    Had a lovely dinner. The special was pickerel with a dill and peppercorn sauce and risotto. Very nicely done. Fish and chips were also outstanding. Robert provided great service. One of our go to spots. Afternoon tea is also exceptional here!

    All things considered (given we dined here amidst a global pandemic), The Waring House was quite enjoyable. We sat outside in the garden, listened to live music, and were served promptly with friendly service. The food was tasty and came out without delay. If you’re looking for a quiet, outdoor meal on a warm summer night, I would recommend!

    Let's start with the good things...chefs know what they are doing in the kitchen The meal was delicious. Too bad the ambience felt like a bus tour dining room with overly bright lighting and loud long rows of diners . Our table kept tilting ..noticed others struggling with the same issue. The waitress was stressed . The absolute worst thing...it was my husbands 60th birthday dinner. The reservation was triple checked for a preordered special apple pie which I was assured by the Huff estates where we were staying and the Waring House was a go...they totally forgot. We waited and mentioned this to the waitress who basically only came back with our bill. So disappointing. The big 60th birthday dinner was somewhat a bust.. Attention to detail sorrowfully lacking.

    The Waring House Inn- Amelia's Garden Restaurant definitely 'does not' qualify as fine dining. A nicely decorated dining room with view of a flower garden from the windows. HOWEVER, the dinners (4 in our group) were by far 'the worst experienced' under an Open Table reservation. Quality of food, for all of us, was disappointingly poor. Pickerel was tasteless. Entrée of the day, Prime Rib Roast was tasteless, tough, chewy and an exceedingly thin slice of meat placed over mashed potato. It was very pink even though ordered closer to well done. And yet very chewy. Firmly believe this was a cheaper piece of meat served in disguise by this restaurant. Burnt on the bottoms and crispy dry Yorkshire pudding accompanied our 3 plates. Service was friendly, but exceedingly slow. Waited almost 2 hours after being seated at table, for first course of 4 soups to come. Just prior to serving, our waitress informed us that the kitchen ran out of soup and had to make another batch. Dining room was practically empty on the Sunday evening, how could that be? Dessert which was to have ice cream with it according to menu, came without. Upon bringing this up to server's attention, a separate bowl of 2 scoops of what appeared to be frozen yogurt consistency arrived. Truly disappointing that the meal for the two of us ($134 before gratuity) for what we paid, was not what would be expected for the price we paid. Not fine dining experienced. 'Definitely Not Recommended.'

    We celebrated our anniversary Sept. 2nd by dining at Waring House. The service was excellent. Our server was welcoming, professional, and made a positive contribution to our experience. We have fond memories of Waring House, going back some thirty-five years. Our experiences there have been uniformly positive. Until this last one. Please be advised that the quality of our meals was so poor that, except for our history there, we would not go back. My wife had a steak. It was overdone, and virtually tasteless. I wondered about poor quality meat disguised with marinate. I had the special. Pickerel is challenging to cook, but done correctly has a wonderfully subtle flavour. Mine was overcooked, and even with the dressing was essentially tasteless. The visual presentation of both meals reflected careless acceptance of mediocre. Waring House over the years has reflected skillful management with focused attention to detail. We sincerely hope our negative experience was an aberration.
