    Terrific dinner with excellent service from our waiter Tim. Highly recommend the scallops with risotto and the catch of the day, swordfish with grilled pineapple salsa.

    The food was very nice and service excellent and friendly. The ambience of the old old inn is amazing. We have been there before and I thought this old inn perfect for birthday dinner for my wife. It was.

    Aunque me esperaba más opciones en el menú, lo que pedimos estuvo muy bueno; particularmente me dijeron que el platillo que pedí lleva 50 años en el menú. Muy bueno. Muy buen servicio y el lugar ambientado en la época de sus orígenes. Muy recomendable!

    Superb food and service in an intimate, historic building. The beef Wellington was absolutely perfectly done. Great oysters to start, and the foie gras appetizer was wonderful. Mind blowing wine list, most of which we could unfortunately not afford but we found a few good options. A truly great experience.

    After 34 years we retuned to the White Horse Tavern. The food was really delicious. My beef Wellington was perfect, just fork tender. The steak knife was not needed. The oysters were fresh and had the perfect taste of the sea. The recommended wine paired with the correct notes.
