Mendenhall InnWe heard from friends whatWe heard from friends what a wonderful place M.I. was to dine so we decided to try it out for ourselves. We will be going back and bringing family and friends so that they too can enjoy the experience.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent!Excellent restaurant!

Portions were large and had enough for dinner the next day.6/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentIt has been more than a few years since we have been there and it has not lost a beat. The food, service and ambiance were excellent for celebrating our wedding anniversary. It will a frequent stop for us in future since we are moving to the area from Bryn Mawr.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAttention to detailUpon arrival, we (party of 3) were immediately greeted and shown to a table in the main dining room, near the fireplace. The decor is subdued and romantic, a quiet elegance that does not scream for attention. The waitstaff was very attentive, seeing to the needs of the table without being intrusive. Ashley, our waitress, was very professional. She made suggestions and answered all our questions in a pleasant, friendly manner. The menu is surprisingly extensive, with choices that should please just about anyone. The quality of the food was excellent, including the vegetables of the day. My Ahi tuna was cooked rare, just the way I like it. And my companions raved about their meals also. A return visit is definitely on the schedule.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMNice overall dining establishmentWelcoming

Perfect location for a Mother’s Day dinner.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous Holiday BrunchI've heard for many years that the Mendenhall Inn holiday brunch was outstanding, and now I know why. I was skeptical due to the price, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The food alone was excellent -- I've never seen such a variety of gourmet foods at a buffet -- but with brunch cocktails included, you can't beat it. My whole family loved it, and it made for a perfect Mother's Day!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfectThis was a perfect Mother's Day brunch. The staff was on the ball when it came to our drinks, everyone was very friendly and approachable, the food was out of this world and they put out something for everyone. It was great and i will definitely recommend them to anyone who will listen5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMwent for Mother's DayWe went for Mother's Day in 2012 and were so impressed we returned again this year. The food is delicious and they know how to handle huge crowds both in the parking areas and also in the dining areas. All of the servers were so nice and helpful, too.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great...the waitThe food was great...the wait time was a little long but overall a nice experience5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day BrunchFood was delicious. Gold Ballroom looked beautiful. The service for our table of 11 was fabulous. What a treat for any mom!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMothers Day BrunchGreat time. No waiting period buffet had all that was needed and food was excellent.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBruch for a Queen on Mothers Day!The Mendenhall did an outstanding job with their Sunday brunch this past Sunday. Although the place was packed, everything flowed well. We were greeted in the parking lot by an attendant who directed us where to park, which was not a problem. We then entered the Grand Ballroom, which was one of several locations they had set up fro brunch. The seating was well arranged and the placement and selection at the brunch stations couldn't have been better. All the hot foods were hot, the cold foods, cold and the quality done in typical Mendhall style. From the crab cakes to the Bananas Foster Flambe, everything was excellent. I dined with my wife and three daughters, and we had an excellent beginning to our day. We will return5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day BrunchWe had Mother's Day brunch at Mendenhall and we were not sure they could serve a large crowd as they usually do in the restaurant. Although everything was served buffet, the many choices of food were delicious and a very nice variety. It was just pleasant to see so many small and large families gathered for a festive meal out. They had tables set for 4 - 20, depending on the size of the group. Great job that seemed to make so many happy customers!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMothers Day at the MendenhallMothers Day at the Mendenhall is always special. The buffet offered more choices this year and the presentations were even better than past special occasions. Always the best buffet on Sundays but this was exceptional. The champagne with the meal was also appreciated.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was one of the best mealsThis was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everything was superb -- the wine, the main course, and dessert. I will look forward to my next visit.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMRated for GemutlichkeitGood menu with many selections and nice ambiance. We've been going periodically for years and find the ambiance reliably gemutlich.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLower the Music VolumeHad a very nice Sunday brunch with my family. Only negative was the microphone the harpist used. The room is small enough that a microphone is not necessary. He was playing when we were being seated, and we asked to move to the back of the dining room because of it. I saw another party ask to move when they were seated near the musician, too.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this brunch ... it's our favorite.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a wonderful, relaxingHad a wonderful, relaxing evening with friends, easy to have conversation. The food was excellent. Cooked exactly as requested.
We will be back and recommend to friends.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMAttentive yet unobtrusiveAttentive yet unobtrusive service - "special of the night" superb!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous Find!!!!!!!Had great food and service at our favorite local gem, The Mendenhall Inn.

Food was good but not great, lacked that extra touch to make it great. For example my Prime Rib was a great cut but was under seasoned making it bland.
Our waitress, although she seemed experienced, was a little rough around the edges and we did not see her for long stretches of time and often blew right past us even when we needed her.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways enjoy visiting Mendenhall.Always enjoy visiting Mendenhall.

We had a pleasant experience - the food was excellent as usual and the service very good. The noise level was "energetic" which was to be expected given the occasion. In spite of the anticipated high turnover, we were definitely relaxed. Very good experience!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMwe were here for Easter Brunch.we were here for Easter Brunch.

Ample food of many varieties to fit anyone's taste. The only downside was the check in process. We were sent to one ballroom and then were told that we belonged in another, they were not close!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favorite place for SundayOur favorite place for Sunday brunch. Well-behaved kids do fine here, and there's plenty on the buffet and the menu for them to enjoy (my son knows the Mendenhall as "the place with the chocolate fountain.")3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Mendenhall gets consistentlyThe Mendenhall gets consistently high marks for their menu, food quality, and ambiance. In addition the waiter rests we had was super at service and pacing the meal. That's something to count on and why I would recommend the restaurant. However, beware of their attitude about seating you at the intended reservation time. This has been quite variable for us. It could be somewhat prompt or, as in the last visit, 50 minutes later than the reservation time. The bar is great, but anything over 30 minutes late is quite poor!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe can always count on theWe can always count on the Mendenhall Inn for fine food and a wonderful dining experience!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the updated menu withLoved the updated menu with the same superb quality and service.
