I've been to the Ostrich Room several times over the past year and it's always been hoppin'. I'm not sure there's another place where I'm more likely to make friends with people at the next table! It's a great pleasure to jump up and dance with otherwise strangers. Like a wedding reception that way! The staff is fun, funny and attentive -- they've accommodated us whether a party of 2 or of 14. And I'm literally dreaming as I type of the homemade focaccia, deviled eggs, green salad and rigatoni alla vodka. In my dream I'm enjoying a cocktail -- The Tea Between Worlds. Both those last two items contain vodka and I don't even like vodka -- but I LOVED them! Don't miss the Evan Lanoue Trio. Those guys have the talent to headline a stadium concert! What a privilege to experience them in the warm confines of the Ostrich Room...

The food was delicious. The cheese board and deviled eggs were both excellent appetizers. We had the burger—it was fantastic. The drink menu is creative, and you can tell they really know what they’re doing. Best of all was the live music. For me, it’s the perfect package: great food and drinks paired with fun live entertainment.

Gorgeous and delicious cocktails, great friendly service, warm, cozy and charming space! Went to grab a drink and dinner on a whim and it was nice to be back! French fries are to die for perfect, although our burgers were not cooked to ordered temperature. :(. But overall great place to listen to live music, grab a gorgeous cocktail, wander around the property (they have a chess board to play too!).

I had the worst martini in my life, very poorly made. Food was mediocre ( cold polenta, and ay over cooked asparagus…… ) Service was good very attentive, ambiance was good too, but drink and food was very poor, made the experience very disappointed.

The focaccia bread is a must get! The fries were the crispiest most delicious compliment to the burger. Happy we were able to get in despite not having a reservation.

Great place for a drink or a whole meal. Lovely room, great food, great bartender, and server. Music Wed thru Sat. I have been twice, and the bluegrass group on Wednesday, was very good, and the blues group, on a Saturday, was fantastic.
I love The Ostrich Room. We were lucky enough to sit on the comfy sofa in front of a roaring fireplace eating our delicious meals. The place is small, intimate, nicely spaced tables. I had filet mignon, which was unarguably one of the best cooked meats I've ever eaten. Prosecco was top notch. Staff is too. And one of the best things about this place is the musical entertainment - low key, lovely.

The Appletree Inn and Ostrich Room are terrific. We had a few little issues with our order and it was a little disorganized at the OR, but all in all a really nice, fun, memorable place

I've eaten here twice and I'm going back this week. They've got an inspired cocktail menu, terrific entrées and (on some nights) a quality band or two. Scanning the reviews, I see that everyone who's been here since the new chef & team arrived (mid-2024) have given the Ostrich Room 5-stars. Well deserved.

My local go to. Amazing food, laid back and cozy atmosphere. Live music and friendly staff make the experience even more enjoyable.
For food I usually order the Arayes, which is lamb in pita, and it’s always excellent. The chef is incredibly talented, and puts a lot of effort into his food. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
The rotating groups of musicians are from the area and all very talented. They don’t play every night, but the nights they do play are bustling, and even on calmer nights it’s still an excellent venue to relax with a cocktail by a fire.
All in all it’s a great place to meet locals and travelers alike (since it’s also an Inn); so whether you’re meeting old friends or making some new ones it’s a really fun place I highly recommend.
