    Excellent place to eat, I've been stopping in here for years on my way through Norland. The food is amazing, staff very friendly, washrooms are spotless and the cost is very reasonable. Worth every penny. You have to stop by here. You won't be disappointed!

    Everything was great except disappointed in wine. Pinot Grigio was very sweet. Also online asked if was a special cell. We registered it was a birthday. Unknown why it was asked as nothing was done, no piece of cake or acknowledgment.

    Restaurant was incredibly noisy last night, partially because some staff were behind the bar clanking knives and forks and talking loudly to,either each other or some guests. This disturbed our guests

    If schnitzel is on the menu when we are travelling that is usually what I have. The Inn makes one of the best I have ever had. Portions are huge and there is always a doggie bag involved.

    I was very disappointed this time have been in quite awhile and was looking forward to having my favorite dish from there. seafood pasta dish had shrimp, scallops, crap all in a delicious creamy sauce and pasta think was linguine. but they don't have it anymore got this shrimp dish with bow tie pasta not much taste and was spicy was not good. Our waitress brought my husband the wrong beer and our friend wrong pop and never got my water. sorry to say won't be back.

    Thank you guy we had a magnificent time I could see you all were extremely busy but I tell ya You all Rock It!!! Food was flying outta the kitchen fast plus you all had a wedding party full patio and we never once felt ignored. I love my Crispy Asian Pork amazing my partner enjoyed her Prawn Pasta but we both agreed my dish won… Both Appetizers delicious the Spinach Dip and the 🥓Wrapped Pickles amazing Truly recommend this classic Norland institution to anyone and all Jimmie Lochlin
