One of my favorite restaurants. Food is always superb. Seemed to be a bit understaffed on a busy evening.

I had a wonderful Christmas lunch with friends. This is a 15 year tradition for us and this year was spectacular! The boeuf bourguignon was tender and full of flavor. And the setting never disappoints!

We always enjoy the Roger Sherman in. The last time we were there, we wrote a review saying the service was not up to par. However, this time everything was as expected. The food was great. The service was great love the ambience. Can’t wait to go back.

The food at RSI is always wonderful. What disappointed a bit last night was the service. First, the waiter did not understand a drink order, even though it was a signature cocktail from their menu. Next, he did not share any specials for the evening, yet did to other tables. Finally, a dessert item was not as listed- different topping which changed it. It will not keep us from returning, but hopefully this helps the management to know where training might improve their experience.

We love going to the Roger Sherman Inn. It’s very pretty, quiet and upscale. However, the last couple times we’ve been there the service has not been terrific. Not sure if they’re understaffed or if the particular waiter we had last night was new, but extremely slow. The owner was dining in the restaurant at the table next to us with her family. When they were finished with dinner, she was actually clearing plates and taking drink orders. I still love this restaurant.
