    Great food, Great ambiance, great location, be prepared to spend some money for the greatness! Do not go expecting a beer with dinner, they do not serve beer; When I inquired why, the bartender believes that you don't get beer in France at restaurants!

    I liked the food very much. It’s ambitious, interesting and well done. Anyhow I gave the cooking 3 stars, because sometimes it was a bit overambitious. Also, the presentation suffered because the plates were heavily overloaded. It’s well meant, but esthetics suffer and it hard to manage eating, cutting your food without making a mess. The portions of side dishes were massively out of proportion. A disappointment was the bread basket (for a charge) with prefab bread of questionable quality and even worse prefab desserts. A restaurant of this price range should not have prefabs. Period.

    We ate at the French Manor two nights. I would like to comment on these items. First night they tan out of our preferred vodka. Remember that for now. Next night they ran out of All Brands of vodka stating that there was a large run on specialty vodka drinks the past weekend. Who runs the backend ordering? They couldn’t reorder quickly? As to the menu, Daily specials ran for two days! I guess all days of the week are the same. At breakfast, they ran out of items for omelets and soft drinks. The reason we are upset with these problems is that the restaurant is a Four Diamond,AAA rated establishment for the last 10 years . What is AAA criteria in rating ? We have dined in the states ,Europe and the Caribbean and trusted a recognized organization in our dining experience. Where is the failure?

    We sat on the covered stone veranda, which was lovely with a gorgeous view of the mountains. The service was wonderful, and the food was quite good until my husband’s filet mignon arrived. He does not like charred food, and the steak was charred. Beyond that, we suspect that it was grass-fed beef, and he likes grain- finished beef. The steak may have been “aged” as well, which he does not like. He did tell our server that he didn’t care for the meat and asked for some type of sauce to mask the unpleasant taste which the chef provided. Nevertheless, the flavor of the $63 filet was not to his liking. The management did comp our coffee and the dessert we shared in response to his displeasure with his entree, which we appreciated. The only thing that I can say is to ask questions about how dishes are prepared and if you have any specific requirements for cooking food, please tell the server to communicate that to the chef. The French Manor is a beautiful restaurant. It is very expensive for the area; however, I do recommend that you go at least once. It is quite an experience!

    Food, service, ambiance all excellent. My only criticism, and it is minor, was the music. The pianist was fine, but the piped-in music should be exclusively jazz. Not hardcore, but Bennett, Sinatra, Ella, etc. Personally, classic rock is my favorite genre. I just don’t think it’s fitting for such a fine establishment.

    We’ve been eating at this restaurant for about 30 years but I think this will be the last time. We ordered a bottle of wine so we were drinking on an empty stomach. Usually they bring bread out & This is the first time they actually charged $12 for a basket of bread. That wasn’t so bad but the entree’s are between $58 to $65 which to me is outrageous for PA. This is not NYC. The service was awful & when we ordered a bottle of wine we were told they didn’t have it, we ordered another more expensive wine and they also did not have it. I ordered duck and it was very good but not worth $63. We told them it was our 40 anniversary and every restaurant we have been to where there is a special occasion, they usually either bring us a glass of sparkling wine or a dessert. Nothing….. when we were asked how the meal was at the end I told the guy it was ok, not the way it used to be. He didn’t seem to care and took our credit card. He never should have asked.

    We had very high expectations. It was our 48th wedding anniversary so we were hoping for something special but we were disappointed. Food was ok at best. Didn't have the wine on the wine list we wanted then didn't have our second choice either. French onion soup was was good. Duck breast was supposed to be medium rare at chef's suggestion but came medium well, filet mignon lacked flavor. Thought there may be some recognition for our milestone anniversary and there was none even though we noted it on our reservation request. Menu was expensive but to pay extra to get bread service for $12 was disappointing at an expensive restaurant. Maybe it was just a bad night but overall we were disappointed

    We ate here because the hotel packge included a voucher for a portion of the dinner cost. The food was very good, but the portions seamed small for the prices charged. $15 for a side salad was pricey as were most of the other items. The filet was very good and plated very well. We ate on the Terrace which provided a wonderful view. We were lucky that the weather was warm and the breezes calm. We passed on eating in the dining room because of the smell of old mold within the building. It was air conditioned and seemed too cold for comfortable eating.

    The Cajun chicken was extremely dry. Sits on a bed of rice with cold corn. As it was served the waiter dropped food all over the table. The mussels were pretty bad - the sauce was strong and thick and drowned the entire meal. Asked for a mocktail and was brought one without being asked flavour preferences etc. not ideal. Ambiance and view was great.

    Best lobster bisque I’ve had anywhere! I have to say I love dining here. The atmosphere, the food, the service! Speaking of service, Emma, our server was wonderful. She was very professional, perceptive, and attentive; more so than I’ve noted in many of my dining experiences elsewhere. Although not present at tonight’s dining, previous and subsequent dining ranks Isaac with the best cocktails! And Donald, who also provided attentive and professional service, as well as David, and of course…Jude! Thank you all for the service, food, and atmosphere that keeps us coming back.
