Our party of four had the pan fried skate wing, Braised Beef Bourguignon, Grilled Pork Flat Iron, Duck breast.  Everyone was happy with their meal.  The skate was perfectly cooked which I enjoyed with a glass of Sancerre.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had dinner (did not stay at Inn). Best dinner in quite a while! Everything was perfect and I'm a highly critical food curmudgeon. Mussels were perfectly cooked, delicious well balanced sauce of wine lemon garlic thyme. Same for halibut, perfectly cooked, wonderful sauce. The bread at the start was amazing, a litmus test. Service was both friendly and professional, a difficult balancing act. And view was gorgeous and very comfortable atmosphere. Will return as often as I can get a reservation! Cannot think of a single thing that wasn't spot on and delicious.
