    There were two visible mouse/rat bait boxes in the main dining room which was disturbing/disgusting.

    Memorable experience! Crab cakes were amazing. Butternut squash soup the best. Turkey Pot Pie incredible. 6'Dia biscuit, 3" high covered with delicious turkey pot pie filling. Toasted goat cheese salad terrific.

    Love the new diet codes on menu. I have severe restrictions and easily found 2 options (there were more) that I really enjoyed.

    First to visit to Mount Vernon and wanted to eat dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant is very quaint. Although the structure was built over 100 years after the original Mount Vernon, according to the host, the structure retains a historical feel. Our waitress was very polite, friendly, and checked in on us frequently. We had the shrimp and grits, turkey pot pie, crab cakes dinner, and fricassee. Everything had a hearty texture to it, bold flavors, and we definitely did not leave hungry. It was a great ending to our first tour at Mount Vernon. Highly recommend combining your visit with lunch or dinner afterwards.

    Service was very good. Prices are high for average food. The turkey pot pie was only warm when served, not much turkey. Others had salads which seemed a better value.

    Our waiter was very attentive. My granddaughter said that the grilled cheese was the best she had even eaten and she is one fussy child!!

    Been awhile since my wife and I had dinner there. Menu has been expanded. Food was well prepared and tasty. I had the turkey pot pie and my wife the soup and sandwich. Both great. Service was incredible. Great dining room with colonial music. We go there often for Sunday brunch but will be doing more dinners in the future.
