Burger night - had burgers- tasty with fresh lettuce, tomato and onion. Excellent service. We enjoyed the new craftsman lounge, along with the tasteful Christmas decorations. A nice evening out.

Disappointing Experience at the Roycroft Inn We were excited to enjoy a festive holiday girls’ dinner at the Roycroft Inn, expecting beautiful decor, great food, and a special evening. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. The entire meal took nearly two hours, primarily due to painfully slow service. Both our drinks and food took an unreasonably long time to arrive, and our waiter was rarely at our table except to offer repeated excuses for the delays. To make matters worse, my friend’s leftovers sat unboxed on a counter for over 20 minutes until we had to bring it to our waiter’s attention ourselves. By that point, we declined to have it wrapped up. While the setting is lovely, the lack of attentive service left us feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. For a restaurant of this reputation, we expected much better.

Well....funny when I received this request for a review, it labeled the event "Friday Music in the Craftsman". I don't recall any mention of that when it was booked. Needless to say, the birthday dinner and conversation was drowned out by the five piece musical group (string instruments). The musicians were talented but the (1) the room is small; (2) the room was very crowded (tables very close together - barely room for the servers to move around) and the noise level high; (3) the musical group used amplifiers on all the instruments....the combination made it virtually impossible to hear any conversation. We assume that we were not the only table to ask if the musicians could turn down the volume....after their initial break, the musical group told the customers...if you don't like the volume please leave....well...we did. And not likely to return to The Roycroft Inn.

Beautiful quaint setting. Pleasant and attentive servers. Tenderloin cooked to perfection. Nice el dent veggies. The server was nice enough to cover up a vent blowing cold air from a duct next to our table. Wish there were more holiday decorations, didn't feel as festive as it could borsch a beautiful setting.

Another delicious Thanksgiving buffet at The Roycroft.. They even had a gluten free (all homemade) dessert table. The in -house smoked salmon with all the extras to make yourself a wonderful salad is a favorite. Years ago, we established going to The Roycroft for Thanksgiving as a tradition. It's a splurge, for sure, but we've never been disappointed.
