We have been long time visitors to the Wayside Inn (we were married in the chapel up the street and had our wedding rehearsal dinner there etc) and loved it. We still enjoy the appearance and the history of it. The bar is cozy and a perfect place to sit by the fire on a cold day and get a drink. But the restaurant is a very different story. It seems that they are never fully staffed. It was like our waiter was invisible the entire day. We were seated and there was a noticeable delay until he came with menus and took our drink order. When he finally returned with the drinks, he apologized for the wait, took our lunch order and again disappeared. After another considerable wait he appeared again with the appetizers and apologized for the wait, refilled our water glasses and "poof" gone again. When he brought our lunch, yet a third apology. My wife got a salad with no dressing. Our attempts to flag anyone down to assist us were in vain until my wife said, "forget it". We were long finished and I saw our waiter, I made the universal sign of "bring us our check" and he approached saying, "yea, yea, yea, I'm coming".. He never asked if we wanted dessert, which was fine because we had already agreed it would be nice but too much of a hassle and figured we could get it elsewhere. This was our first time back after several years. We had a similar experience the last time for a family gathering and dinner there. Sadly, it was the same this time also. My advice is stop in for the atmosphere, have a drink by the fire, but then dine somewhere else.
Fantastic traditional food in a historic location. As a Brit I would call this a perfect place for a Sunday Lunch. The prime rib is excellent and I was told the salmon was equally good. Vegetarian options were also excellent and incredibly tasty. It is a bit pricey but worth it.
Wayside Inn is slipping. An hour to get waited on. Problems in the kitchen. Problems with wait staff. Manager walked by our table 6 times to take care of the irate couple behind us but did not stop to assure us or explain to us what the situation was. Food finally came and was cool. Dessert was free but our annual Christmas get together was disappointing overall. Next year's get together may be somewhere different.
300 years and running! Have been here before to visit the Grist Mill and the Schoolhouse and have had drinks in the bar but ate in the restaurant the night before Thanksgiving and had a great experience. The food and service were wonderful and the server suggested a really great English ale which was just fantastic. The rooms for dining with larger groups (10-20) are really neat - fireplaces, low ceilings and wide planked wood floors. Such a great place. Make sure you go during the day and take a tour.
Why do the same old boring dinner. A small or large business dinner sure to be hit with this cozy and historic restaurant. Good food with great conversation. Able to handle large groups. Call ahead and reserve one of the historic rooms.
