We went here for our anniversary - which is New Year's Eve - and had a wonderful meal. The atmosphere is lovely and, even though it was a busy night, we never felt rushed. Food was delicious. More

Eating there is a great escape, but staying overnight is a luxury. Weddings are beautiful there, and family get-togethers. Food is excellent. We stayed in the Bath room, and it was a great anniversary night for us. More

Our first time dining here and we loved it. The food is excellent if you are looking for something in the $30 a plate range. The presentation, quality and flavor were all in line with what we paid for. Although the meal started out well with decent soups and salads, the finishing dessert tray left something to be desired.

The waiters and hostesses are friendly and attentive and always go the extra mile to assure a pleasant experience. The food is well prepared, fresh and beautifully presented. The lovely gardens are a bonus,... More

This charming Tudor style B&B and restaurant is always a special treat. Located in a country setting it is a perfect change of pace for the overnight traveler wanting a welcome option to the "expected." Each room in the Inn is individually themed. If the restaurant were located in NYC, the crusine would be highly rated and the recommended attire:... More

We dined at the English Inn for a birthday celebration, during the "Sunday specials" menu hours. The dinners may have special pricing during this time, but no corners are cut. From the chicken to the Chateaubriand, everything was prepared perfectly and delicious. The service was outstanding, and management gave us special perks for the birthday girl. The ambiance at the...

This restaurant has it all-delicious food, great service, and ambience. We visit family in the area for the holidays, and therefore have the pleasure of visiting the English Inn each year. We have never been disappointed. It is decorated so beautifully for Christmas. The duck in the cassoulet on the holiday menu is fantastic-tasty and tender. In January, a special... More

I LOVE this place. The ambiance of the place alone is worth the drive down. Thankfully the food is usually top quality too. More
