    The salad greens were not very fresh. The Brussels sprouts were mushy. The rolled/layered French toast thing is NOT good.

    We had a great dinner at Mendenhall Inn. There was 7 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks, from Lamb Chops to Salmon and lots of other choices. The Snapper Soup is a favorite.

    Last June we celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary at Mendenhall and it was truly a memorable experience. It was unexpectedly topped off with acknowledging our special occasion with a delicious piece of chocolate cake. My wife and I just celebrated her birthday with our son on Jan 17 at Mendenhall. Appetizers were fantastic and our son's duck entree and wife's salmon entree were as well. However, my special veal entree was not tender (quite tough in the center). Service was very good, but her birthday was not acknowledged per our reservation special occasion instruction. We enjoy dining out and Mendenhall will continue to be one of our favorite places.

    It was a wonderful experience. Shah, the waiter, was excellent and very helpful. The tableside Irish coffee was the hit of the evening.

    Ceasar salad and vegetable were perfect. Shrimp stuffed w crabmeat— Crabmeat imperial was top notch delicious, the size of shrimp on bottom was negligible, extremely small. Server excellent, atmosphere conducive to conversation.

    Mendenhall is one of our favorite restaurants but we hadn't been to their Sunday Brunch in years. We will definitely be returning soon. It is one of the best brunch buffets I have been to. Great variety- a raw bar with shrimp, oysters, smoked salmon and more, a salad bar, an omelet station, soup, side dishes for the omelet, pasteries, a prime rib station and a huge dessert table that featured bananas foster. You also get mimosas and coffee, tea, or soda. But the true bonus you get at Mendenhall is the service and the welcoming atmosphere. They make you feel special from the time you enter to the time you leave. Andy is a remarkable server (I always ask for him) and our used dishes were cleared as soon as we left to go to the buffet for a refill. Very attentive and so very pleasant. Had a wonderful experience..
