   Food was delicious and exquisitely presented. Not your everyday food! This is the third time we have dined here and continuously amazed at the food.

   This is not the first time we have been to the Ashby Inn. We have returned there several times over the years and we have always enjoyed excellent service and cuisine. The rooms have always been well appointed and comfortable. This visit was no exception. The location is also a big plus if you are interested in visiting Virginia wineries. Several excellent wineries are close by, such as Linden and Glen Manor Vineyards. If you bring up The Ashby Inn on Google Maps and search for nearby wineries, you will find quite a few. The north section of Shenandoah National Park is also close by. The north entrance at Front Royal is only 30 minutes from the inn.

   We stayed at the Inn to celebrate our anniversary. Room was lovely. The restaurant is in a beautiful historic rustic building with tons of charm. Waitstaff was attentive however never was asked if we wanted to see the sommelier nor were we approached. Given their extensive wine menu that was surprising. Appetizers and dessert were excellent. My Dover Sole was too salty which completely masked the fish. My husband’s scallops were good but slightly overcooked so rubbery. We were prepared for an expensive meal having seen the menu but felt it was overpriced for the experience.

   This is a tremendous place. Great food and wine, expertly supported by excellent staff. A bonus was our apres lunch time in the sun taking in the beautiful view and the warm November sunshine. A perfect afternoon!

    I know that others probably have a different opinion of the restaurant. We returned after more than 15 years as we were going to be in the area and wanted to revisit a special place from our past. We were seated in a very dark part of the restaurant which was fine but would have been nicer to be seated facing the garden. Wine was delicious and first and second courses were as well. Dessert was really marginal at best - we were told that we had to order with our appetize and entree because it would take 20 minutes to prepare. I ordered a pumpkin roulade which came out cold and hard. Not sure where all the prep time went. And my husband had a chocolate dome with a gelatin outer shell that was completely unnecessary. Also the prices were just over the top and the overall experience was not to that comparable level. It's too bad but we likely won't go back. To us it just seems like prices are unnecessarily inflated because of the area but in reality they aren't delivering on actual value.
