Customer Reviews
“ Really great food and service. We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast...all excellent. Very friendly service from Taylor and Fallon. This is THE place to eat in Perry. ”
“ Had supper....chef salad with lemon vinaigrette. Told the waitress Id like a 55 gallon barrel of the vinaigrette to go please. Wasn't really kidding. It was the perfect balance of vinaigrette and a hint of sweet citrus! It enhanced without overpowering. The greens were fantastic and fresh. It was the perfect light summer meal that chased away the humidity without begging me down. The staff were smiling and made sure we had everything we could need. They were efficient without seeming stressed. Everyone around us tucked into delicious looking dishes as well. My table mate got perfectly cooked pork chops that smelled absolutely divine! The whipped potatoes that came along with looked very light and almost made me regret following my low carb eating plan! I was again tempted mightily when I heard rumors of Tiramisu being offered for dessert. Sometimes being good and following a meal plan just sucks. But I can go back and im sure they would keep my secret indulgences just that. If you haven't been yet....what exactly are you waiting for? It cost me less than the burger joints and was so much healthier. Even the more traditional fare was exceptionally reasonable in price so don't let that stop you! Go already!! ”
“ This Honey Cauliflower appetizer is worth the visit alone ! ”
“ This historic hotel and cafe/restaurant is a gem. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We love the historic feel of the place without the mustiness. This place is well kept and clean and gives you a nostalgic feeling. Loved the paintings through the restaurant. ”
