I made reservations for 4 a couple weeks ago and came in last night at that time, two buddies ran late so they escorted us to the third-floor where we got a couple glasses of wine and waited until other members of our party arrived where we then went to our table and our waiter could not have been better and more accommodating. Their customer service is insanely good, our table was wobbly so they put us in the VIP room where it was a single room with a single table with lounge chairs around it. This was literally VIP treatment that we got; the owner came in and shook our hands and we were then taken around by a historian after our dinner which was amazing. The portions were a little bit smaller than expected but all in all I was full and I was happy and they treated us very well. The historian took us around many parts of the house giving us a bunch of facts about the home and the tile and the brick and the electrical wiring and the history of some of the rooms and what they used to be it was just absolutely the best service I have ever had in a restaurant. I am definitely going to be coming back here for another special occasion as I can count on their staff treating us extremely well hats off to the staff, to the chef who made our food, and to the well versed historian, they respected and honored our time, our patronage and our visit; it could not have been a better night.

Oh wow what an amazing experience! Our waiter was so attentive and knowledgeable! Had the beef Wellington and it was incredible! All four courses were delicious! Highly recommend this lovely mansion! Also did the tour after dinner…so interesting!!

my husband took us here for our second wedding anniversary. to say we were impressed would be an understatement. the food was amazing. our drinks were so good. they brought us out every dessert for a surprise! we had a lot of fun talking to the bartender upstairs at the ghost bar and to top it all off the ghost tour after was so much fun! the mansion is stunning and i hope we come back every year and make it a tradition.
