  • "Very intimate setting and perfect for us who stayed at the French Manor inn. Chef was flexible as my girlfriend is a vegetarian and has certain food allergies. He was very willing to make something special off the menu. Food was excellent, service was good and very friendly. If you want an intimate romantic setting, sit next to either fireplace."

  • "My wife and I visited for our anniversary last year and were blown away in every aspect. This year we took another couple with us for New Years and had what seemed to be teenage servers ( which was Not bad but one was disrespectful, no big deal) the food was tasty but the portion size compared to last year shrunk quite a bit almost to the point where my wife and I were a little embarrassed to bring our friends after we bragged it up. The food was splendid, teenaged servers were a little iffy and were were there for 3 hours and we didn't get dessert. We still love the manor, and will go again but were a little disappointed this time."

  • "My experience on 12/27/13 was very good; however, my dining experience on 12/26/13 was not. This review pertains to dinner on 12/26/13. We arrived at our reservation time, 8PM & placed beverge orders shortly after 8PM. My husband ordered beer. Four choices were available but none were cold. His drink arrived at 9 PM. My husband's appetizer arrived shorly after 9PM but mine was served to another diner so I had to wait until another was prepared. It was served after my husband completed his. My soup was just barely warm enough Service was very slow. We completed our meal after 10:30. We did not order desssert or coffee. We dined here on 12/27 because gift certificates to use. Several other guests canceled their reservations for 12/27/13."

  • "My wife and I had just recently dined there to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Needless to say, we've been to many romantic restaurants. But this one beat them all! The high ceilings, the fans, the music, the lighting, the chef, the menu, and oh how warm the fireplace! It is incredibly difficult to drive to with all the crazy roads we had to take, but WELL worth it! For an appetizer, soup, 2 entrees, and a glass of wine, with gratuity came to $130. And that's cheap coming from a New Yorker."

  • "The dining room was warm and inviting. The Christmas tree seemed 15ft tall and was decorated beautifully and the lights on it were perfect. Every table had it own sleigh with pine and ribbon. The entire room had huge wreaths on the two fireplaces, which were lit, adding to the ambience. Pine garland was draped throughout. It was not overdone, it was just right. The food was superb. It was prepared perfectly and served elegantly. The wait staff were friendly and way above average. We will return and will recommend The French Manor to family and friends. It truly is a magical dining experience. (The chocolate soufflé is wonderful and definitely worth waiting for!)"

  • "The food is really good and it is very romantic. Perfect for a special date night. If you are in the area, go... but bring your wallet, it is pricey but worth it."

  • "My husband had the veal porterhouse steak which he said was excellent. I enjoyed the salmon. Great tasting filet mignon soup. Chocolate cake was on the dry side. Service was slow and tables are too close to each other. I could reach out and touch the couple next to us. Not romantic at all."

  • "The French Manor provides fine dining in the great room of an elegant manor house built in the 1930s as a summer house for the mining magnate Joseph Hirshhorn and later owned by Samuel Henry Kress, founder of a five and ten cent store chain. The dining room has high ceilings, rare pecky cyprus paneling, and giant fireplaces at each end. Well trained service staff serve delicious leisurely paced dinners from an a la carte menu. Set high on a hill, an outdoor terrace provides a beauriful view of the surrounding countryside and is a lovely setting for cocktails or dinner."

  • "The restaurant required a jacket for men and suitable clothing for women. We were the only people in the restaurant! Seemed a little silly that it was talked up to be so fancy and then no one was there. Food was very good but the portion sizes for the price didn't match up. Service was excellent but again we were their only customers. The bar was under renovation while we were there which was dissapointing that we did not know before-hand. The experience was very nice but would not go back. We don't mind spending money but this was very pricey for very little!"

  • "The French Manor is a great place for a romantic dinner. The ambiance is wonderful, the service superb and the food delicious. I went there for a late dinner (do call for reservation) and was impressed. Guys wear a jacket or you have to use one of their own which might not match what you're wearing."

  • "We have been here many times and the food is always excellent! This is a very romantic place and the service is impeccable. One of the few places left where a jacket is required. It's nice to play dress up every once in a while. You will not be disappointed at the French Manor!"

  • "The total experience at The French Manor was spectacular. We booked for our anniversary and found that it was the perfect place for a very special evening. Great food, wonderful ambiance and impecable service. If you enjoy fine dining and french cuisine, you will love this restaurant. Its a bit out of the way, but well worth the trip."

  • "European style menu (perfect for us), no massive piles of salad, food, etc. The highly skilled sommelier/bartender was very knowledgable in selection of both a before dinner drink/glass of wine, as well as a Champagne recommendation. My wife had the soup de jour, tomato & wild mushroom, I had a Lobster Bisque like no other I have ever tasted. We each had a small salad, everything fresh, however this description does not do them justice! Dinner-For her a fresh lobster, scallop(s)-2 & crabmeat risotto, myself Filet Migon (apprx 5oz) & a perfectly prepared lobster tail(again, European size portion, apprx 5oz as well). Dessert a Non-flour Chocolate Torte, me a Ginger & Chocolate Souflee, both out of this world! Savor the time, relax & enjoy!"

  • "The food was excellent, great atmosphere for a nice romantic dinner, worth the price, quality of food excellent. The initial drink service was slow as the waitress came twice for our dinner order but we had not ordered our wine. After we ordered everyone was very attentive from the waitress to the bus staff. If the wine stewart/bartender was more attentive and gave suggestions for wine it would have been a perfect night."
