We enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet - the turkey and prime rib were both excellent as were the side dishes. The cocktails were equally as delicious. The staff were the best part. All extremely attentive and friendly. Highly recommend Greenbriar Inn for your next special outing.

Four of us went to Greenbriar for Thanksgiving. It is a buffet, and was done very well (a difficult task for a large crowd). The plates were warm, the food plentiful and tasty (even until well after the last table was seated), the service excellent, and the ambience warm and inviting. Well done!

Wonderful ambience and service. Food was average, due to buffet style and not all items being hot, some overdone. Reservations were well managed and the total dining experience was pleasurable.

We spent the night before Thanksgiving at the GreenBriar . The ambience was wonderful, the food was great. The service was unfortunately poor. Our entire meal took approximately 2 1/2 hours as we are fairly certain that they forgot to put our order in. We have been to this restaurant numerous times and have always enjoyed the experience, this was the first time that we were left feeling let down by the lack of service. Despite this, we do intend to return as it is a beautiful and pleasant experience in general.

The Greenbriar Inn is dining at its finest. From the warm relaxing dining rooms, to the excellent service - no dirty plate on the table for more than two minutes, to the excellent quality of the food. The drive transports you into this sweet oasis. We love it!

Just what I was needing a quiet nice dinner to celebrate with my husband. Food was delicious and beautiful. The salmon came with a fettuccine and the sauce was tasty. They have a very large wine selection with wine from many locations. It was almost overwhelming to decide on a bottle. They have a wine connoisseur to help if you need. Tried oysters with pickled onions and lemon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked it. The staff were all very professional and consistent.
