Restaurants near The Mushroom Cap

The Mendenhall Inn did a great job of making a Valentine's Day dinner very enjoyable. We were seated at the time of our reservation, our waitress was very attentive. Our wine and bread and butter arrived quickly, followed by our first course ( French Onion soup of broth of us) within 10 minutes. Even though the restaurant had a slightly limited holiday menu, there were plenty of good choices. We had roasted duckling and the crab stuffed shrimp. both were served with mashed potatoes and French green beans. Everything was delicious and served at a very good pace. We were surprised at how efficient the service was consider the at full capacity dining room on a holiday evening. We skipped dessert because we were so full from the generous portions ( the outstanding French Onion soup with tons of cheese is very filling). It was a delightful evening in a welcoming, comfortable high end restaurant. top notch, its is worth the drive to get to Mendenhall ! A great place for special occasion or date night dining.

Outstanding meal on Valentine's day. The tables for two are very small which made the meal a bit challenging at times but the food was great. Everything arrived hot and fresh and, considering it was a holiday and they were crowded, the time between ordering and receiving an appetizer and between that and the meal was not unusual. We did not feel we were waiting too long nor that we were rushed. Hard to hear our server and his accent was strong, which made communication a bit difficult, but we managed and he was excellent. The restaurant has panels on the ceiling in, I guess, an effort to reduce noise. However, they are hard panels. If they draped them in some fabric, it might help more. Overall a very enjoyable meal, big portions - enough to bring home for a second meal, reasonable pricing (BYOB is nice although they do have their own wine and cocktail menu. We brought our own wine which helped the overall cost, too). We will definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic. We came for Valentine’s Day dinner and the menu was amazing! Got the lobster tail for appetizer, lobster ravioli, and the veal parmigiana! Once we got our bill we were told “someone took care of it” so thankful and surprised. Staff were great, good was great we will absolutely be back!

Service was impeccable. Presentation of short ribs on plate was exceptionally unique. Taste was great as usual. Pace of dinner was very good.

Absolutely the best pizza in Kennett!! Great drinks and the nicest owners!
