Service is reprehensible. Staff inattentive and rude. Food is comparable to a school cafeteria. The Inn may be nice in some rooms (those pictured on their website), but ours was dank, smelly and just dumpy looking. Plus anyone could have broken in as the lock on a window didn't work and there we no screens. Door could be pushed in by a 98lb weakling. Back garden view was pretty, but side view was of dumpster and strewn about trash. Noisy AM & PM

Wow! A little worn around the edges no more, the Kittle House has been given a contemporary facelift that carefully updates this lovely old place. The new chef brings flair and zest to what has always been a distinguished kitchen. The service (for a somewhat small crowd) was friendly and attentive -- even while a wedding reception was in progress downstairs.

All courses were very good except some of the desserts looked good, but tasted like commercial goods. But, for dessert, the cheeze platter was wonderful. Salmon came in a great broth. The service was well timed, professional and friendly.

Lovely, romantic setting. Perfect for dinner for two. Food was well-prepared and service was seamless. A bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. The bar is a nice, quiet place to have drinks and conversation with a friend.

Had two excellent meals recently, then tried their brunch. It was OK but when I got the bill, I saw a pre-printed 20% tip (before tax) and another line for "additional tip." TIPPING IS DISCRETIONARY, and no restaurant has the right to make 20% minimum. I wonder if on my previous dining occasions I merely overlooked the 20% minimum tip and actually tipped more than 40%. We're not returning. I don't care if they seat us next to Bill and Hill.
