    I always choose atmosphere over food, and The Wilbur Mansion is a beautiful place with a wonderful ambiance and great service -so before I take the first sip or bite, I’m already happy! One of my favorite spots in the Lehigh Valley.

    We dined at the Wilbur to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was the perfect choice. I had the lobster ravioli, hubby had the sea bass, and we shared the peanut butter chocolate dessert. Gorgeous setting, delicious food.

    While the atmosphere was amazing (the mansion is beautiful and has tons of charm), the service was extremely slow and the staff were inattentive. The drinks were delicious but the time between ordering and actually receiving was annoying. The food was just ok not outstanding as we expected. Our party had the pork chop (slightly overcooked) and the crabcakes (well portioned but I’ve had better). The raw oysters and the mussel appetizers were delicious, however. Once we asked for the check, it took another 25 minutes to process, which was ridiculous. I’m glad we tried it but I won’t be going back!

    A nice night out as always! There were a few bumps, but nothing major: The amuse bouche needed to be warmer. Our waitress was overwhelmed with too many tables and she was also new - she kept forgetting about us. It look around 20-30 minutes for the dessert to reach us. However, the entrees were amazing! I really enjoyed the Mahi Mahi and my wife loved the Chicken Roulade. We took the desserts home with us, and they also were tasty. The waitress comped our desserts which I thought was tremendously sweet! Cocktails were on point, but extremely pricey. If you like to drink, pregame (safely) at home and enjoy one there. The rooms can get quite noisy, but overall a nice place to enjoy a fine meal out.

    We went on a Monday night. Seems like something happened at the bar. It took almost 35 minutes to get our drinks. We were a party of 3. Dinner took over one hour and the waitress who was very apologetic told us they ran out of items on menu. Both dinner items and a dessert. Kinda disappointing. Pretty place but the people even next to us were not happy. Would not go out of our way to recommend this restaurant. Sorry.

    Hello Nancy I wanted to apologize for your negative experience here at the Wilbur. I would also like to speak with you further so at your earliest convenience please reach out to me at the Restautant. I am also a little confused, you said you were here on Monday night but we are closed on Monday's, so I am assuming you were here Sunday night? I try to address any service or food complaints right away with my staff, so I want to make sure I know who was working when you were here.
