The Washington Post

It's not a huge article about the restaurant...but, it's still a mention in the Washington Post !
In case you don't feel like reading the whole thing, here's what it says about us "Ligonier's summer nightlife, we decide, ends at sundown. Aside from those decorous bandstand concerts, there's high-decibel drag racing at the Jennerstown Speedway and a multiplex 12 miles west. We opt for a lighter alternative at the lakeside Mountain Playhouse, which bills itself as the oldest summer theater in the state.
Near the summit of Laurel Mountain, we turn at an 1805 gristmill, moved here in 1939 and flanking the area's best restaurant. The pairing was no accident: The owner of a former sandwich stand put a theater in the gristmill to lure Pittsburghers to his eatery next door. Now the elegant Green Gables overlooks the same lake as the theater, and most patrons, including us, stroll from their dinners to their seats. The straw-hat fare hasn't varied much since that first season: no irony, no angst, just "Unnecessary Farce," a new comedy played for belly laughs. Outside at intermission, the skies over the lake are clear; an hour later, they open. We creep back down Laurel Mountain in a downpour, braking for a steep descent to the Ligonier Country Inn. "
Pretty cool.
