Tried this place for Valentine’s Day. Had a 7:30 reservation but seated after 8. Waitress didn’t come to table except to take order, deliver the food and then came over after we had been waiting forever to get butter for our then cold baked potatoes. Never did get our salad. After she came over the final time we just asked for check. Pointed out that we never got butter or salads. Another lady came over and offered to take $10 off of our $98 bill. The issues were then pointed out to the ladies at the front, their reasoning was that it was a busy night of serving 500 people. And she also said that maybe we shouldn’t have tried it out for the first time on Valentine’s Day. Was absolutely the worst experience ever, the appetizer wasn’t good, my steak was well done when it was supposed to be medium, no toppings for the then cold baked potatoes and never received the salads. Musty, stale smell inside the building as well. Definitely won’t be back.
Love dining at the Squire and the wait staff is wonderful!
This is a hidden gem!!! So quaint and beautiful and old-school you feel like you’re somewhere in another country!! We have loved our stay here so much! The views are beautiful. The people are friendly. The rooms are well appointed and it’s just absolutely amazing.
Terrible service. Rude people.
as we absolutely love it, the food, the people the atmosphere everything just goes together it’s just awesome. It certainly one of those things that if you’re never done or you’ve never been there, you have to go cause you have experience for yourself.
Went on Saturday afternoon for a wine tasting. The building is very unique. The bartender that did the tasting was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. That's the reason for the 4 star review. They have a large variety of different styles of wine. The wines we tried were good but we had better at other wineries in the area.
We love The Country Squire! We’ve attended weddings there, have been to events held there and we love the food. If you’ve never been, it’s the best atmosphere with friendly staff!
I wanted to like this place. The place was poorly maintained somewhat dirty. The food was institutional and home cooked tasting. The servers were nice, but inefficient. The management needs training on how to run a restaurant. Just don’t go.
In years past we have eaten at The Country Squire and had a delicious meal and had good waitresses...today was a totally different experience. There were no napkins and had to ask twice for napkins. The waitress was pleasant BUT was mostly absent. The food was served on a COLD cast ironskillet so I'm not sure what it's function was. The rolls were cold and the food was luke warm. We were so disappointed ! We had to "find" the waitress to get our ticket and our glasses were never refilled.
Me & the wife went here for our 11th year wedding anniversary. Nice quiet candlelit searing area. Why is the entire dining room black? My wife had the Korean beef, while I had the prime rib.. My prime rib had allot of fat but was still tasty.

I hated that we had the experience that we had here. The place is very neat and has an authentic Scottish feel in the inside. The wine tasting was fun as well… however when it came time to eat it was a mess. Three different servers came up to us because no one seemed to know who’s table it was. When the server (never introduced her name) finally took over, we placed our order 30 minutes after being seated. Another 30 minutes passed and she came back and said she had just forgot to put in the appetizer only. It eventually came out for our friends who ordered it but we were still waiting for our food. Another table next to us had came after us, ordered, ate, and left with the same server. It was another 30 minutes before she came back and said SHE FORGOT TO PUT OUR ORDER IN and they were just now starting to make it. A whole hour and a half of us sitting there, you’d think you’d wonder why your table didn’t have their food well before that. And how do you put our appetizer in on the same page that had our orders but not put the order in?! No drink refills in the process either. At that point, we were seated at 6:30 and it was well past 8 I had shared that I was frustrated with our experience and lack of communication and honesty and She had the audacity to roll her eyes and catch an attitude about it!!! I might of stayed and ate (finally) had it not been for her attitude over her mistake. Long story short we drove an hour away to double date for Valentine’s Day and ended up leaving hungry.. sad experienceI will add when we talked to the owner about it I could tell she was heartbroken with our experience. She took our address’s down and thanked us. Honestly with her care I’d give it another try with a different server
I wouldn’t know if the winery / motel was good or bad. I made reservations 4 months in advance, but because their reservation system is paper-based, my reservation got “lost in the shuffle” (literally). I’m just glad I had the sense to call prior to confirm my (non) reservation.
This past Sunday, my lady and I had lunch at the Squire. I had not been there but my lady had many years ago. We had the Sunday lunch special and it was terrific. Our server, Audra was very gracious. When I mentioned it was my lady's & my 5th date, she lit our table candle and thanked us for coming. The atmosphere was special with an old world romantic setting. We will definitely return for more dates.
We went to the wine tasting and enjoyed the flavor of many of the wines. We ate dinner and the food was really good. I bought four bottles of wine and my daughter bought six bottles. Every bottle of wine we purchased tasted watered down and nothing like the wines we enjoyed during the tasting. We were very disappointed. We live out of state and too far to go back to complain.
My family and I went here recently for a wine tasting and we had a great experience. We were greeted with such great customer service. We also learned a lot about their wines during the tasting. Will definitely return again soon to try out their dinner next time.
