    4pm seating at Thanksgiving buffet… which is kinda late, but ran out of things at buffet including plates, pies, cider… our drink order took a while… served after 2 tables seated after us. Strange arrangement for buffet… mussels and shrimp near carving station, not salads, but food was VERY tasty!

    We were at the last seating on Thanksgiving day at 4pm. Not surprisingly things were beginning to get thin - we had to ask for the oysters to be restocked, they ran out of clean dinner plates at one point, and there was only decaf coffee available. The roast pork was dry and tough by then, too. We had to put our used plates on an empty table nearby as not enough staff to clean away between courses. Lots of choices for food but maybe not all the best quality, but the price maybe reflected that. Very utilitarian ambience, no atmosphere. No candles or greenery on the tables, or special lighting in the dining room.

    The organization for people entering and exiting was atrocious..Elderly people were forced to stand out in the pouring rain because they could not enter...People were also unable to exit because of the hoard of people at the door..Our server was excellent and extremely friendly..Very pricey but the food was great..They need to develop some better systems fir efficiency

    We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner buffet at the Exeter Inn. There were lots of choices in the buffet from roasted Turkey, salmon lots of veggie as well as stuffing soups and salads. Also shrimp cocktail, mussels and oysters. For dessert there was apple pie, pumpkin pie and different cheesecake as well as ice cream. The room was very comfortable and our waiter was very nice. They told us when we arrived that we had the table for 2 hours which was more than we needed. We will definitely return as it was a most enjoyable meal!

    Epoch has become our go-to place for Sunday brunch. Food is great including new menu additions. Christy and entire team are welcoming, professional and service-driven.

    Very limited menu. Food was average and overpriced. Service was subpar. We were seated and no one came to our table for 10 minutes. When server arrived, never introduced herself and greeted us with what do you want to drink? She mixed up our order. Even told us strawberry cheesecake for dessert and it was pineapple. Seemed very overwhelmed and inexperienced. Very disappointing experience for the money and 2.5 hours. Would not recommend.

    While the food was very good and our server was great, the main course took a long time to come out. There were not many people in the restaurant, so I’m not sure why it would take so long.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your most recent experience with us. We appreciate the time you took and the information we get from guests like yourself is invaluable. We had some challenges that we had to overcome, and my eyes were not as watchful as they have been so that I may have caught this sooner. Again, we thank you for dining with us, and hope you will come visit us again soon.
