BLUF: A great locally sourced small restaurant in old town. If you’re traveling through the area I recommend stopping and trying it out. Wait for a table… it’s worth it. It’s pricey because of ingredient quality…., but still worth it.

TLW Club is amazing! We had a side of fruit and a couple lattes. Mountain Mint and No Name. Bitterness to the coffee, could be a bit more smooth. A must if you’re coming for the food!! Friendly staff, not long wait times for your meal, you aren’t waiting for a prolonged amount of time before someone comes to check in on you. Well lit.

Love this place! Hadn’t been there in years, so my fiance and I decided we’d go support Orange’s restaurant week since The Light Well is donating proceeds to a local person in need. Just as I remembered, the food was great, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of an earlier time, showcasing the feature that created the name. They have fantastic locally roasted coffee. If you’re a craft beer fan, this is definitely a great place for it, they have plenty on tap, as well as their own Willow Spring Brewery selections. My favorite part was dessert; the creme brulee was perfect, and the bacon brownie was incredibly chocolate!

Loved this place! Fun space with attentive wait staff. Probably my favorite salmon dish I’ve ever had. Grilled with a cranberry gastrique and cauliflower gratin. Could eat just that cauliflower forever. Highly recommend this spot.

The service was great. Excellent summer vegetables soup they had today. The carrot cake was a little dry, but the espresso shot made up for it.

Stopped in here with my daughter for Sunday brunch. The menu was full of dishes with local products. The grass fed beef burger and the chicken club sandwich were both delicious. And the atmosphere was cozy as well.
