Restaurants near Bates Englehardt Mansion

Nate was a great server! We enjoyed everything! We had the lobster bisque, clam chowder, focaccia, and a shrimp cocktail for a nice early light dinner.

The amuse-bouche was delicious: a squash puree, with cranberries, and a wonderful crumble -- could be an appetizer! Shrimp Cocktail is superb -- very large shrimp; good cocktail sauce. Caesar Salad tonight was very good: dark green lettuce, very good dressing, nice bread accompaniment. Spouse's crab cake was appropriately prepared and tasty. My bone-in rib-eye was very good. Ordered it medium-rare -- was just on the border, more approaching medium. The Buttered Mashed Potatoes side we had was delicious BUT for the size (small ramekin), the price $16.00, is outrageous!! It wasn't busy, so the noise level was not an issue.

We visited for a late lunch. We both had the salad special of the day and added seared salmon. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Andrea, our waitress was wonderful - the perfect combination of professional and friendly. Josie’s Table is a great go-to spot for a nice meal!

Delightful atmosphere and excellent service. We impressed with the variety on the lunch menu.

We really enjoyed our meals at Canal Side Inn. The food was excellent! Could not have been better. From interesting and fresh soup and salad choices, to well prepared and presented main courses and desserts, everything was great. The atmosphere is like taking a step back in time, with wood paneling and even a full phone booth outside the bar area. The music, tunes I remembered hearing at my grandparent's house, complemented the environment nicely. Tables were beautifully set and the service pleasant and attentive. The only thing that was a slight negative, and due to the age and location of the space, was a musty smell initially upon entering. A little bit like a grandparent's house, too! :) In no way did that impact the overall experience for us, and we will definitely be back.
