We were very excited to experience the famous Greenbrier Christmas buffet, but were extremely disappointed in the taste and temperature of the food. The quality and choice of options was not commensurate to the $89/pp price point, which did not include drinks.

Greenbriar is one of my favorite places. They used to make a Caesar salad at your table and used to have beef wellington for 2. They don't have either anymore. The Caesar was good but not as good as before and the beef wellington for 1 was good but didn't have foie gras, which was disappointing. Stil very good.

We just enjoyed another wonderful evening with friends at Greenbriar Inn. Our server, Sam, was excellent. A beautiful evening in the sunroom looking out at the holiday lights. Couldn’t be better.

Our waiter, Don, was fantastic. He made our annual family pre-Christmas dinner a special night. Wonderful food and lots of laughs. And, you can’t beat the atmosphere for a holiday evening.

Consistently excellent! The little dining room is classic and, especially at Christmas, the ambience is perfect (oh, and always order the French Onion soup!)
