This is our first time having dinner at the Sun Inn. It is such a nice restaurant, with a lot of history. We loved the little room upstairs where we ate. It is very clean, cozy and inviting. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive without being overbearing. The manager/owner, Bill, stopped over twice to check on us, which was very appreciated. My husband drank beer, I had a Bloody Mary, which was very bland (I think only tomato juice), and didn't come with a celery stick! It had 2 olives and a lemon half slice as garnish. It could definitely be improved with a nice Bloody Mary mix that includes a bit of heat and of course celery! We started with the herb stuffed mushrooms, which were fabulous! They were very flavorful, with lots of fresh herbs, and the cream cheese made them very creamy. I had a Saba Salad with berries and goat cheese. I like more goat cheese than what was on it, but the berries were fresh and plentiful as were the almonds, and the dressing was excellent. It is Harissa and Apricot vinaigrette which was a bit tangy and a bit sweet. My husband had a new sandwich call The Hei Hei (pronounced hay-hay), which was a house made chicken patty with Pepper Jack cheese, tomato, and Peso Aioli on a delicious roll. He loved it. We would recommend this restaurant for its excellent food, varied menu and super helpful staff. The next time we come we will try to get a courtyard table.

The hostess almost seemed annoyed that we came in and she had to seat us. We used to love the food at the tavern. Unfortunately it was just ok this time- not sure what happened to the excellent chef they used to have. Do not order the homemade potato chips- they were overdone and hard to chew.

Staff was excellent! Ashley was an awesome waitress. She was funny, witty and always there when we needed her. Highly recommended!

Food was excellent. the Beef Wellington dinner special was delicious and my partner really enjoyed the Red Snapper. The atmoshphere was very unique and it was a special experience to dine inside such a historical building. The service was excellent as well.

This restaurant was a pleasure to dine at. The greeter at the door was very helpful and encouraged us to browse through the museum area while we waited for another member of our party to arrive. The history of the building is incredible. Take the time to walk through! The servers were very busy as there was a large group in the next room over. We weren't in a hurry so we didn't mind too much; they comped our drinks even though we didn't complain at all, which is unheard of these days so we were happy & impressed with that consideration. The menu was unique and complementary to the theme of the Tavern, but we felt a bit pricey. The meals were delicious though. We would go back again, and we recommend it to others, especially history buffs as there's a lot to see in the Inn in terms of that.

As always a fantastic visit! This was our 4th year going on valentines š day and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be going again next year. Thank you to the staff and ownership for making it a great, fun, and easy stop.

This is my and my partnerās first time dining here and let me say Iām very impressed with the service and quality of food! They timed all the courses for our Valentineās Day dinner perfectly and I didnāt feel overwhelmed with food. Highly recommend for a quiet sit down dinner! And our server Marissa was amazing!

Really cool hidden little gem. Service was great, the atmosphere really felt like I was dining next to George Washington. Food was pretty good, my table really raved about the pot pie, I had the Hannibal Burger which was decent, and everyone loved the dessert.

Wonderful experience. Came for the New Yearās Eve prix fixe dinner with friends. We all ordered different food and everyone was very happy with their meal. I enjoyed the Cornwallis Curry. As the vegetarian in the group, it was so refreshing to find a meat free option that is not a veggie burger. Staff could not have been nicer. Friendly, efficient and fun.

Absolutely awesome New Years Eve dinner. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Shrimp cocktail sauce tangy, rocket salad great, poached pear for dessert fabulous. Servers attentive and responsive.
