Mansion tours are Thursday through Sunday, at 10 am and 3 pm - you have to buy tickets at the Visitor Center, which is open Thursday through Sunday, 9 am to 4 pm.

If you also visit the farm across the road, the entire walk would take you about 45 mins - it’s a pretty short distance, but it was absolutely stunning in fall during golden hour!

You can pick up a map with brief history of the estate by the visitor center. There are two small parking lots. Open sunrise to sunset

They require a “minimum $10 tip” when you place your order at the counter. It doesn’t work like that.

If they have wait staff on payroll that they pay only $2/hour as they claim, I want to get table service & pay after I’m finished eating my meal.

I’d been coming here for years because I don’t like Uma Uma across the street, and because I want to support independent businesses (THE main reason why I kept coming here),

but asking for a “mandatory” tip or having a “business operations surcharge” is a great way to lose customers over $5-10. Hope my $5 tip on my $55 pre-tax order was worth it
