    Wonderful restaurant. It was my wife’s birthday and they gave us 2 complimentary glasses of sparkling wine and also put a candle in her desert without even requesting as well.

    Did not care for our waiter. Overly solicitous. But then he disappeared at the very end of the meal, so another server had to take our cards, etc…. Also, we didn’t care for the room we were in. Would have much preferred the main room near the bar. We will request that in the future.

    Our 8pm reservation on the Tap room was not honored although we arrived only 5 mins. late. We agreed to sit in main dining room with tap menu, but ambiance was not what we were looking for. Bench seat was very uncomfortable and banquet seats were very low. After complaining, we were moved into Tap room.

    We came for an Anniversary dinner. We arrived early to tour the grounds which were wonderful, meticulously maintained. Overall, the staff were helpful and accommodating. They offered us complementary Champaign (which was very good). Service was uneven. Our drinks were sitting at the bar 10 minutes before they were finally brought to our table. We ordered ravioli and a cheeseburger. Both arrived 35+ minutes later and both were inedible. Neither of us could finish our plate. The bill was over $100. Portions were good, but again the food was inedible. We will return to the Mayflower bar for drinks (and for the ambiance), but will never get food here again.

    The garden room is beautiful and comfortable; a lovely place to enjoy a summer meal! The raw oysters were exceptional. The salmon rillette was divine. We would have preferred the burger without the unique anise flavored sauce, though the meat was of high quality. The Caesar salad was satisfactory—nothing extraordinary. All of the food tasted clean, fresh, and elevated. Service was friendly and efficient. Thank you! We plan to return!

    We have been to the Mayflower numerous times, even since the changeover to Auberge. This time, it was not as good as previous experiences. Not sure why, but the service was uneven and fairly inattentive. The menu is limited and expensive and the food was average for everyone at the table. Oysters were warm, chicken was too salty, burger was not great. Oh well--too bad because we love the ambience so much.

    I made our reservation for lunch at the Tap Room for our party of three. We were told upon our "on time" arrival that lunch would no longer be served but we could be served in the Garden Room. The menu had just been changed since I made our reservation and we all found it difficult to find something appealing on the new menu. One person in our party was not served what she ordered and yet we were charged for their mistake. Finally, I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion; a birthday. Although the waiter asked who's birthday it was, he simply said Happy Birthday and that was the end of that. At over $140.00 plus tip for 3 people at lunch, I was disappointed to say the least. The inn was beautiful, but I would not recommend this place for dining.
