Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Montchanin

An A+ treat for our first Thanksgiving ‘out’ at a restaurant! We always look forward to Columbus Inn’s consistently excellent food prep & creative use of fresh ingredients. Flavor surprises abounded in each & every course of this traditional family style Thanksgiving. Kudos to the owner, chef & servers (Cassidy was excellent), for combining the warmth & traditions of a family Thanksgiving meal with wonderfully-flavored upgrades to well-known dishes.(green bean casserole, butternut squash soup). To cap it off, the holiday tradition of ‘taking home leftovers’ was an extra little surprise, enabled by all the generous family style portions during our meal! Thank-you!

We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.

Service was great when the waitress actually showed up. Menu was odd but what we ordered we liked. Would have ordered more after apps if our waitress ever returned. We called it a night and went to grab wings. Good concept poor execution.

Wasn't disappointed on our second visit! Five course selection was creative and delicious?

This restaurant in the Westin Hotel was a surprise. The food is very good as was the service. The ambiance is lack luster and doesn’t fit the level of the cuisine. We will definitely be back when we are at an event at the river walk.
