We chose The Reluctant Panther for a long-overdue romantic getaway. We had stayed there ten years ago when the inn was under different management and had a wonderful time. Since then, we discovered, the old inn, which was a quaint, intimate place, burned to the ground. The new facility is updated with the latest conveniences (Wi-fi, gas fireplace, whirlpool tub...

Just fantastic from start to finish. We came in stressed because Delta cancelled our flight for our honeymoon, throwing our wedding plans into disarray. We left feeling happy and relaxed, because everything about this restaurant is fantastic. First, it's beautiful and inviting. We sat by the fire and enjoyed a great cocktail (on the house!) while we finished our tortured... More

To begin with, the atmosphere is tremendous. Elegant, yet comfortable. For a sophisticated night out in Manchester, it's the best I've encountered.

She never brought out our bread (which we then requested), never offered a soup or salad course, and seemed put off by... More

We drove up from NYC based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The ambience was delightful. Elegant yet inviting, with cozy fireplaces and lovely table settings. The menu and wine selection were tantalizing and the food was fabulous. My venison was tender and perfectly cooked and the presentation and portion size was perfect. The wait staff and management...

A wonderful meal .....presentation excellent and outstanding service. The restaurant is in an inn and appears to also host special occasions. Cozy fireplaces and elegant table settings. Look at the menu on line before you go. Very specialized dishes especially salads and appetizers.
