    I was really hoping for delicious food from the time period. The atmosphere was cool and lived up to the expectations we had. The server was great but the food seemed pre-prepared. I thought for sure they would nail the corn bread but it came out to us luke warm and tasted just okay. It’s good for museum food but I really was hoping for more. Just my opinion.

    We had a 7pm reservation on a Tuesday for 3 adults and 2 children. Service was not good and restaurant looked worn, like it had a rough day. We frequent the Mt. Vernon Inn quite a bit, but tonight wasn’t a good experience. It took a long time to get our drinks. They came out right before our food order. Just not a great experience. Food, as always though was delicious. I’m sure we’ll be back again, as restaurants have off nights, but it was disappointing.

    We loved everything we ordered-esp the peanut soup!! For our entree, we got Mac and cheese with bacon added, this dish was wonderful. The 2 men got chicken and waffles which had perfectly crunchy fried chicken and a fluffy waffle. The bourbon maple syrup was super delish. I got the Cobb Salad which was delicious but will take 3 meals to finish.. All of the staff, esp our server, were excellent. Very accommodating, prompt and accurate. Special kudos to the current menu-so many yummy entrees. Thanks for the great experience

    I once again enjoyed having brunch at the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant. The service was excellent as usual and I like the ambience and variety they offer. I think others should consider eating here when they visit Mount Vernon.

    The noise level was so bad could not hear the person who sat across from me.. I wish had known sign language The salad was average — the chicken was tough, full of lettuce, no dressing — poor The service was bad — never asked how things were, did we want dessert or something more to drink You had one person work an entire room.. No wonder — as a member of Mount Vernon I shall not return. I do not blame the waiter this is the result of poor management
