    I made a reservation at Mendenhall, knowing that we could rely on a wonderful meal in a fantastic setting. We were not disappointed. The quality never varies. The service is always excellent. The ambience is perfect for a lovely quiet meal.

    We brought family from California here for brunch. We were seated in the bar area & were the only table there for a while. The buffet itself was very nice & the food was good. Our server was ok, but she seemed like she didn't really want to be there. She brought refills of our drinks to our table for the 2 men, but we weren't ready for a refill. When she came back to the table, she asked if we needed anything. My cousin asked for a refill of her drink & she never came back to refill. We had to ask again & she seemed irritated. All in all, it was a nice meal, but it would have been nice to feel comfortable & welcome.

    Celebrating another wonderful anniversary (44 years) dining experience at the Mendenhall Inn. We enjoyed the Clams Casino, Lobster Bisque, Prime Rib, Salmon, and complimentary Chocolate Cake. Please extend our appreciation to the chef(s) for our delicious food. Service was excellent thanks to Emily. Every year we visit to celebrate our anniversary and everything is consistently great. So much so, we now feel confident to invite family and friends to join us for an enjoyable night out whenever.

    Dining at the Mendenhall Inn was a pleasure on a Surf& Turf Wednesday. The service was attentive, the food really excellent. Especially the crab stuffed mushrooms to start and the Bananas Foster and Irish Coffee, created table side Flambé for a spectacular dessert course. Filet & Crabcake was enjoyed, as was a gorgeous ly prepared glazed 1/2 duckling. Drinks and wine were all enjoyable too. This is a great place for a special occasion or special date night.

    We love the staff and food at the Mendenhall Inn. Having said that, my choice last night was not my favourite. Stripped Bass. So know not to order that again. (personal choice). We sat on the patio and a few other guests were there also. Juan , the restaurant Manager greeted us by name and showed us to the table. We had requested, the patio. There is a fire pit and xmall lights which add to the ambiance. Jess, our super wait staff was delightful and very knowledgeable, as always. My hub's choices included two appetizers ; Crab Bisque and one other... He enjoyed both. Billy, the bartender now has three mocktails and they are very good! I chose one with cranberry juice, basil and topped up with tonic water. Delicious. My favourite.. We'll be back! Thank you all..
