amdnsome tastings around the campfire. It was a great afternoon with friemds and we will be back woth more. It is a hidden gem in the winter you need to check out. Thanks to Aubrey and Freddie for the tour and amazing service. Spy is not to be missed and worth the drive.

    Spy Cider House is a great spot to visit! It has beautiful flights of ciders and spirits to sample and a lovely outdoor space including fire pits and snowshoeing. The host (Freddie) was fantastic and explained the history of the business and the intricacies of the ciders and spirits. Our favourite was the raspberry wine mixed with cider. The gin is also quite beautiful. There isn't a lot of food there, it's more of a fun spot to try local beverages. It's very close to other vineyards as well. We spent the afternoon on a self-led tour of local spots.

    We had a very nice time , the drinks are delicious the service was awesome. We only wish there was more food options and the prices were fair. We have been there a few times, but the lack of options for snacks is disappointing, they do have very tasty chips but the cost isn’t cheap. You can also request a cheese and meat board but again the price is extreme. Other than that it’s a wonderful place.
