   The food and service is always good. Somewhat disappointed in the casual attire in the dining room including flip flops on the floor

   Our Lunch experience was above and beyond. The food was very tasty and the ingredients fresh, the server was very helpful and kind. The place is exquisite, quiet and beautifully maintained. My only recommendation is to have more variety on the lunch menu.

   It was our 52 nd anniversary and the Inn was exactly as stated . Great building ,smaller intimate dining areas and great food. Pricey but well worth it. Gary & Judith Bouliane

   Had a great time. Loved Amanda from the spa. Todd provided us great service and the history of the Inn. You need different coffee makers in the room. Was disappointed it wouldn’t work for me. The coffee at the buffet wasn’t good

   The service was outstanding and the food was good. The room we were in was small, and busy, resulting in a moderate to loud sound level which made talking difficult and significantly reduced the pleasure of eating there. The house itself is an historical treasure. We've enjoyed eating in several of the larger rooms much more.

   It was Mothers Day and of course it was busy. The entrance was very congested with servers walking through constantly and people not knowing where to wait until they were called. We had the buffet which was the only option on this day. The buffet was confusing with everyone bumping into each other so there was no clear direction for people to flow. The food was ok. Nothing special or outstanding. The building itself is very nice but could use a clean. When I sat down at our table i looked at the wall and found that there had been some type of food splatter that had been there for some time. I guess I expected a bit more attention to detail in the cleaning department. If you are going with someone who can not navigate stairs very well, ask for the main floor dining. There is a second floor and if we had been seated there my 87 year old mother would not have been able to go up and down the stairs to the buffet. The grounds outside were nice.

   I was disappointed to say the least. The meal was $50 a person and the entire experience was awful. My mother is 81 years old and we were sat at a table upstairs, a very large flight of stairs she would never have been able to walk up and down multiple times. We were never given a choice between the upstairs and the main floor. I was very disappointed to see the omelet station was gone, the waffle making station was gone also. There were almost no vegetarian options other than salad. There was less food options than there had been in previous visits and the food didn’t taste like it was being freshly prepared, it appeared a container was being opened and it was then served onto the buffet. The seating time felt rushed. We were even reminded twice that our table times was almost up. It was chaotic with staff rushing all over. The focus seemed to be on getting as many people in and out as they could and not the quality of the experience. It was sub par and a waste of $230. I would have rather at a a food chain. I’m not sure what has changed at the Elmhurst but the quality has gone way down the very things that made the Sunday Buffet great were gone. The overall feeling was you were to eat as fast as possible and get out so they could get it clean for the next seated time. I wouldn’t recommend going there if you want an experience and I wouldn’t recommend going there if you’re vegetarian or you have dietary issues because there are zero options other than 4 salads. Save your money and go to a chain restaurant where you can at least enjoy your meal and sit until your finished drinking your coffee.

    The food was good. We were not disappointed but it was frankly not super note worthy. The prime rib was good, perhaps overpriced. The duck pasta again was good but not super noteworthy. The service was spotty. Good and points and at others we waited too long and we were the only ones there.

    Haven't been to the Elmhurst for about 30 years. It was fantastic!! Service, ambiance, food was exceptional! If you have time to walk the grounds do so. It's gorgeous and peaceful. Highly recommended!

    First visit since the pandemic and it was excellent. Warm greeting at the door, table ready and waiting. We went to the Sunday brunch. There was an excellent variety of food, all nicely displayed. No rush, opening mimosa was a nice touch. Service was wonderful.

    Excellent Menu, perfectly crafted dishes with more than adequate portions, and amazing beverage options. Every part of the meal is made with care, and it shows. A great dining experience set in smaller dining rooms in a very well maintained Victorian House.

    The food is amazing! The rooms are small and separated so you feel like you’re there alone. The staff is very knowledgeable and very attentive. They have few tables at a time. The wait times are perfect, just enough time to eat your app and have a drink then entree. The portion sizes are good too!
