Not As Good As It Should Have Been.... 4/9/2010

Okay, this is gonna hurt, but I'm going to be brutally honest here... My husband and I got married at the Inn and up until now, things had been quite wonderful. But this year when we went to celebrate our wedding anniversary, our impression of the Inn changed and I think it's for good this time... #1. We ordered a six course meal thinking it would be wonderful but unfortunately, the waitstaff managed to foul it up famously. With the Inn's six course meal, you get a wine pairing; that in mind, TIMING is EVERYTHING. During the appetizer portion of the meal, they brought our scallops before the wine.. So we begin to eat the scallops, thinking they'll be bringing out the wine any minute and then they don't deliver the darn wine until after the scallops had been eaten.. It would have been nice to taste that wine WITH THE SCALLOPS, so THANK YOU for that. This happened throughout the entire process... either the wine or the food was always late and to be honest, they weren't even that busy for a Saturday evening. Hmmmm... #2. There were smudge marks ALL over the glasses esp at the lip of my glass. I mean really, when you're paying six course meal prices, you at least expect the stemware to be spotless! Overall, what bothered me the most was the complete lack of attention to detail, particularly with the meal. Our server was trying to keep it so casual that she ended up appearing incompetent. And the stemware, I mean, the buser (again, a nice woman) was so concerned about filling up water glasses when she should have been paying attention equally to the cleanliness of the tableware. We might go back next year for brunch one casual Sunday morning, but never again for dinner. Too bad... I think this place has rested on its laurels long enough. Pros: Food, beautiful atmosphere Cons: Smudges On Glasses, Inconsistent Wait Staff, Overpriced more
