“Excellent food and service!!! We were sent by hotel front desk and they were right! Great soups and swordfish and chicken dishes. Inside is very clean and updated. Give it a try! Prices are very reasonable and service is exceptional ?“

“Best bangers and mash I’ve ever had, great beer selection, and the workers were friendly and great conversationalists! Strongly recommend! ☘️“

“From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. We were seated within a minute and greeted immediately by a friendly, attentive server who offered to walk us through the specials and made sure we had everything we needed.

Service was impressively well paced—our appetizers arrived within minutes, and our main courses followed shortly after we finished them. It was clear the staff was attentive and communicating well with the kitchen.

The food was outstanding. My steelhead trout over couscous was cooked perfectly, and my wife’s New York strip steak was equally excellent. The homemade biscuits are a must—slightly sweet and completely unique.

We finished with a fun dessert: a root beer float for me and a great after-dinner drink for my wife. The relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy our meal, and the live piano and bass playing jazz added a wonderful touch.

The bill was very reasonable, and we left completely satisfied.

Highly recommend—looking forward to coming back soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely excellent dinner location for Thanksgiving. Authentic Revolutionary War Era Inn setting with phenomenal dinner menu for Thanksgiving. 4 of us came here for Thanksgiving- my wife, me and her parents, we all got something different and this place did not disappoint on anything. The chateubriand filet mignon and New Zealand rack of lamb were on point in every way. The side vegetables- the sweet potatoes, the stuffing, the arugula, the green beans, and the carrots were all perfectly cooked to an optimome composition and coloring. The popovers were a nice throwback a little dry but the strawberry butter more than made up for them. The dessert the Belgian chocolate mousse was impeccable. The overall ambiance and atmosphere of this place was very Yankee in a great way, it reminded me of Olde New England Inns and Taverns. Pricing wise it was not the most economical menu but doing Thanksgiving at home with guests wouldn’t have been cheaper. I definitely recommend anyone slightly interested in a place like this come here as they will fully enjoy. We did not reside here but if their hotel accommodations are on par with their dining accommodations, you will get what you pay for and then some.“

The person who took our orders was so sweet and so knowledgeable and we loved everything we ordered. They have vegan, vegetarian and GF options so it’s really inclusive. The teas are delicious - we had the Jammy Dodger and it was just perfection. Such a special experience! I can’t wait to go back!“

“If you missed the Lamb Chops while they were on the menu, you missed a good thing. They were AH-MAZING! Whoever the cook is, he/she did their thing. The mashed potatoes were on point. Although the asparagus was a bit bigger than I've ever seen but bit was so tender. Our waitress was super nice and the ambiance was perfect. They owe me nothing! More Lamb Chops of course, I'm patiently waiting for their return 😋“

“I have been going here for years. I wanted to make sure I told everyone this is possibly one of the best places to get a meal and feel like you belong. The food is a classic American Diner but the food, Atmosphere and staff make you feel like your home. Some diners almost rush you out. Here they let you enjoy your food. Take a moment and get a burger or an omelette. You will not be sorry.“
