    Outstanding service; within 20 seconds of entering the very busy restaurant, someone offered to take our coats, and the experience that followed was fantastic. Only complaint was the noise level and proximity that parties were sat (very close), but totally understand that being an issue on Valentine’s Day.

    Overall, the bill was excellent. The ambience was incredible. The service was well developed and executed outstandingly. The only problem was it was Valentine’s Day and they did not have enough staff. We ended up waiting a half an hour for food and it was so unacceptable. I was gonna get dessert, but then I was just like it’s time to go and they asked me if I wanted to go, but I was just ready to be gone from that place but overall I had a wonderful time. I just wish the wait staff had more staff on being that it was Valentine’s Day.

    I love Prime Rib special night. The popovers are a particular favorite. However, the night I went they were overbaked and lacked their usual flavor. Also, they never seem to get my meat temperature right; I ask for medium and I usually end up with medium rare.

    Love the old-fashioned vibe of the Inn and dining areas. Service was very attentive. Food was simple. Flavors were good and ordinary, not amazing and unique. Ambiance made it very enjoyable.
