Wonderful restaurant! We have been going there for years and the service and food have never changed - always great.

Our reservation was at 5:15. We didn't leave until after 7:30. We arrived on time and everything was fine until we finished our salads. Our entrees took over an hour to get to us. During that time, our server apologized twice, but no manager came. Tables around us - some seated after us - had their appetizers, entrees and dessert while we were waiting. When our food finally came, no one apologized for the wait. No one offered us a discount, free dessert or even free soda refills to apologize for the wait. When it was time for the bill, a woman (not our server) dropped it on the table rudely, as if it was our fault we'd been at the table for so long. I've never had an experience like this; I can't believe the manager never came to at least apologize to us. So, while the food was delicious (at least the entrees and appetizers were, we didn't have the time to try dessert) and we liked the space, I can't recommend this restaurant. '

We traveled to Kingston for the first time and had a very good lunch at the Hoffman House. We felt the prices were very reasonable and the quality of the food was good. The building itself is historic.

The other half and I stopped in after running an errand in Kingston. The food was pretty good for lunch fair, service was a little on the slow side. The drinks were standard. But the ambiance was fantastic. The decor and feel of a 1600's inn was pretty cool. I would definitely go back and try another meal there.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and patio experience for lunch yesterday. Unfortunately, it took more than a half hour for our food to be served after ordering. Other diners were receiving orders 10-15 minutes after ordering. Not sure what happened with our order of two wraps. Server never explained or apologized.
Recommended by a kind soul we met while walking in town. We had the steak and pasta. Came with salads and I thought the salad was very fresh. The steak was a little overdone but tender enough for medium rare. The onion and mushroom sauce was delicious. Pasta has a little spice and it was great. Recommended.

Being new the area, I am pleased to say this restaurant will be one I go back to, especially when my out of town friends and family come visit! Excellent food, personable staff, great environment! Kudos!

Just not what it used to be. Today was the last time I’ll ever eat here. This is the third strike. I’ve been enjoying this restaurant my whole life and lunch has always been a solid go to. But this is it. Service is so ridiculously slow for no reason. Today they were still setting up the restaurant when we arrived well after opening. The servers and manager were assembling the lunch menus when we arrived. We were given a seat and menus were thrown down on the table in front of us. No drink order taken, no water, no other greeting for at least five minutes. Manager/owner was looking at phone at the bar while we waited for a greeting of some kind or a glass of water. The staff was passing back and forth, actively ignoring us. Finally our waiter arrived and the order was taken. There were about two or three other tables in the restaurant and the piece of quiche and sandwich we ordered took a long time to come . Drinks came out just as slow as the food and the server put cans on the table for customer to open themselves. The whole experience was just meh. And this being the third time I was actively ignored while the restaurant was not busy at all. You lost a longtime customer.

Food is consistently good. Love the history all around. Service was a little rushed but still polite and professional
