What a wonderful restoration of a historic house. The colonial atmosphere is exceptional, very much like Williamsburg...but better since it is in historic Delaware. The staff were all very professional and knowledgeable. The menu and food were outstanding. Will definitely return again and again!

We dined on Christmas Eve. Table was ready when we arrived. Service starting from front of the house to server, runner and bar was excellent. Food was cooked exactly as ordered , arrived at perfect temperature. Dining room was quiet and nicely furnished.

Had a great Christmas Eve dinner (I'm a tough marker), and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Shared five appetizers and all were very good. Bar area is wonderful with some tables, but otherwise small intimate rooms make for a great ambiance. Service was excellent. Will be back often.

Our first time visiting Booth House and we loved it! We sat in the Tavern at a high top and had a leisurely dinner with friends. Soup, appetizers, dinner, drinks and dessert were all wonderful! Server was great! bar was busy and fireplace was pretty. We will definitely return.
