By far the best dining experience I have had in a very long time. We went for the first time for my birthday, and I could not ask for more. Staff was wonderful even though it was 10 degrees out, food on point and cider incredible. We will be back, especially in the summer, in shorts, with the doggos!!

The service was great - we had multiple people check on us throughout our meal. The wait staff was knowledgeable and courteous. The food was delicious and different than what I typically see on menus in the metro area. All of the drink mixers and juices are made/fresh squeezed in house. I’ll be going back!

For my husband’s 75th birthday we wanted to go someplace special, so we chose The Greenbriar Inn. We couldn’t have made a better choice. We went on a Wednesday so it was very quiet. The food was incredible, and the wait staff was attentive, not hovering. The beet salad, halibut and scallops were perfect and the dessert splurge of blackberry galette was delicious.
