    I really love this restaurant. Our waitress was lovely, but they were very very busy and we were put in the breakfast room, so the poor waitress had to keep running up and down stairs to us, and had a bunch of other tables, obviously. Most of the food was fantastic. I loved my onion soup, the bread and ham appetizer were both fabulous. we ordered a bunch of side dishes and they were sadly, a little underwhelming. The buttered radicchio just tasted like wilted radicchio, the romesco was ok, the mushrooms were good but also underwhelming. goddess salad very good. My husband's burger was downright beautiful to look at and the fries delicious. So I would have given it a 5 because the waitress was so nice and worked so hard, but because of what was probably under staffing, we waited 35 minutes to get our drinks and because a few dishes were a little less than stellar, I dropped a star. We will be back because it was overall very good!

    Many things went wrong. A few things went right. They could do better with some staff training and by losing the chips on their shoulders.

    Hi Jackson, It’s unfortunate to hear that things didn’t go as well as you hoped. Thank you for your feedback on our service. We wish you a happy new year.

    So nice to see an antique building properly updated. The rooms and restaurant are very nicely done. Accommodations were comfortable, clean and tasteful. It was our anniversary and there was a bottle of champaign in our room and a complimentary glass of Proseco in the restaurant. The restaurant was charming, food was delicious and service just right. I would go back again (we live near Boston) and gave our son and DIL a gift certificate to the restaurant for Christmas (they live in W MA and have never made it down there). Kudos!

    Hi Jean, Happy Anniversary, and thank you for sharing your experience! One of our main goals at Wm.
