"What a fabulous meal! That salmon was incredible. The crust perfect. The
suggested wine pearing was perfect. Our guests said the steak could not have
been cooked any better. They loved the salads. Jim was at first disappointed
that the marinated duo of salmon had been changed, but he said, "If you can imagine, the
gravlax is even better. He told me your onion soup was the best, but you don't
know that he loves onion soup better than anything; so this is HIGH praise. The
fois gras he went crazy over. He shared not one bite. The souffle was
delicious and the chocolate mousse for his birthday, fantastic. You knocked this
ball out of the largest ballpark. Fabulous. Again."

"The setting of this inn and restaurant is gorgeous! It would have been lovely to stay over, but we simply came for dinner. The menu had plenty of variety and offered both a la carte and prix fixe (4-course) pricing. Our meal was exceptional and service was very friendly and attentive. The ambience of the dining room was warm and intimate. The only slightly odd thing was that there was no hostess or maitre'd to greet us in the large waiting room (maybe it was our timing?). We will definitely return to the Goodstone Inn!"

"The Goodstone is as good as it gets with its exceptional setting and attention to detail. The chef provided the PERFECT Christmas day dinner for us and it appeared that everyone around our table was also well pleased. Totally delicious!"

"We made our decision to celebrate New Year's Eve a day early again at The Goodstone Inn. Twice in one week. What a joy! We took another couple and every detail was perfect. Cocktails by the fireplace before a most beautiful and delicious meal. We all had something different and everything was excellent. A carmelized onion tart, a very nice selection of salads, a duo of salmon, steaks, scallops cooked to perfection, and a trio of game. All so special. Dessert was another treat: a raspberry souffle, Grand Marnier souffle,and lovely bread pudding. Oh my goodness, what a meal. We decided to stay overnight. So pleasant, and with a gorgeous breakfast in the morning."

"Once again we had a fabulous special event dinner at The Goodstone Inn and Estate Restaurant. For my husband's birthday, we had an unbelievable meal. I had sea bass that was so incredibly special, and my husband had short ribs which were outstanding, all with perfect vegetables. We also had a one-time-only side of macaroni and cheese with shaved truffles. We first had the asparagus soup and duo of marinated smoked salmon, our favorite. Desserts are always outstanding. We shared a carrot cake with yummy cream cheese icing. Oh my gosh. Fabulous!"

"Just a wonderful experience for Easter dinner in a charming former estate and farm. The food and presentation is exceptional. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion, however, quite off the beaten path for an evening trip unless you have gps."

"Wow! What a fantastic find from perusing Open Table. We had no idea this gem was even there and it is absolutely fabulous. We were lucky to have beautiful Easter weekend weather and were delighted just driving on to the grounds. We arrived early and took a walk around - the estate is totally charming with gorgeous views. The French cooking was light and wonderful - only one appetizer was a little bit of a miss (the Thai chicken wrap). The mushroom appetizer, two different salads, soft shell crab and salmon entrees, and the very light souffles (raspberry and grand marnier) were just excellent. We cannot wait to go back (and maybe spend the night in one of the 18 wonderfully appointed rooms next time)."
