“They somehow managed to combine the friendliness of a local pub with the food of a fine restaurant. Highly recommend this gem. Havent tried the pizza place nectdoor but the wood fired oven makes pizza that looks delicious. I am a beer drinker but the cocktails look great! No, its not cheap but qhat is these days?“

“What a warm lunch spot! Very friendly Atmosphere ! We tried the Soup special, Shredded beef soup with cabbage! It was incredibly flavorful, rich and spiced perfectly! I also tried the Mexican tacos which were super authentic, and perfect for a Tuesday 😉 Also our server was super sweet and had a fantastic personality! Food came fast, and our quick lunch date turned into a lovely afternoon with my Beautiful Fiancé! 6/5 mama mias !“

“Stopped in last night with my boyfriend and best friend 5/3/25 for a drink and lucked out with a lovely duo performance! My boyfriend used to come to the Red Lion Inn as a kid and he hadn't been in years. We had to stop in while we were in town and it was a very special moment. The only downside would be we only ordered the nuts and they took 30 minutes to come out. Seemed like our waiter was preoccupied with another table and we couldn't help but take notice. Our waiter, very tall slender looking man, was being disrespectful to a younger couple who was staying at the Inn for a weekend getaway. He was hitting on the girlfriend and openly crossing a boundary. The boyfriend even expressed to the waiter how uncomfortable he was that this is his girlfriend. He was asking the couple how they met and if they were even attracted to each other. It was incredibly uncomfortable and creepy to witness and I was appalled at the servers remarks to the couple. As someone who has been a waitress and a bartender, talking down to customers and hitting on their partner is so unbelievably unprofessional and I would be fired immediately. I am really hoping a consequence can come from this. Really upsetting way to leave such a gorgeous establishment with so many memories. Out of respect for this incredible establishment I gave it a 4 stars but it would've been a 5 otherwise.“

“Found this from online reviews and decided to try and was very happy we did. From the service to the food, you got the feeling that they really cared and delivered beyond. The servers and host were so genuinely friendly, interested, and timing was perfect, I was very impressed. And then each course was a true pleasure, delicious, surprising, and interesting flavor combinations, cooked to perfection. It was our 15th anniversary which I had written in our opentable reservation and they made sure to make it special for us above and beyond. From a fancy meal in the Berkshires at a very cool resort-like setting, I'd recommend trying it.“
