Our server, Lewis, was exceptional. He was patient with us as we took our time ordering and chatting at the table. He made thoughtful suggestions and recommendations, never missed a mark, and was friendly and warm from start to finish. The wonderful hostesses, especially Tatiana (I think), was incredible as well. My high heel happened to break the moment I walked on the patio and she assisted me immediately and helped me to temporarily fix my heel with some well placed tape. Wonderful staff, food, location & ambiance.

I have always loved this place for lunch but the prices are over the top now and the value not good. $6 for a glass of ice tea - really? I ordered the burger and it didn't look as good as what I can get at a fast food restaurant. On the plate was the burger (1/3# or less) a small dish of ketchup a small dish of fries. If my husband had been with me he would have gone away still hungry. There was no garnish, no pickle nothing to make the plate look inviting. 3 items that was it. It was really sad looking. My friend was having her birthday and what they gave her for her birthday was a joke. When the server put it down we laughed. I'm very sorry to say I will not be back.

This is an amazing hidden gem! Midweek for lunch on the veranda was very peaceful and with great weather (and movable shade), it made our outdoor dining experience quite enjoyable. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was excellent. I highly recommend dining here!

The service was not good. He was not helpful, before I could order a drink he took the menu from me. Not very friendly. Food was good but very small portions. My friend ordered salmon and it was a tiny piece with no side. She was hungry after.

Our entree was delivered 4 minutes after our salad arrived. Braised shorts ribs. 2 servings were mostly fat. The head waiter did replace it. Our waitress Adrianna was excellent. We often eat at the Inn. Just were disappointed this time. Plus we invited guests.

This is a local place for us but recently it has gone down hill a bit. Value to price was just not there. We were wrapping up our bill, which took a long time for them to bring it to us when the hostess said we overstayed our time there and asked us to leave. 1) Didn’t even know they had a time limit 2) the waiter is the one who took a long time. 3) I was literally still drinking my prosecco. I left feeling insulted. Not so neighborly anymore.

We were relegated to the Golf Bar from our 5:30 table because they wouldn't add a chair for my granddaughter. Although while there, there was a cold breeze and no active heaters nearby. The service in the Golf Bar was attentive. The atmosphere not what I wanted for my family. The food was terrible.

My friend and I ate there on Mother's day. We were not impressed with the menu. Should have offered more for Mother's day. We ordered a salad which was fine, and also ordered the Muffaletta sandwich. It was very cold and would have been much better if the pretzel bun had been toasted and the cheese melted. It wasn't bad, but expected it to be better. Little disappointed because I wanted to impress my friend by taking her to the RB Inn.

Very welcoming from the time we walked in and were greeted by the Hostess who seated us in the perfect spot overlooking the golf course with an umbrella shading us. Once the sun went down the heaters came on. We brought our dog with us and a water bowl was brought out for her without asking. My Salmon dinner was fabulous! Everyone was very thoughtful and attended to every detail.
