   An outstanding dining experience in every aspect. Relatively pricy but there’s transferred value from the experience as a whole. Sounds snobby but not meant to be at all. We love the place off season. Not sure it would be the same on a busy summer night.

   The entire dining experience is as good as it gets. The setting is perfect for a relaxed, intimate dinner. The service is unobtrusive, yet at the same time, full of attention. The meal courses were perfectly matched and prepared. I would recommend the White Barn Inn to anyone celebrating a special occasion.

   Our server(s) was excellent! He was charming, attentive, he even took care of my request for the lobster tasting menu which we both experienced last night on May 14th, 2022. He graciously, took some photos for our memories. On to the food, wonderful lobster menu...the opening like any good show was an awesome start to the meal...an avacado gin sorbet w/ lobster & troute roe. Then a super tastely lobster mini roll with caviar, pasta with special mushrooms & a nice oil lobster & chicken crackling, lobster bisque w/ basil, and the lamb with lobster bordelaise was a highlight! Finishing off with a big finale, with a champagne mousse, lobster & puff pastry... maybe a mango sauce...all was heavenly! And the atmosphere... their amazing piano player really helps create an experience, live entertainment that is wonderful! He even took a request:)

   I have always loved dining here but a few years ago the place sold and it was not quite the same HOWEVER, this gem is back on track and the food is as good as ever. This Chef can cook the perfect lobster dish! The servers were also very attentive and we loved Chris. Seriously, if you are looking to celebrate a small or large occassion I highly recommend the White Barn. The service and food are among life’s greatest pleasures.

   Nils was our server this evening and it was a great experience. We really enjoyed the new items on the menu from their new chef. The Foie Gras, Beef Tartare, and Beef Tenderloin were all excellent choices. Highly recommend. Thank you to the service and kitchen for the great time.

    White Barn Inn provided a lovely setting and outstanding service on Mother's Day. The staff was exceptional and the display of flowers visible from most spots in the dining room was gorgeous. The prix fixe menu had an inviting variety of choices. Plating of the food was thoughtful. The server and chef checked in tableside to be sure all was well during the meal. My husband and I both regretted that we hadn't offered more than the standard reply of "everything is fine" but hadn't even exchanged thoughts ourselves about the food at the point we were asked. Our overall assessment of the food was it was good but not excellent, which was a surprise given that everything else about the experience was. A mushroom toast appetizer had bread that could not be cut with a knife and fork or easily bitten into and was actually black underneath the sauce. Crab cake benedict was, in my husband's words, unremarkable but not poorly prepared. A cherry chocolate mousse desert was clever in presentation and delicious, although quite rich. That was a theme on the menu as it was difficult to find a way to choose courses on this prix fix three course meal to include a lighter option to balance all that was rich or sweet. I tried to do so by ordering a Lobster Cobb salad which came tossed in too much cream based dressing. It was our first visit and given the extraordinary attention to excellence in both the setting and service, we felt the food didn't match. It doesn't mean it wasn't good - but that is I guess the point - it was good but not at the level we expected. We hope this doesn't deter diners from visiting as this was a Mother's Day brunch, one of the most difficult days to execute a menu. Instead, we hope that you might be more quick thinking than we were during our visit to bring issues to the attention of the staff. In hindsight, the technical issues I experienced with the toast and the salad likely would have been addressed if I had!

    Great food and the service was ok except for one incident when I let the waiter know that the drink ordered did not go well with my meal because the tastes clashed. He said that “he did not tell me that it would go with my meal”. I had never blamed him but he still made that snide comment. Besides that the food was good and the valet driver was actually my favorite.

    This was our 1st time back to the Barn in quite a few years. Things have definitely changed. Still beautiful barn and flowers. Servers were prompt and available even though one accidentally whacked me in the head, my neck still hurts. Some servers were dressed in ill-fitting suits, a food server had on leggings and a sweater, a man in jeans brought food out. Not quite like the old days. The Sous Chef did come out to put the sauce on the lamb dish which was a nice touch.The food was mostly delicious. My partner had the lobster menu and loved it. I found the portions to be even smaller than ever. I did not care for the artichoke tart and the super al dente past but I did have a literal tablespoon of the most delicious cucumber sorbet, another tablespoon would have been wonderful. I know it is fine tiny dining but sometimes it's a bit too small. This was not the fault of the White Barn and I have never seen such a thing before especially when spending $550 for a meal for 2. A man at a table in my eye line actually took out his injectable medication, filled a 2 syringes and then lifted up his shirt to reveal a big white belly and injected himself TWICE! Then 10 minutes later he got up and went to the bathroom. Why not inject himself in the bloody bathroom. WTF. It was our anniversary and we always enjoyed it when they wrote Happy Anniversary in chocolate on our dessert plate but alas that has changed but we did get to little pieces of maple sugar candy. It used to feel like a real event to dine at the WBI. This just felt different to me. This is not to say that you shouldn't go. I have been in the restaurant biz and notice more than the average diner.

    My husband and I came here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We both had high expectations (based on the price and the clout), but left feeling disappointed in the whole affair. He got the Lobster Tasting Menu and I got the 4 course meal. Most of the courses were quite tasty, but (with the exception of his wagu ribeye and my butter poached halibut which were both phenomenal) not exceptional. The service was good and the setting was nice, but good and nice do not make me happy with a $600 meal.

    The White Barn Inn has a lovely setting, and the food is very good. The menu is a fixed four courses (or a more extensive lobster-based option which we didn't have). The highlights of our meals were the quail, which was delicious, and the chocolate souffle. The steak was just ok. The price of the four courses was not obvious to us on the menu, for specific choices it shows a surcharge, but it felt to us that the overall cost was kept fairly hidden. We don't mind paying for fine dining and we expected the bill to be high, but we were surprised by just how expensive it was. We had a lovely time and enjoyed it, but we would choose other options in the future. There are so many staff it feels a little overwhelming at times. We would have preferred to simply have a waiter who chatted to us and was attentive. It's very nice but be careful.

    Check in was smooth and pleasant. This was my date’s first fine dining experience, the server was so intense that she felt rushed, second hand anxiety, and extremely uncomfortable every time he was at the table. The way he interrupted her to head of questions made her feel like she should “just shut up and ask no questions or speak at all.” Really made it hard to enjoy what was unquestionably the most expensive meal of our lives when she was so distracted by our server’s frankly bizarre behavior. Then there was the next 4 hours of the night where she complained non stop that her first fine dining experience was overshadowed by some of the worst service we have ever experienced outside of fast food. Still want to try coming back for Tea, but would ask for a different server.

    I took my partner here to celebrate her birthday. Without a doubt hands down one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. We were greeted warmly and brought swiftly to our table. Our waiter was top shelf, no pretentious behavior that sometimes you find in other dining establishments. We started with a delicious cocktail and a sazerac. We were brought little tastes compliments of the chef, choice of breads and they catered to a gluten sensitivity. We were served pork belly and beef tartare then invited to tuck into a butternut soup and a torchon of foie gras. Our waiter expertly paired our wines for our entrees of venison and duck that were cooked perfectly. We topped off our dinner with a twist on a campfire favorite and a pineapple pie with double espresso. The barn is a delightful old salt water farm turned into a beautiful dining experience. Warmly lit, with superior service, and inviting. It was a perfect experience and I could not be more satisfied.

    Lovely ambience. especially during Christmas. The pre-fixed menu was good, but beware there are up charges on many of the dishes that are the most interesting. The desert menu is lacking. You receive various wonderful butters and spreads and they offer you one piece of bread and never offer again. Beware if you go with your partner, they will automatically think you are married and start the meal off with "Good Evening Mr. and Mrs."
