However, we decided to give it another try. There were 3 of us, and on this trip the bar was full, but there were plenty of tables. Our server was Steph and she was friendly. We ordered a pound of bang, bang shrimp, 2 crab cake sandwiches, and a lobster tower. It was very enjoyable, and we finished with the toffee bread pudding. It was not bad for a seafood restaurant nowhere near the ocean and in the middle of winter.

They were not very crowded, maybe a handful of tables occupied and the bar was a little on the full side. Hostess was nice, found a seat for us immediately. The service was a little underwhelming seemed like our waitress was also cooking the food. 20 minutes after we ordered, I was told they were out of my entrée, the crabcakes, a bit ironic, eh? So instead ordered a few appetizers. Overall, the food was fine, main problem we had that the bussers and waitresses kept trying to take our plates before we were finished with them, very strange, almost like they were trying to rush us out. Was not checked on very much-only had one drink each. Though I ordered 15 wings only 10 were served, but they only charged me for 10. Not a very attentive waitstaff to say the least. At least I tried it, now I know, a bit disappointed.

One of our friends ordered the shakshouka and adored it. My bestie and I decided to share plates and got the fried scallops and squash cream tonnarrelli. The tonnarrelli was almost like a squash mac and cheese, it was delightful. And the scallops WERE INCREDIBLE! You have to order these. I'm drooling thinking about how delicious they were. Do know that things are a bit on the pricier side here, but I recommend doing things family style.

We sat for dinner tonight and had Craig as our server. It was not crazy busy on a Tuesday night. We always love the quality of food. My husband had the filet mignon and I had the seafood ravioli. Both were amazing. We spilt the chopped salad and could not believe they charged $1.00 for splitting the $14 salad between the two of us. Really? After a $70 steak, you charge a splitting fee? The principle does not sit well with us. The service, unfortunately, was not what I expect. He did get tables all at once, which I understand, but we felt like our table of 'only' two was a burden. I really do not like leaving a restaurant feeling like that. All in all, the food is always amazing from a taste perspective. The bar experience for a couple cocktails is also always great. They really need to work on the service aspect in the restaurant. Customers should never feel like a burden. We do love the ambiance in general and the quality of food has not disappointed.

After our less than stellar experience the first time we came here, I had given honest but…read moreconstructive feedback on OpenTable regarding the restaurant. The manager had reached out to me on OpenTable and offered to send me a gift certificate to encourage me to come back, so we did that last night and our experience was AMAZING and truly one of the best meals we've ever had even with some of the sides, not being our favorite. We happened to have an entire area of the restaurant to ourselves and our waiter was attentive, gave great recommendations and was friendly. I had a piña colada sangria and a glass of sweet riesling, both of which were excellent. My boyfriend had two old fashions which he also really enjoyed. Once again, we were blown away by the appetizers. The crab dip is probably one of the best things you can get here. The grilled Caesar had excellent flavor and the shrimp were a good size. They were offering a special Wagyu steak that evening, which I decided to get and my boyfriend had the 12 ounce New York strip. This was my first time having Wagyu and it was cooked perfectly, medium rare to my liking and just melted in my mouth. We also ordered sides of plump crab meat so that we could top our steak with it, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and shredded brussels sprouts with bruschetta. While the mac & cheese and shredded Brussels left more to be desired, it didn't lessen our dining experience in the least. We ended dinner by sharing a delicious crème brûlée served with a biscotti (not picture because we ate it too fast!) If it hadn't been for the manager Michael teaching out to let me know he heard my feedback and offering a gift certificate to dine with them again, we probably wouldn't have come back, given this is about a 45 minute drive from the city. But I can honestly say that this experience completely changed our view of the restaurant and we will definitely be returning for future celebrations.

This is our second try of this restaurant. Our first visit provided a mediocre experience. This…read morevisit was far less impressive. Service was lacking and not very friendly. First, our appetizer was delivered with the entrees. One of our dishes was cold and needed to be sent back. The queso tasted like it came from a can. One item was not delivered with the order and needed to be requested. Granted, any of these things are expected to happen on occasion. But, not all at once when the place was practically empty (I guess the lack of clientele should have been a clue to move on). I don't particularly care to give bad reviews. But, if the service team had seemed to care...

It can…read morebe a little confusing to figure out where you are going, even with the signage, as the arrows designating where you are trying to head aren't pointing to their correct destinations, and some things, such as the restaurant, are absent from the signs in the parking lot. Once you find the right entrance though, preparing yourself for brunch here still will not be enough to ready you for the awesome experience that you will receive. The value alone for the price is worth coming here repeatedly, and that is without me even knowing if the menu for brunch changes seasonally or based on what is available on the market at the time! The dining room is very well set, minus the goofy china, and we were quickly greeted by our wonderful server. She engaged in my insane ramblings and conversation and told us all about the comings and goings of the restaurant and everything else I wanted to ask about. Our mimosas, champagne, and coffee were kept flowing and full at all times! The actual brunch buffet was outstanding. I was dumbfounded at the quality and variety of the foods on offer, especially the amount and selection of cold seafood. They have unlimited oysters!!!!!!! With all the accoutrement that you could possibly want for them. As well as mussels. So if you are a shellfish or smoked fish fan, get here immediately. The hot foods were also unbelievably good with one of my personal highlights being a banana foster; flambéed right in front of you that you can stack on top of waffles, French toast, or anything you'd like; in my case just eating a huge bowl of the bananas. This is a great brunch buffet in a little town that I never even knew was there despite having been to Kennett Square and the surrounding areas many times. It's actually a small town called Mendenhall. Makes you wonder if it's named after the Inn? Whether it is or not, this is somewhere you should definitely put on your list and come here. I don't know about lunch or dinner, but the brunch is stellar and I will definitely be returning many times in the future.

I have hosted several family gatherings and celebrations there as well for Sunday brunch and we were really looking forward to a very special time when Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the service and appearance of the food left a lot to be desired. I had a 2:30 reservation for nine family members. Most of us barely ate anything. We had to look for someone to serve coffee and beverages and we were forced to put our dirty plates at the end of our table or put them on another table as the weren't removing them in a timely manner. Going forward I will not plan any family gatherings on holidays at your restaurant. Serving the masses really cuts back on the quality of your service and food We were very disappointed.
