    Chicken in a Pot very delicious. Do buffalo wings for an appetizer if you’re into a little spice.

    My wife an I visited here for Valentines Day, so experience may be different than standard. Due to my poor planning, the only reservation I could get for Valentine's Day was 3:45PM. It was a little early, but my wife and I tend to eat earlier so figured it was no big deal. We arrived at the restaurant and check in at the hostess stand. There was a bit of discussion between the workers. In the end, the employees were told to give us lunch menus. (Note - The door to the restaurant says that dinner starts at 4PM). Sure enough, we were given lunch menus when we were seated. These menus are primarily sandwiches. No worries though, here comes our savior, Olivia who was our server. She asks if we are interested in dinner and when we say yes she goes to get us dinner menus. Unfortunately she comes back empty handed and says that the management is being adamant that dinner menus cannot be provided until 4 PM but do we want to have drinks while we wait. She also lets us know that they are doing a special pre-fixe menu for Valentine's that does include wine pairing. Since my wife is considering a glass of wine, she leaves and comes back with the special menu so my wife can look at the included drinks. In the end, we decided to do the pre-fixe dinner ($195/couple). Food: Overall the food was good, but over seasoned/salted. The standouts were the strawberry spinach salad and the desserts (possibly because they weren't salted). Ambiance: The restaurant is nice, if looking like it could use some updates. The surprising part is how empty it was despite no reservations being available. It was around 5:30 when we left and they were still only about 25% full. Service: Olivia was amazing. She knew the menu well and described each dish in detail as it was served. She was attentive without being intrusive. Perfect service. Value: Overall, I felt the prices were a little high for the quality we got. Probably won't return due to better options in the area.

    Great food and service. Unfortunately we were seated next to two different large, loud groups, but we will definitely be back!

    I am a big fan of Manor Tavern. I had a huge birthday party there years ago. However my last luncheon meal was disappointing. My prime beef sandwich had so much fat on it. The meat was tough and I just ate a little. My husband’s crab grilled cheese sandwich was soggy. I had reservations for our anniversary dinner however I canceled them. I am sorry to say. Maybe just an off day.

    We had a very nice dinner here but not great. The food is good, but not to the level that supports the price. Cream of crab used to be so much better here, and other things were just above average. Fish was overcooked, spinach au gratin was overly cheesy, flatbread was overloaded with ingredients that were not up to par with a fine dining place. The service was phenomenal and overall it’s still a nice place, but they are charging too much for a less than premium experience.

    Services was not that good. Took 30 mins to get a soup appetizer not many food choices like the menu that’s on. OpenTable is not the same menu that they have there. I’ve been there multiple times for the prices that they charge. The food is not the best service is very slow. Noise is very loud at least where they stuck us at this time and bathrooms was filthy. Had to complain to tell them to clean the bathroom.

    The food was good. Very overpriced. Not much on the menu to choose from. Won't be in a hurry to go back.
