    We went for Sunday brunch. Hubby had the Crab Bennie, and I had the Eastern Shore Cobb Salad. Both were delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. It is obvious the staff, front and back of house, are well trained and the place is a well oiled machine. We had a lovely time, left full and happy, and will definitely be back!

    This was the first time visiting the Valley Inn. I took my wife for mother's day dinner. We had a great experience. The host was very pleasant, the waitress was very polite and knowledgeable. The food was prepared perfectly and they have a very extensive bourbon list which is right up my alley. We will definitely return and hopefully try out your outdoor dining.

    While I went on Mother’s Day the wait staff seemed somewhat frantic. I had to ask for little things like sweetener, salt and cracked pepper… dinner rolls were tasteless and seemed to be store brought… for the price the Lille things matter

    Meal - Steak salads and Caesar with chicken protein. Both selections were tasty and well seasoned. Wonderful lunch. Sized correctly. Thank you for the ongoing chilled salad bowls. Wait Staff - Monica - menu knowledgeable. Solid recommendations. Attentive and helpful. Pricing - to the extent recession and/or supply chain management price influences are better controlled - the menu prices require a review. Several diners have noted the price increases and the impact on there choices. Any additional price controls or reductions may go a long way. Thank you in advance.

    Great food service too! The worst was a very loud group (8) who were obnoxious and very loud, and they thought it was very funny and it did hurt my dinner with my friend. Many of the people sitting around them also asked him to be quiet. I’m pretty sure they came in a little bit happy because it looked like they had been is a hunt cup. I feel that the management really should’ve moved them into another situation or upstairs because I know saw two tables got up and asked for to be changed..

    My stepfather Guy Miller was a close friend of the Hatfield family going back many years. We dined there with him and now return to celebrate his life. The staff were very accommodating and told us stories about Bud. And we were so pleased to find that the crab cakes are just as good as always.

    Front of the House - Atlas Restaurant Group continues to invest is presentation; training; professional staff; and several other details. It was great to see Chris back in the house. Ambassador Patti continues to glide through the through making success appear effortless. Genuine and one-of-a-kind. Wait Staff - Monica - attentive; helpful; anticipates your request; and contributes to the dining experience - either work or pleasure. Meal - Steak salad. Temperature medium rare. Prepared to standards. Seasoned and tasty. Chilled salad bowl - a professional touch. Presentation nicely done. Comment - consider monitoring the lettuce size - last week a knife was necessary to reduce the lettuce size to an "appropriate" size. Fifty (50) years ago - a sign of well managed kitchen - Customers do not require a knife to eat a salad. With the Atlas Restaurant Group investments historic; current; and planned - lets not overlooking the lettuce details. Thank you
