   Showed up for reservation and restaurant was closed. There was a note on the door the stated "sorry we are taking a break, will return September 16th". I was not contacted by the restaurant whatsoever. This was a suprise anniversary dinner and we drove an hour for nothing. I called and emailed them with no response as to how the can make amends. It was a Saturday night, we called around all other fine dining establishments to be told they were booked. Had to settle for a low end restauraunt. So there we are eating at a low end restaurant dressed up in suit and her a dress.The food was really bad. Read all reviews about this place. DO NOT GO!

   I’ll start by saying the inn is beautiful and the ambiance is gorgeous. We were excited to try this for a date night! We sat on the patio on a beautiful fall night. Our server appeared new in the industry but no big deal everyone has to learn. We are tolerant people and patient. Drinks and food came relatively fast no issues there. There were only about 8 other tables seated late dinner. The wedge salad and French onion soup were good, not great. My husband got the halibut special, he thought it had very little flavor and overcooked. I got the Canadian white fish, better flavor but a little charred. We will definitely give it another try though as we loved the location and atmosphere.

   A reluctant return visit after swearing off the place for surly bar service and mediocre food. New team is in place and they are doing a great job. Matthew our server shared his commitment to make the place great again and we believe. Definitely on the right track. We will return happily.

   Great restaurant! Loved the food and the service. Very nice atmosphere. We came here from out of town and definitely exceeded our expectations! Worth every penny

   Beautiful tiki lit outdoor patio for social distance dining, and gorgeous indoor dining room with plenty of space if the weather was bad. Perfect martinis, delicious seafood bisque, wonderful pasta entrees. Kitchen timing was great, and server team was a delight, even the trainees had the right attitude.

   In this time of the pandemic, my husband and wanted to enjoy a nice romantic meal. We haven’t been to a restaurant since March. The waiter was to chatty. I really didn’t want to know his personal life or the fact his girlfriend is the bartender. He highly suggested the Halibut. We both orders that. The rice was more the consistency of a mashed potato. The so called slaw was a tasteless mess. Neither worm or cold. As we were finishing dinner the waiter said thanks for ordering the Halibut. Because of you! I won a bet with my girlfriend about who could sell the most halibut. Never once did he pour a a drop of wine. Simply opened the bottle sat it down and walked away. We were very disappointed. Won’t be back. We were looking forward to an intimate dinner. Not not idle conversation with a waiter.

   A delightful evening in the garden terrace of the DBI. If you like a Manhattan, order the DBI Manhattan. A perfect combination of food, drink, service and ambiance. Will definitely be back soon.
