I will say that I grew up in the area and have seen the Brook Forest Inn go through many changes. It is currently the best it has ever been. The inn is currently under new management (this happened very recently) so take previous bad reviews with a grain of salt. The building and business is owned by the Atencio family, as in John Atencio jewelry, and they have gone above and beyond to restore the bar, restaurant, and rooms to an elegant state. We go there a few times a month for dinner or even just to sit at the bar and have a martini. I have never been treated with anything other than a respectful and courteous manner. I love the ambiance of the Brook Forest Inn. It is mountain elegance that is comfortable without being over the top expensive like some of the restaurants in Evergreen. Seems like the last reviewer had a bad experience, but I will say it sounds like perhaps they read a lot into the situation too. All of the guest rooms are furnished differently which gives it a ""bed and breakfast"" feeling and everyone has a unique experience. And it IS haunted. Try this out before you strike it off your list. It is important to support local businesses before the whole town turns into Chilis and Sonic (Conifer anyone?)
Pros: Ambiance, service
