    Meals were not brought out together. Spare ribs were luke warm. Salmon was flavorless. Chocolate cake was mediocre. Bill brought out before we were asked for coffee and dessert. We had expected a finely prepared, professionally presented meal and were greatly disappointed. Waiter was nice, but very inexperienced.

    Even on a very busy night, we still had great food and service. It was really nice to eat outside on the veranda.

    We had a very pleasant experience on Mother's Day at the Inn. While we felt that the service could've been more attentive and the food could've been a much better value, we were also paying for the ambiance, and that did not disappoint. Overall, while this wasn't an amazing experience, we had a very fine time, and we might even return (on a non-holiday).

    Disappointing experience. Meal was mediocre relative to what we expected. Service extremely slow as we were deprioritized relative to the on-premise wedding. Wait staff genuinely tried hard but management didn’t give them sufficient resources to manage. No apologies offered and front staff didn’t have the decency to at least thank us for coming, when we left. For the price of the evening, I can find many other better options.

    Easter prefix felt so special everyone was stressed so nice. The prefix menu only had five options, but it was fine. Wish I had more dessert options.
