This was the second time our service wasn’t great. We had to flag our server down to order wine with dinner and dinner came before the wine arrived. Not a huge deal as our server was responsive when we flagged him,

We ate at the Dorset Inn restaurant several times, as we were staying there. Service is always very attentive. Reservations are honored in a timely fashion. Burgers, pastas, salads, specials, etc. were all excellent. The dining room and the pub can be a little more noisy than the large cozy dining room. You can eat at the bar. There’s a nice roaring fireplace in the pub area as well.
