The redesigned rustic-meets-modern ambiance compliments the Contemporary American menu which features premium cuts of meat, ocean-fresh seafood and signature raw bar. Seasonal outdoor dining on the flagstone patio is available upon request.
In 2013, Blue Bell Inn underwent extensive renovations for over a year. Various historical aspects were enhanced through thoughtful restoration and new materials such as solid white oak and porcelain tile floors were introduced to create a stunning architectural mélange spanning three centuries.

    We have been to the Blue Bell many times over the past and we most enjoy the bar area and the patio area. It's really nice when they can put the glass doors up and make you feel like you are outside.

    Waitress was not as attentive taking our order or bringing our check. We noticed she was spending a lot of time at a table of friends she knew. I ordered French toast which did not come with my order. I had to tell the server and the waitress on two different times that I was waiting for it. By the time I got it I was done with my eggs. Upon eating my potatoes I bite into a piece of steel wool from a scouring pad. I didn’t tell the waitress because it took her took her too long to come back to our table. It was not a good experience.

    We had a nice time and a very tasty meal on the outdoor patio. The notable exception to our enjoyment was the excessive volume of the live music played throughout the evening. The singer was actually quite good, but his (recorded) backup music was so loud everyone was shouting to be heard in conversations. Tone it down, man, and everyone will appreciate you more!

    twin fillets were very small but good, one was to have crab on top, (hard to find), one was to have bacon, bacon was a no show. Only other thing on the large plate were 10 to 15 smaller than a match stick crispy potato strings. No little salad or bread to go with it for $25.00. Disappointed! Check was brought but the server forgot to bring our tea and coffee.

    Came in for my birthday celebration and had Erich as our server and sat outside on the patio. Erich went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Everyone at the host stand was very inviting and the food was delicious. Erich is one of the best servers at Blue Bell and I can’t recommend him enough to friends who want to have a great dining experience! Thank you Blue Bell Inn for a great dinner and thank you Erich for making our experience great!

    What a lovely luncheon experience! Our server, Brandon, was excellent, and the food quality, as always, was outstanding. We ate outside, but as all areas of the Inn are able to open to the central courtyard, anyone can eat almost “outside” from any adjacent area, and feel safe with lots of fresh air circulation. We will return, for sure.

    Untrained staff was really annoying. She gave us dinner menus and was not aware there was a lunch menu. Fortunately I have dined here dozens of time and told her. She said that the restaurant recently updated the menu and had eliminated a number of things. I asked her to double check.

    Overall we had a good experience. The food was delicious and everything arrived surprisingly fast yet very fresh and hot. The drinks were strong and the portions just right. The only thing I wished was different was the noise levels. There was a live band playing in the courtyard (which we enjoyed) but between a private event and several large parties, it seemed like everyone was yelling over the band and the noise level dampened the experience a bit.

    We were seated straight away and Sean our waiter, quickly checked in on the table. The atmosphere was relaxed during the late lunch hour and the food was delicious. We were celebrating a college graduation, and Sean made it a point to bring my daughter a special little treat at the end. I highly recommend a visit to Blue Bell Inn!

    We come here regularly and enjoy courtyard seating during the season - food is predictably good, as is the service staff and ambiance (not sure how server table assignments are made, but they seem to be quite scattered throughout the restaurant.. could be unanticipated peaks and valleys, but seems to be a regular occurrence) - all said, a fine establishment and an enjoyable evening.

    Excellent cuisine with good service. Decor is uninteresting and does not match the inn as a place with colonial origins. Too much noise from the bar. Not the place for a romantic dining experience. Okay for diners who don't mind the noise.

    From the moment we stepped through the door our party knew we made the correct choice. Our server was attentive, personable and thoroughly knowledgeable about the brunch menu. One of our group was delayed (eventually declared a no-show) yet the server didn't blink an eye, graciously adapting. The menu offered more than sufficient choices to please our diverse tastes. From all reports and "uumms" around the table, all were pleased.

    All of the food we had was delicious and well prepared. The calamari app was especially tasty and creative. Unlike most restaurants nowadays this restaurant seemed to have their act together from a staffing and service perspective. The ambience on the terrace is very pleasant and unlike any other restaurant in the area.
