From a tourist's perspective:

Dining at "The Cottage" was an experience that combined cozy ambiance with comfort food that mostly hit the mark. Upon entry, the inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and good seating options promised a delightful meal. And in many ways, that promise was fulfilled.

However, the service experienced during the meal had its ups and downs. Initially, during the appetizer, the service was attentive and non-disturbing, albeit slightly slow to return, even in a less busy setting. This pattern continued into the main course, where after the food was dropped off, the server never returned to check in. This led to a significant delay in getting something as basic as napkins, which were needed from the start and only arrived halfway through the main course.

The menu, while offering a great selection of comfort food, could benefit from a bit of organization. Its current presentation feels somewhat disorganized and could use an update to enhance the dining experience.

On a brighter note, the food itself was a highlight of the visit. The Loaded Baked Potato soup, a personal favorite comfort food for me, was served with a professional flair and perfectly cooked potatoes, despite the potatoes being slightly larger than ideal. My main course, their Bacon Cheeseburger with hand-cut French fries, was cooked exactly to request and presented perfectly. The cheese melted just right, the bacon cooked to perfection, and the burger seasoned impeccably made each bite a delight. The fries stood out for their taste, requiring no additional sauce to enjoy.

The charming touch of beverages served in a mason jar added to the meal's rustic feel, underlining The Cottage's appeal as a destination for comfort food in a cozy setting.

Overall, "The Cottage" presents a lovely dining atmosphere with exceptional comfort food. Despite the need for improvements in service responsiveness and menu organization, the quality of the meals offers a strong incentive for a return visit.
