Restaurants near The National Hotel

We went here for Valentine’s Day. We had great service by a very attentive wait staff. The food was amazing, from the escargot appetizer to the red wine cake. The raspberry beet purée that was part of the scallop dish was outstanding! The scallops were perfectly cooked and the forbidden rice was delicious. Please visit this restaurant. It’s absolutely superb!

Even though it was Valentine’s Day the service and food were excellent! Some restaurants are so busy it doesn’t turn out that way. I had a very creative halibut dish with olives and sweet raisins etc over a cauliflower potato mash. Yummy! My husband had bacon wrapped filet and they were very kind about substituting one of the sides. I love that the Black Bass Hotel restaurant has French press coffee at lunch and dinner!

We tried several dishes. All were colorfully and festively presented with no sacrifice on taste. Unique and enjoyable food and atmosphere, an experience to remember

This was a Valentine’s Day date. They sat us near the fireplace which was warm and cozy. Ask to sit elsewhere if you do not want to smell like campfire for the rest of the night lol. We did not mind it one bit and found it romantic. The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for on Valentine’s Day. We got the Fig Toasts and shared a bowl of lobster stew (1/4 of lobster!). We Highly recommend both. I got the Boursin Filet. I would probably choose medium over medium rare next time but, it was still delicious with the Demi-Glacé and Boursin. She got the ‘Will you Marry Me’ Chicken which was topped with lumped crab meat. We were very happy with the food and service! We would return in the future for dinner or to try out their brunch menu.

Lunch at the canal house station was more than just lunch, it was an experience! The ambience at the train station was exceptional, I felt as if I was somewhere in Europe. Our server was not only knowledgeable about everything that was served, her timing with all of the courses was perfect!  As a seasoned home cook myself, each course exceeded my expectations in authenticity and flavor! Even the coffee served with dessert reminded me of my grandmother's fresh perked coffee. The icing on the cake was meeting Melissa and Christopher , a dynamic duo!! I can't wait to return!!
