    We are members of Mount Vernon and took our visiting parents to eat in the restaurant during thanksgiving holiday. We were so excited to share with them how proud we were to be members of this historic organization having just moved to the area. Our server was awesome. However, the staff bussing the tables next to us made a lot of noise putting glasses and plates away. I turned to them and asked politely if they could make less noise to which both staff members made faces at us, said inappropriate things, and purposely made more noise with plates and chairs. Even our server came back and said she heard and witnessed the rudeness. The manager came over and apologized which was kind. There was no offer to comp any of our meal. The bus staff returned to bus another table and appeared to have been corrected by manager. We were so disappointed in this unfortunate experience and have zero desire to dine there again.

    I arrived at 2 pm and was seated immediately since I had a reservation. The waitperson came right away and handed me a menu and left to give me time to look it over. I ordered the peanut and water chestnut soup, the turkey pot pie, and the colonial bread pudding for dessert. What can you say about peanut soup? Okay I had it, it tasted good, and I never need to have this colonial specialty again. No knock on the restaurant, it has other appetizers to choose from. The turkey pot pie had chunks of roast turkey and vegetables swimming in gravy around a circular piece of baked bread. I thought it was pretty good and the serving was big enough for two to share. The colonial bread pudding was quite good raisins and with vanilla ice cream. I had an enjoyable time celebrating an early Thanksgiving. They are completely booked for the holiday.

    Thirty-three years ago we had our wedding reception here and it was wonderful. When making our reservation we were asked if it was a special occasion and we put anniversary. Our server was wonderful! The drinks were good. The food was nothing to write home about. We got the baked brie appetizer which was good. However the crackers that were served with it were stale and some were broken. We were seated in a very busy room, however we were the only customers seated in that room. It was between the bar and a private event. People were constantly walking through the room. Nothing that we were celebrating our anniversary on the reservation wasn't even acknowledged. Such a sad experience!

    It was so personal and thank you for making available the Blue Room. It was quiet enough for my 83 yr old mother with hearing aids to hear all our dinner conversation, esp with a table in the corner. Waiter was fabulous as well! Can’t wait to return again soon.
