    We have been going here with friends and family forever and always had great times and food. Last night we had our Turkey dinners here with all the trimming and food, was ok if you like the turkey cold, baked potato cold (sent it back once and the replacement came back cold), very little turkey compared to the past hot turkey sandwiches ordered there. Our reservations were for 9:30 and we were seated at the worst table in the place, our waitress was waiting to get out of the place because it was late and evidently the kitchen was too! If the management did not want to offer up a decent fare they should have seated us so late. Of course, the Inn was beautifully decorated with all the Christmas decorations and a treat for the eyes. Not going there again with this past bad taste in my mouth!

    Prompt seating with our reservation, immediate attention for drink orders and our server was there to answer questions and take dinner orders without any real delay. Our meals were prepared as requested and met everyone's expectations. I always recommend this for an excellent dining experience.

    This was our “date night” and we were recommended to come here. Our first time and it was fabulous. Service is everything and the level of service was outstanding. We felt like our own family was looking after all our needs. On top of the service was great food, atmosphere, and value for the overall experience. Scheduling for our next time.
