What a disaster dinner we just had. We ordered 3 porterhouse stakes and were all chewy and tasting horrible. We mentioned to both the waiter and the manager that the steaks were horrible and they did not do anything to accommodate. Will never go back again and would not suggest this place to anyone. read more

This place is awesome!!! I just ate here with my husband as a surprise dinner ~ what a great treat! We had the pri-fix menu on Thursday evening. The service was absolutely DELIGHTFUL! The food was amazing with gourmet presentation! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone without children b/c it is a romantic spot! Thank you so much Comus Inn!!! read more

I selected The Comus Inn for my 75th birthday party and was fully pleased with the results. We were in a private room which was nicely set up for the dinner. The host, Jesse, greeted us, walked us to our room, asked if the room was to my liking (it was charming) and then offered a brief history of the building. The Manager, Lou, came in to make sure we were pleased. Our waitress was polite and efficient. And the food was glorious! Most of us ordered different entrees and everyone remarked on how delicious and how well the food was prepared and presented. Most of us ordered the same appetizer which we raved about. We ordered the "Dalla Valle" wine which was excellent. Throughout the dinner Lou would come in to check on us and to make sure everything was going well. I could not be more pleased. What a lovely memory to hold on to! read more

Not a good place to go for welcoming warm feelings. Went there on Saturday to check out the place for lunch and wanted to check out the menu. The manager couldn't of been any more rude. The location is beautiful but there are many other restaurant nearby that would like my business read more

Comus Inn loses one star right from the start because we arrived on a Sunday evening to find that the view from the dining room was completely blocked by a white tent that was up for a wedding that weekend. Not cool, given that the view is the main reason to eat here. The food was good, but not amazing, and way overpriced with entrees mostly in the $30-$40 range. Service was good, but the kitchen was very slow even though the restaurant was nearly empty. One other odd thing - after the third or fourth time the server refilled my water glass, my water smelled just like... you know that smell when it's raining really hard and all the earthworms come out of the ground and die on the sidewalk? Yeah, that smell. Not pleasant, but at least I was done eating at that point. read more

There is something fundamentally sad about a bad restaurant. Perhaps it provokes a realization of the failures we have all had in our lives. I was raised in Maryland and have wonderful memories of the real Comus Inn as a warm and friendly place, rustic with country cooking that was inviting, and that is exactly what made it so special. The food here is mediocre and expensive. The familiar has been replaced with a fussy face lift and a hotel interior you could find anywhere. The menu makes expensive promises but those are empty, and so is the feeling, which is that superficial individuals were determined to exploit that which should not be exploited. One can hope that someday the old Inn will be returned to a sense of belonging that's been lost. A pity. Won't be back. read more

I made a last minute request involving my parents' anniversary dinner at the Comus Inn. Jesse took the call and got everything right about the request. My parents were very pleased and surprised. Jesse and the server provided exceptional service which was graciously appreciated. From different visits, the crab hush puppies are very good and the view is awesome. read more

The food is exquisite, the location is excruciatingly beautiful, the staff warm and friendly. Jesse, the maitre'd, will charm the pants off you. They offer an extraordinary brunch on Sundays - you must book well in advance for holidays, like Easter or Mother's Day. Enjoy! It's worth the trip! read more

Bottom Line: Overall good experience though not amazing food for being so far away from any form of civilization. Food seems more Chesapeake Bay than their actual surroundings. Check out their calendar as they do have good entertainment events. The service was good but from the get go they were out of the first two beers we ordered. Annoying. The view from the main room of Sugarloaf Mountain was a big plus as we waited to see what beer they did have in stock. I have a severe seafood allergy and was quite disappointed at the few dinner options I could actually eat. Plus their specials of the night were nearly all seafood in some form so that was nice (sarcasm). I could understand that in Baltimore or Annapolis but out in the boonies by a big mountain!? Mix it up a bit! I highly doubt people are going over the river and through the woods to come HERE for seafood when they likely live much closer to all of the great seafood Maryland has to offer. I don't say this to be mean spirited but my ancestors are several namesakes of the surrounding towns and I know they surely weren't cooking up oysters and crab. If they stuck with the cuisine of their historical surroundings they'd likely get four or five stars. The culinary talent and creativity is there but it just needs some tweaking. They were accommodating to my allergies and I enjoyed the medallions I decided on. Ridiculously expensive at $35 for a restaurant that isn't a steakhouse. For that price I could have gone to one of the well known steakhouses in DC and saved $35 on gas for the roundtrip drive alone! The major thing that weirded me out about this place was when I was using the women's bathroom a male staff member tried to come inside. When I said I was in there he creepily waited outside of the bathroom. Sure it'd be ok during off hours or during the day if he's the only person there to clean but this was prime time Saturday night when many female staff members were working. It irked me out and wasn't the best way to end my night at the Comus Inn. read more

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Comus Inn and decided to go back for our 1st anniversary. The staff treated us like it was our wedding day all over again and we could not have been happier. They were very attentive to us, and even made an appetizer from our wedding for us which wasn't a regular menu item. We can't wait to go back again! read more

Nice location, easy to get to, however our view was blocked by a tent - hey, people get married, I can live with the tent. The food was ok, nothing outstanding, nothing special, and for the prices it should be special. Service was good, mango mojito was very good! I can cross it off my list of places to try, but I seriously doubt I'll ever go back. read more

Wow. The food and service was amazing. We arrived by surprise and they seated us immediately. The restaurant is high class, elegant and super pricey. It was worth every bite of it down to the dessert. I will be coming back again. read more

You just can't have better service! The entire staff was amazing. Our brunch was delicious and the view of Sugarloaf mountain was perfect! There's no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than a drive in the country, followed by brunch at The Comus Inn. read more

I was so excited that the Comus Inn was reopening and though the rehab and atmosphere is really nice, the service is poor or non existent and the food not much better for the price. The menu is relatively small and doesn't change much. Went for dinner one rainy night at 6:30 and they were already out of several menu items including one of only 3 entrees. I have emailed to ask why being in the ag reserve where veggies are readily available and desired, there are so few healthy items. I was told they were serving "comfort food" because of Covid but I'm getting a bit tired of that excuse. I'd be happy to give the chef a nice Kale salad or butternut soup recipe! I understand that during the height of Covid, serving procedures were a bit different but I think we should be past having to pick up your food at the bar and eat out of carry out containers when you are paying premium prices. It's a shame because I live close but I find it hard to find anything on the menu that isn't very heavy and fatty. I wish they would listen to their community because I am not the only one who shares these opinions. read more

This was my first time dining here and I was disappointed. The service was terrible and although the food was basically good, it was no where near impressive. I think Jesse the Maitre'd was sincere, but not empowered to address our concerns about inattentive service and cold food. As my dining partner and I were sharing our concerns with the maitre'd, the general manager appeared and we also shared our thoughts with him, but all he could say was that they were short staffed and offered his apologies...no adjustment to the bill, no offer of comp drinks/dessert...nothing! Considering our experience and the time and distance from Baltimore, I won't be going back to The Comus Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain. read more

We stopped by for a light lunch on our way to the winery at Sugarloaf. Although we were told initially that we needed reservations we were seated after only a short wait. The view was beautiful and the decor was 'historic' as one would expect (meaning that we were in a small room fairly close to other diners). The food was okay - the butternut squash soup was excellent but the sourdough bread cheese sandwich was a little heavy. The wait staff was polite. read more

I enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Comus Inn with the ladies of my brunch brigade this past weekend. The drive up was scenic with tons of beautiful mountain views and fall foliage in full bloom. We had reservations right when they opened and we were seated immediately by a friendly greeter. Our waiter took a few minutes to come take our drink orders, but we were still waiting for most of our party to show up, so it didn't bother us at all. We perused the menus while we waited and our party members slowly trickled in (thanks, I-270). Once our whole party was seated, our waiter came to take our drink orders and answer any questions we had. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation of the menu items. Our mimosas came out quickly and our appetizers also came out in a very timely fashion. We tried the banana bread (B-), deviled eggs with salmon (A), and pumpkin breakfast cookies/scones (B+). The banana bread was a little bland, my friends raved about the deviled eggs with salmon, and the pumpkin breakfast cookies were hard but tasty when dipped in tea or coffee. Between our appetizers and our meals, the kind gentleman who had shown us to our table came in to check on our food and give us a brief history of the establishment from the time it was built, through the civil war, and it's most recent owners who turned it into the restaurant and wedding venue that it is today. It was very informative, but still short enough to keep our attention. Our meals were delectable. The majority of our party ordered the Chesapeake Eggs Benedict. We have one member of our party who is gluten-free due to allergies and the waiter was more than happy to accommodate her special requests. I went with a simple spinach and ham omelet, with herb broiled sliced tomato and potato hash on the side. Everything on my plate was well-seasoned, hot, and delicious. We had a little bit of a mix-up with our checks because we wanted to split the check between some people with cash and some with credit cards, but in the end they voided the transactions and gave us all corrected checks. They patiently explained that we'd see both charges on Monday, but that the first charge would disappear by Tuesday morning and not to worry if we saw two charges from them. In addition to the excellent beverages and delicious food, Comus Inn also boasts beautiful views of Sugarloaf Mountain which probably helped make it one of the most popular wedding venues in Maryland. Since we were already there for brunch and they did not have a wedding that morning, we took the opportunity to snap quite a few photos of our lovely surroundings down by the barn, which they did not mind at all. All in all, it was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of most DC and VA brunch venues and we will definitely go again! read more

This is the second time I have written a review as the first was taken down. I had planned for a very special clients to treat them to great evening - knowing they got married there I figured this place would hold special memories ! I WAS WRONG! This place was a higher very expensive disappointing mistake. We paid in the $300 range for steaks that were flavorless and chewy with a mountain of mushrooms on top. The onion soup was from a can - terrible . We told the waitress who got the manager who stated that he had special grainy meat here and then disappeared. There was no resolution The place was empty It was the most bizarre night !! My clients couldn't believe it ! read more

This was quite disappointing. I had not been here for a long time. We had a coupon and decided to try it . The atmosphere is very nice. The staff is very nice and attentive. The place was empty for a Saturday which we wondered about. . I ordered a fish dish. It was extremely salty and smothered with so much tomato and sausage you could not find the fish. Pretty bad. That was bad enough but it was so salty that it had no taste and it was very very spicy. The menu doesn't tell you that either. So Sorry ..I would stay away from here. I do not think they will last long. read more

Very disappointing experience! Had a 6 pm reservation Sunday evening. Made it known to the restaurant that this was our 30 year wedding anniversary, and a special dinner for us. We arrived on time, and were seated at a table. 5 minutes went by, and no sever has come to our table. Then a server comes out of a door, and goes to the table next to us. Does not even make eye contact with us, or share any greetings or pleasantries. She does that 4 times. Comes to the table next to us, provides service, and each time, turns her back to us, and walks away. The sad part is that the Manager is standing in the doorway, looking at all of this, and does not do anything. We sat there for a full 15 minutes, and no one came with water, or even came by to say hello. This is an upscale restaurant, and being ignored like this was a very disappointing experience. The only reason i can think this happened is that everyone else was Caucasian, and we are not. I could feel that we were being ignored. So, we got up and started walking out. The Manager asked us, why we are leaving, and we explained our reason. He listened to us, but made no effort to keep us there. Just shrugged his shoulders. And as we walked out the door, i looked back, and the Manager and the hostess were laughing....Unbelievable read more

The service, atmosphere and food LLC combined for a wonderful evening. We will be back again. Jessie greeted us with a smile and friendly demeanor as we arrived and the friendliness continued throughout the evening. read more

Lol 2 stars for the food and the wait staff, but a 1 for overall experience. We had a 7pm reservation. When making the reservation I requested someplace quiet. When we arrived we were told it would be a few minutes as they were getting out table ready. Sounds nice, right? 7 minutes later they walk us through the first room, where there are 2 couples sitting in nice, quiet corners....still good, right? Now, past the bar into the only not quiet room in the place and to a table directly in the middle making it potentially the noisiest location in the restaurant. One request and they were 0 for 1. Waitress was nice (kind of like the blind date with the great personality...she should not be a waitress.) Second waiter was really good and super competent. Food was average, not great, just OK. Manager was a pretentious a$$. Didn't care that we thought it was terrible because he ram the restaurant at a famous hotel downtown. If you want to go to a place where your requests are ignored, service is poor, food is average, and you are guaranteed to be treated like something scraped off a shoe by the manager I strongly recommend it. read more

The Comus Inn is an Inn in name only. They don't have guestrooms and they never having, making you wonder why they call tehmselves an Inn. They are also a dining spot well known for their expensive but wonderful Sunday buffet brunch. This, like the guestrooms, does not exist. If you are like me and visit the Inn on a Sunday at brunch you will be surprised to find out they no longer server the buffet. Like many other tables ate my recent visit there, you will ask what happened to the buffet and will be told they stopped serving it a few months ago and will, because of a long drive to meet friends and because you have waited all morning to eat, stay and try their a la carte menu. You will be incredibly disappointed. I tried the crab benedict dish, eggs benedict served over crab cakes that contained no lump crab whatsoever and were saltier than any food I have ever eaten. The eggs were fairly well made, however. I also tried a fruit and yogurt parfait that contained yogurt and granola with raisins. Not exactly my idea of fresh fruit, but what do you expect for 8 dollars? That''s right, I nearly frogot, their prices haven't gotten any more reasonable despite the fact that their other key selling point, a terffice view of the Sugarloaf Mountains is typically blocked during Sunday brunch by a tent erected outside for the weddings they cater to most weekends. So, if you like overpriced, underwhlming food in an inconvenient location with a lovely view of a temporary tent then The Comus Inn is the place for you. Please call ahead to be sure they are open when you want to visit. They are open five days out of the week but their schedule changes frequently based on the events they are catering on-site. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars - they are that good! We had the perfect wedding at The Comus Inn. Beautiful location, tasty food, and super professional staff about sum it up. Some highlights: - our rehearsal lunch place wasn't going to work out, and The Comus accommodated us having our rehearsal lunch there with no problem - on the day of, some wasps wandered into the tent (probably looking for warmth; it was chilly outside!) and Lisa, one of the servers, captured the wasps and released them outside the tent - one of the kids present didn't want her kid's meal and they made chicken fingers for her in record time - Lisa (again, awesome!) noticed me getting coffee near the end and brewed a new pot just for me - Cheryl was a pleasure to work with, as were all the staff - the staff set up all our decorations for us and the whole effect was just beautiful - Did I mention tasty food?! It was great! I would recommend them to anyone who wants an outdoor, low-stress wedding (and the reception tent is quite elegant and even has transparent walls so you can keep enjoying the view!). read more

We went here for Mother's Day Brunch, and it was well worth it. The drive up to this place is very nice, and the Inn itself is very well setup. The food was really quite good. The Omelette's and Eggs Benedict were excellent, as were the fish dishes. The only one dish at the buffet that wasn't as good was the chicken - too dry. The breakfast dishes like bacon and sausages were excellent as well. The deserts at this brunch were fantastic. The have a pastry-chef and make their own desserts, and it shows!! Overall, excellent meal. We will definitely keep this on the list of big bunch events, but also probably visit again for a regular Sunday brunch to see how it is. Now for the 1 not so good big. While the service overall was quite good, the attitude of the manager when we asked to sit at a different table was a little rude and ridiculous. He finally moved us to a different table in the same room - there were 3 tables, but complained that he has reservations etc. Well, 2 hours there, and the other 2 tables never got taken - so left a little bad taste in the mouth. Only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars. read more

I made a reservation for 7 for Thanksgiving and called to up the reservation to 9. They claimed they did not have the reservation and they were booked. The manager was extremely rude and had the "I don't give a damn" attitude. We had enjoyed our last Thanksgivings at The Comus Inn. Even though the food is just average, the atmosphere was good and prices fairly reasonable. It was a stroke of luck that I called to up the reservation. If not, I would have shown up on Thanksgiving only to be out of luck. We will be enjoying this Thanksgiving at The Dutch's Daughter in Frederick.. It's a bit more expensive but the food is much better. Due to attitude The Comus Inn has lost our business for good. read more

Was so looking forward to dining at The Comus Inn July 5th for dinner! Being Suburban (MD) natives of DC, this place has been in our wheelhouse many, many times, many years. So delighted to know that a new operation took over a few years ago to bring this lovely Inn back to life! My friend made the reservation, and we arrived 10 minutes early for Sunday dinner. DO Not try to sit inside the foyer in the a/c in the hot/humid summertime (with the elderly post-stroke attendee) until the HOST allows you access!. By doing so, the ( owner, manager, CEO CEOO CFO?) stood INSIDE the threshold, holding open the door (after inquiring if we had a reservation) so we could one at a time squeeze past him? what? The building has been restored and is "up to code" as we were told, in such a wonderful way!!! So glad and happy to see that in person! While we were allowed to wait in chairs in the Foyer, I commented to the Man behind the desk (Jesse) how nice it was to see the tradition of this "Olde Inn" restored with the new owners saving the Memory! Thanked him for saving that! "Jesse" then let us know that this was no 'save'. (of course) and that the build out cost sooooooo much! Was a Huge expense over many years and they are still struggling and in the Red! I recalled the last time I had been, many years ago, and the menu was good, not great but never seemed to keep up with the times. I asked 'who were the previous owners' German maybe? Our Man Jesse tells me (with a wave of his hand) that he doesn't know the previous owners, ( dis-missing THAT) but whatever they did, their mindset was, " If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I assured him that I understand that sentiment, while applauding the Inn for moving forward with the menu and extensive renovations! He then went on to let us know that we were SO FORTUNATE to have come this day! There is NO tent to obstruct the view! The Inn caters to Weddings! The Inn has never been voted the top 10 wedding destinations in America! The Inn is striving to be voted one of the Top ten wedding destinations in the America, if not at least the top 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Jesse' then again reminded us that this was a good day to come to the Inn for dinner! There was no Tent to obstruct out view! There are people who come for dinner and Complain about that dag gone obstructed view all the time! Jesse then lets us know that 'Chef" is ready to seat us. GREAT!!! We are still the ONLY ONES THERE. We make our menu choices, enjoy the 'un-obstructed' view and are seated for dinner. Every single serve ( re-filling the water, re-placing a spoon, handing a menu, bringing the bread, re-placing the bread plate, taking the drink order, serving the drink order, serving the appetizer (20 mins. EACH SERVE) A bit longer than normal? We ordered the crab hush puppies. (get them) Time to Table, 20 mins. Remove plating 10 mins, 10 more mins to order dinner. I order a side ceasar salad HUGE! 30 more mins, Remove plating. 20 more mins until Entrée arrives. The Post Stroke person in the party, unfortunately spilled his WATER GLASS at appetizers. My friend had to get up, find the staff in the back and apologize for the next 15 mins. I stayed at the table. the 2 servers and the Greeter (Jesse) react to this like it was a HAZMAT situation! GUYS!!!!! Whenever you have a patron who has ANY type of disability, go with the flow, Reacting like your building is on fire and how dare THAT patron put YOU in "THAT" position, um... well...... Remember why you spent SO MUCH MONEY on those handicap access sidewalks and rails for your weddings?? The Food was good, not fine dining for the price. When asking the waiter about the options, he could only say 'everything' was good! Specifically asked the waiter about the dessert menu. He was a kind good soul. Apparently the CHEF does not allow the servers to taste the menu choices. This was apparent tableside. Poor Guy. I got something familiar instead. The Post stroke attendee got something else, we all shared. I actually said in my OUTSIDE voice "Oh My God!" the dessert the friend got was superb. Too bad the waiter had never tasted that, or I would have chosen that, and told you about that here. I did ask the waiter for the recipe. He told me, if he did that, I would never come back. Rookie mistake! Well, they would really be better off catering Weddings and Private Parties, not Dinner. The attempt for fine dining is appreciated, but unless fulfilled, will result in a post like this. This venue does however have the approval the 'Secretary of the Interior' twelve years ago!!!!! whatever that means. I suppose, we now have to name drop (as all of us who have been here a while can, but we don't) to get that table by the window!! Best Wishes! read more

We went to The Comus Inn for lunch on a weekday, knowing that it was not the elegant Comus Inn we remembered, but curious to see what the new owners had done. Our experience was horrible. The lunch menu is pathetic a couple of salads, a mezze platter, a cheeseburger and wings. We waited 45 minutes for our cheeseburger which arrived overcooked and dry. n We could have gotten the same patties, moister, at McDonalds. The french fries ( which should have come with a $21 burger but were extra) we good as was the lemonade. The waitress knew very little about the menu and couldn't seem to decided whether they had desserts (listed on the dinner only menu) or not. We finally for the coconut cream cake which was dry and tasteless and to all intents, coconut free. For me to leave my dessert uneaten is unheard of, but neither one of us finished the cake. Comus Inn is now a cashless restaurant which means you also don't get a check. The come with their electronic hand-held, tell you what you owe and then give it to you to add your tip (for slim to no service) and sign. No chance to see if you were mischarged. This certainly is not the wonderful Comus Inn we remember but it is one to which we will not be returning. read more

My fiance and I brought my parents here as a "thanks for paying thousands and thousands of dollars for our wedding, enjoy this expensive food that won't come anywhere close to making up for that cost" lunch. My parents have been here millions of times, friends worked here when I was in high school, and this is like 15 minutes from where I grew up, but I had never been here before. The food was really good, the restaurant is very nice, and the view is one of the best in the area. And while we are not getting married there, it would be a perfect place for a wedding, especially a fall wedding. We started off with the fried pickles and onion rings, which came with an apple butter/mustard dip, which surprisingly complimented the onion rings. I got the Comus Club, which is just a regular club sandwich but the red pepper relish really kicked it up a notch and it was a really good, and really giant sandwich. We were there St. Patrick's Day weekend, so the fiance took advantage of the shepherds pie. My parents both liked their food, and despite all being stuffed, we decided to get some dessert. We got some sort of Irish Creme/chocolate bomb thing... which was incredibly rich, I could barely eat more than one bite. We also got the carrot cake, which was a sort of deconstructed carrot cake, but was also really good. I kinda feel like this is a "grown up" restaurant (not an old people restaurant, just, a place for real adults haha) and even though I'm getting dangerously close to 30 at 27 years old, I feel a little young for this place, and I think I especially would at dinner. However, I just looked at the new spring lunch menu, and the New England lobster roll and the bacon crab mac and cheese are both calling my name... read more

Great food, great service, beautiful setting and great atmosphere. Congratulations to the management team for a job well done! Highly recommend it. read more

The place looks nice, so plan for fancy dress if you go. No meals served at the bar, so plan did a sit down meal. They're also not keen on having you if you don't have a reservation, even if the place looks empty so plan ahead before you go. read more

We had a groupon deal for this place and since it's so close to us we figured we would give them a try for dinner. The restaurant is situated in a pretty picturesque setting where you can see the sugar loaf mountain during the daytime. We were pleasantly surprised by both the meal and the service we experienced here. Although the dining area we were seated in was a bit snug, it was comfortable and gave for a more intimate feel. My fiancé had the meat loaf which he enjoyed while I had the catfish gumbo which was a bit spicy but very flavorful. We were definitely the youngest in the room but noticed a lot of sweet older couples that were there on their anniversary. Maybe this will be our spot also :) read more

Nice food and good service. Awesome fine dining experience with beautiful view . I certainly recommend this place for dinning in.

My mother and I had a reservation this evening at the Comus Inn with a Groupon. We left in plenty of time to go down I270 but we were confronted with bumper to bumper traffic due to roadway paving. We bailed out at Urbana to go the back way, but that was just as bad, and then when we got to Hyattstown, there was an accident blocking the road back to the restaurant! I tried to phone the restaurant multiple times but no one ever answered and the phone went straight to voicemail. When I returned home, I finally got someone at the restaurant who was absolutely dreadful and said that the traffic was not his problem! He refused to extend the date on the Groupon (expires 9/23) and was unbelievably rude, basically blaming it all on me. So, I am out $$ for the Groupon and have had no dinner. No way will I ever return to that dump! read more

Went to The Comus Inn on St. Patrick's Day and had one of the specials: Shepherd's Pie which was reasonably priced and full of flavor. Very nice presentation. Rolls were fresh and served with a nice room temperature (thank you) honey butter. My wife had the blue cheese crusted filet which was done to request perfectly. No room for desert. Price was quite affordable with the Groupon we had. Host Jessy and the wait staff were very cordial and seated us at a table with a view of Sugarloaf Mountain. Very enjoyable. Visited March 2017 read more

The Comus Inn is a great upscale restaurant. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They had live music the night we were there, and it was entertaining without being overbearing. The view of Sugarloaf Mountain was great if you could see it, but our table was blocked by an outdoor tent so we didn't have a great sunset view directly from the table. The prices are high, basically what you would expect form an upscale place. Portions are generous enough for the price, though. I would definitely come back on special occasions, and am also looking forward to having their Sunday brunch. read more

Every few years we give this old place a try, and every time we are extremely underwhelmed. Nice atmosphere, pretty place, wonderful views, but that doesn't fill your tummy. Overpriced, over ambitious. Waffle so hard it could drive nails, one small sausage link, high school kids plopping plates on your table, not what one expects at these price points. Best thing about brunch was a decent price on a bottle of Veuve. Everything else, well, Let's just say Golden Corral does a better breakfast. Don't think we will return. read more

We were really looking forward to eating here on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. They host told us the sooner they could get us out of there the better. There was no warm welcome for our large family that was about to spend a lot of money to eat there. Towards the end of the mediocre buffet style meal, a waiter came into our private room to scold us about our sons running around. All five of my very well behaved boys were in the room being quiet and had never left the room we were in. We made a point of letting them know that and asked them. It to do that. I get that kids can be bothersome at a restaurant, but ours were being very good. They have been out at fancy restaurants frequently and know how to behave. They did not deserve to be reprimanded for the antics of the other children in the restaurant. I was appalled at how this very average place treated my family from the moment we arrived. They are certainly not the caliber they think they are. read more

Will never go back and would advise everyone to avoid such a poorly run establishment. The management is horrible and will be hostile to anyone who tries to complain. Poorly trained wait staff, uncomfortable chairs, oddly sized table, tiny rooms and lead to too much traffic. Most patrons around us seem to avoid talking to each other because the tables were such an odd size that one need to speak loudly. Why pay their prices for a meal that cannot be enjoyed? read more

Good thing I rated them previously. They would get 2 stars this time. My date went to considerable trouble to secure a reservation with a table overlooking the mountain. Instead, we were placed at an elongate table with a distant view of the mountain. We were seated several feet apart and it was difficult to hear each other. So much for a special evening out with each other! The salad was still terrific. Especially the one with the citrus dressing. The salmon entrée was also excellent. Put it on your to do list.The heavy spicing in the catfish completely overwhelmed this entrée. It is not recommended. We weren't as lucky with our wine selection this time though it wasn't bad. We are debating whether to give it a third chance or leave well enough alone. read more
