    The food at RSI is always wonderful. What disappointed a bit last night was the service. First, the waiter did not understand a drink order, even though it was a signature cocktail from their menu. Next, he did not share any specials for the evening, yet did to other tables. Finally, a dessert item was not as listed- different topping which changed it. It will not keep us from returning, but hopefully this helps the management to know where training might improve their experience.

    We love going to the Roger Sherman Inn. It’s very pretty, quiet and upscale. However, the last couple times we’ve been there the service has not been terrific. Not sure if they’re understaffed or if the particular waiter we had last night was new, but extremely slow. The owner was dining in the restaurant at the table next to us with her family. When they were finished with dinner, she was actually clearing plates and taking drink orders. I still love this restaurant.

    We enjoyed a birthday celebration in the pub room of this beautiful historic inn. The menu was well thought out with options from a simple burger to duck, swordfish and steak frites. The food was excellent and service friendly and professional. A true neighborhood gem.
