    Firstly, we love the Greystone and have been there multiple times. Yesterday we went with another couple for the Valentines Dinner. We went early and had cocktails in the lounge at the Inn. Lovely. Then we went over to the dining area. We were then told we had to eat downstairs in another room (on banquet chairs) because we had a party of 4. A big part of the draw of dining there is the outstanding main dining room…we started off disappointed. So we went back outside and down the stairs…but the door was locked. And then the room was not 100% ready. And we were the only guests in the room most of the dinner- so the waitress spent most of her time (understandably) upstairs. The food was fine- as promoted. But I do not recommend anything other than the main dining area. I will be back- but I will make sure of the dining location first.

    We were there for a milestone birthday dinner and had a delightful waiter! We arrived earlier than our reservation but was able to be seated right away. The butternut squash soup was delicious as was the Caesar salad and pork tenderloin. The veal saltimbocca was good but was a little tough, overcooked maybe. My only issue was being charged for another cup of coffee, rather than having refills. The view of lake was nice, was a cold blustery night. The ambiance and fireplace inside made for a lovely birthday celebration! We will come back!

    Food is always good. Service is puzzling. Staff seems to hide. A bottle of wine order always seems like they ran down the road to a store to find what you ordered. Staff is nice but could be more attentive and available. Price is very fair for the quality.
    The Restaurant at The GreystoneResponded on 16 January 2025
