We have eaten at the Rowe Inn several times. We have never been disappointed. The small country setting is one of the main attractions . This is not a place that flips tables to get you in and out. It tends to have a real European attitude that the table is yours for the night. The food is always wonderful. It is definitely on line with a high quality restaurant .The chef is always trying new receipts that are cooked to perfection. The service has always been great. The wine is wonderful and paired well with the food.The prices are more of that of a high quality restaurant and that is what you get here with a nice French country at restaurant.

Lovely intimate dining. Awesome wine selection that is taken very seriously. The only comment that takes away from a full 5 is that the chicken was dry. Duck was delicious. Perch also nice. They were accommodating for GF also.
