    We go to the Sunday's Brunch at the Mendenhall Restauraant once a month and will keep going. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. The service is excellent . We have known the waiter that took care of us for awhile, a very friendly iranian fellow,and he is always superb.

    The Mendenhall Inn did a great job of making a Valentine's Day dinner very enjoyable. We were seated at the time of our reservation, our waitress was very attentive. Our wine and bread and butter arrived quickly, followed by our first course ( French Onion soup of broth of us) within 10 minutes. Even though the restaurant had a slightly limited holiday menu, there were plenty of good choices. We had roasted duckling and the crab stuffed shrimp. both were served with mashed potatoes and French green beans. Everything was delicious and served at a very good pace. We were surprised at how efficient the service was consider the at full capacity dining room on a holiday evening. We skipped dessert because we were so full from the generous portions ( the outstanding French Onion soup with tons of cheese is very filling). It was a delightful evening in a welcoming, comfortable high end restaurant. top notch, its is worth the drive to get to Mendenhall ! A great place for special occasion or date night dining.

    We went to the Mendenhall Inn for Valentine's Day dinner & room! The service was outstanding! We were seated right in front of the fireplace in the main dining area. We had calamari, shrimp Lejon & east coast oysters for appetizers. We had salmon & braised short ribs for main entrees. Cheesecake for dessert. Everything was awesome! The whole staff makes a big difference, they work very well together to make your dinner enjoyable!

    Our dinner at Mendenhall was lovely. We had a round table for 8 and everyone enjoyed their meal. The greatest pleasure is that we were able to converse with each other without raising our voices to be heard. The one disappointment is that I had written it wasn't an anniversary dinner and even called to remind the restaurant is was an anniversary dinner for one of the couples and it was never mentioned nor asked about.

    As usual, the food, drinks, and service were exceptional. My wife had the clams casino, followed by the 6 oz filet, with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. The steak was prepared exactly how she ordered it. I had the lobster bisque soup, followed by the stuffed shrimp, with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus.

    Beautiful place for a special evening. We went for our anniversary. They sat us right in front of the fireplace, which was very romantic. Food & service was outstanding.
