    What a disappointing New Year's Eve dinner. Our server was the only thing that saved this disaster. We waited 2 hours for our entrees, and the lamb chops arrived undercooked and cold in the middle. The timing in this restaurant is VERY off. It took 30 minutes for our cocktail order to arrive even before we placed a food order. We should have left then. We actually did leave mid-meal, frustrated and annoyed that no one other than our server seemed concerned. With a prix fixe menu on New Year's Eve in a restaurant that was certainly not full, The Elizabeth Inn was a disaster.

    Amazing New Years dinner. Food was delicious! Special mention to the delicious squash soup flavored with Bourbon and Maple. I had the Surf n Turf and the Scallops were fantastic! The Strip steak was very good. Service was a little lacking, but I think our waitress was new. Love this restaurant, it’s more… A dining experience. We are so blessed to have such good quality food and hospitality in our town!!! Thank You to the Managers who are always on top of things and happy to accommodate! Highly recommend the Elizabeth!

    The food was delicious, but it was disappointing to have to pay for bread ($9). Also we were seated at a high tables with high chairs, and were not given a choice. Prices were on the high side, and one guest ordered scallops on forbidden rice, and the serving was very small. At least add a veg., or more rice. (Veg. sides were also $9 each). We had one server who introduced herself by name, then five minutes later, another server announced she would be taking care of us, with no explanation. Overall a good experience though.

    This was one of the best meals we have had in Bethel in a long time. The mushroom pasta and scallops were just perfect. And the service was fast and friendly. Everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back.

    We had an amazing experience here for the first night of our honeymoon. The chef accommodated my dietary restrictions and both of our dishes and drinks were amazing. Service was top notch. Very cute space.
