We had Christmas dinner for 5. Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Took about an hour to get a glass of white wine and it came out at room temperature. Hot food came out lukewarm warm at best. Filet mignon entree came out as some other cut of beef with with no notice or explanation. We have lived in New Canaan for 30+ years and this was a top 10 worst meal and experience.

It was a lovely place for Christmas dinner. There were some larger groups, but it was mostly tables of two, three or four people, so it wasn’t at all noisy. The Inn was decorated beautifully and the staff was friendly and efficient. There was a special menu, which included vegetarian options. It was the perfect place for us and we appreciate that they were open on Christmas day.

One of my favorite restaurants. Food is always superb. Seemed to be a bit understaffed on a busy evening.

I had a wonderful Christmas lunch with friends. This is a 15 year tradition for us and this year was spectacular! The boeuf bourguignon was tender and full of flavor. And the setting never disappoints!

We always enjoy the Roger Sherman in. The last time we were there, we wrote a review saying the service was not up to par. However, this time everything was as expected. The food was great. The service was great love the ambience. Can’t wait to go back.

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.
