    Food is always good. Service is puzzling. Staff seems to hide. A bottle of wine order always seems like they ran down the road to a store to find what you ordered. Staff is nice but could be more attentive and available. Price is very fair for the quality.

    Somewhat chaotic upon arrival. We had a 1:15 reservation…we were seated approximately 20 minutes late. I believe the staff was overwhelmed and tired causing the delay. They diligently worked through it but they appeared to be tired. Found out they had been on the floor since 7AM. Both of our meals were well prepared, great taste and good portions. Value was good

    We enjoyed our Christmas Brunch at the Greystone Inn. The staff were busy but friendly. We had a great view of the lake and the facility was nicely decorated for the season. The atmosphere was light and we were easily able to hold a conversation without a noticeable background drone. The meal was delicious with my wife ordering the Stuffed GingerBread French Toast and I had the Oven Roasted Turkey. We shared each of the meals so both of us experienced the best of both.

    An amazing Christmas brunch . We are staying at nearby rented Foxhunt townhouses and made reservations based on the staff’s recommendation. We were not sure what to expect since it is Christmas day. The meal exceeded all expectations. We ordered almost every dish on the brunch menu for the 5 of us to share. The not eggnog was a hit with the kids and the cocktails were delicious. Thank you so much for working Christmas day and serving us such a amazingly delicious meal. We plan to be back and be guests at the inn next time . Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you !
