   I really liked this restaurant. From the decor to the perfectly prepared food everything was great. Arriving there was really neat as you go through an old-school looking elevator. Upon entering I was greatly very kindly and didn't have to wait long to be seated. The setting was very romantic with low light setting. The food was delicious and prepared very well! I really liked it and will definitely be coming back here.

   Shadowbrook is a lovely place. It's unique, special and romantic - it makes for nice memories, and the food and service are generally delightful. My few, minor complaints are these: 1) the hostess was downright rude and unpleasant (not a good first impression upon arrival) - even if you can't help someone right away, look up and give a smile and friendly greeting; 2) the bathrooms are not easy to find/get too and always have a line; 3) twice I've requested well in advance to sit at a table not next to kids (because we rarely get a romantic night away from our own kids so we want quiet time at a place like Shadowbrook), but both times we were seated at tables immediately next to tables with kids; and 4) we were seated ten minutes later than our 6:30 reservation time despite checking in thirty minutes early for the reservation.

   Our reservation could have been handled better. Upon arrival, which was approx 10 min before our reservation time, we were asked to check back closer to our reservation time. Really? 10 minutes? So we complied, and checked back only to be given the buzzer. Why not give the buzzer when we checked in? Waited another 20 min before being seated! Seemed a bit stand off-ish. Other than that overall good experience!

   Food and service were good and they have a large menu. We had Prime Rib and Blackened Lamb and both were good, if basic. I wouldn't call it fine dining but good quality for the price. One complaint is that it was really loud - we had to practically yell across the table to be heard. For this reason alone I wouldn't go back. Forget about having a relaxing or romantic dinner here.

   I took my partner to Shadowbrook for a romantic birthday dinner. This was our first experience at this establishment. It started out wonderful. We were seated at a beautiful table over looking the water. Our waiter started off a little rocky. I had to ask another waiter if we could get a menu after sitting there for 5 minutes. After that the waiter was outstanding....until the end of dinner. We became less important and everyone around us were top priority. It took him a very long time to bring us the desert menu. We were going to get the check and leave. We decided to stay and get a desert. He sold us on a desert that was terrible. He also forgot the reason why we were there in the first place and didn’t bring her a birthday sundae like about 5 other tables around us received. Unfortunately, the ending of a wonderful date ended up with a bad taste in our mouth.

   This is a one of a kind restaurant and it's been around 70 years this year so you know they are doing something right. The location, the special touches not seen everywhere, and then there's the food. I am a foodie, I admit it, and you will love the food. Even the s house salad is scrumptious! Did I mention they will pick you up and deliver you back to your motel, B&B for a gratuity only? And the car is vintage!

    Shadowbrook continues to be one of our favorite restaurants. The place is so beautiful and the quality of food, service, wine is consistent and good. Always a good choice.
