The food was amazing. I'd highly recommend the vegetable platter entree. Portion was over the top. The service was excellent. The fire in the fireplace was a perfect touch, however, they made the room TOO hot.

A great dining experience. Good food, great service and atmosphere (colonial rooms with roaring fires). While the food was good, we are regulars and would say that the food has been better in recent years. The service was fantastic. Overall, we love the White Horse Tavern as an overall great dining experience
