                  I created an account just so I could heap praise on our servers Patricia and Jackie! We ended up having dinner here two nights in a row and both nights we recieved special attention, warm welcomes, seamless accomodation and a lot of charm from all of the serving staff, from the hosts to the food runners, but especially from our main servers. We left our take-home container behind, and Patricia walked it across the facility to our room, which was above and beyond what we expected. The next night Jackie remembered us (though she hadn't served us the night before) and made sure to make our second night as special as the first. The food was slightly overpriced, in my opinion, but the waitstaff made everything worth while -- these ladies are your best asset and I hope you appreciate them!

                  The aps were not great. Over priced and had barely any flavour. The mains were good but my husband got sick from the halibut. Deserts were ok. Service was wonderful, our waiter was so lovely. Overall, the price was too high for the quality and taste of the food.

                  Amazing Mother’s Day brunch today. Food was great and the service even better. We drove from Toronto and it was well worth the drive. Beautiful grounds and setting. But all of this would mean nothing if the service wasn’t up to par. Far exceeded our expectations. Amazing people you have working there.

                  We had high hopes for our dinner at the inn, especially with a reservation booked in advance. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several key ways. To start, we waited over 20 minutes before our server even approached our table. In that time, we had thoroughly reviewed the drink, dinner, and dessert menus. While the restaurant clearly aims for a fine dining atmosphere, the execution was lacking, and the service failed to meet even basic expectations. The food itself was pretty good, but overpriced and trying too hard to be upscale without the finesse or consistency to back it up. After finally placing our order, the service remained slow and inattentive. We sat with our empty plates in front of us for 15 minutes before anyone came to clear them, and during our meal, our server made unprofessional complaints to us about other tables. It made an already underwhelming experience even more uncomfortable. We had informed the staff in advance that we were celebrating a birthday, but the acknowledgment left us speechless—in the worst way. They brought out an empty plate with a candle stuck to it. Honestly, no mention at all would have been better. Oddly, the highlight of the evening was the hostess and support staff, who seemed far more attentive and polished than our assigned server. Their efforts stood in stark contrast to the rest of the service and were the only redeeming part of the evening. Overall, this attempt at a fine dining experience missed the mark.

                  Dear Robin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and the support staff. However, we're truly sorry that the service fell short, especially with your server on such a special occasion. I will address your concerns with my team, We hope to see you again in the future.
