4. Carversville Inn

My wife and I were in recently and we encountered a very surly waitress there. In addition, we found the responses from the service personnel less than accomodating. There seems to be no manager in charge and generally without the older setting, you might think you were in a local tavern. We notice they were not busy on a weekend night, which might because of what is poor quality service.

We ate at the Carversville Inn on Valentine's Day and were sorely disappointed. Our reservation was for 8:00 p.m. and we were not seated until 9:00 p.m. and we didn't get our first course until 9:30 p.m. We waited in the bar which was so crowded that the servers could hardly move because we were in their way. When we ordered dinner, it was so late that some of the selections on the menu were no longer available, which was very frustrating. For $75 a person, the meal was overpriced and underwelming. I don't see myself going back again.

Keep going back every other month and I'm never disappointed with the quality of the food. Only one occasion, where they were short-staffed for the evening, was the service a little spotty. Reservations are a MUST on the weekend. Be sure to go early and have a drink or two at the bar.

I have been a patron of this restaurant for 12 years. After my most recent experience this past Saturday evening (2/12/2005), I will not patronize this restaurant ever again. After waiting 45 minutes past my reservation and being informed by a very rude hostess that my wife and i would be dining in the over crowded bar, we decided to walk out. i will never recommend this restaurant to anyone ever again.

I have been there 10 times for dinner with my wife and friends. Every time it just seems better than the last. A dinner for just us two or a party, you guys make it all seem like fun.

Magic, having spent a snowy new years at the inn, a memory not to be forgotten.
