The food was very good, we had the steak, Cesar salad and they had sweet potato soup as the soup of the day. For dessert we shared a crème brûlée . Very tasty.

This Inn is truly a gem and the restaurant adds substantively to the experience. Just as the landscaping at the inn is exceptional, the food, service and friendly staff are second to none. Dinner for four people, all different selections, each one perfectly rendered … wonderful evening!

Third time dining here for dinner during a NOTL visit, and was as great as we remembered. Asked for a table by the window so we could view the incredible garden and were so happy they could honor our request. Service from the outset was outstanding - after being seated and telling us our server's name (Alexa) the host came back to check on us and let us know the server would be with us shortly and apologized for the delay (which was not even noticeable!) Alexa was so nice and addressed our every need. Our dinner selections (the Lobster Spaghetti and the Salmon) looked and tasted wonderful. Relaxing, lovely ambiance both inside and out.
