Great food cooked by Marty, the willing-to-chat male counterpart of this friendly owner/couple duo who offer warm hospitality; country decor interior filled with items of a bygone era; totally wired and renovated, big old house with its own backup power generators Wi-Fi; a rural setting of mountainous woodlands; small, nearby town; everything you'd want in a bed breakfast inn--like grandma's old country house without the old smell and with a private bathroom for every guest couple .... we'll definitely visit again Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5

May favorite place to eat in the Poconos. The owners and chef are gracious hosts. The food is always good. Particularly recommend the steamed clam appetizer and the fried green tomatoes.

I had read mostly good reviews about this restaurant, so we chose to dine here on the last of our vacation in the Poconos, even though it was a good distance from where we were staying. My husband and I must have hit this place on a really bad night, our experience was not good at all. We came on a Friday evening, with a six o'clock reservation, and our dinner went until eight, with no drinks, coffee, or dessert. There was only one very friendly waitress who was quite unavailable, because she was handling the whole place by herself. To say the least, the service from start to finish, was nominal, with a long wait for our appetizers, dinner, and we even waited some time for our check. A bigger problem than the poor service, was the quality of the food we were served. I ordered fried calamari, which was terrible. It was fried for so long that that the outside was hard, and way too crunchy. Consequently, the calamari inside was dried out, much of it had cooked down to nothing. What did remain was barely visible, was tough and chewy. The waitress never came to check to see if we were enjoying our appetizers, so I could not send it back. I told her as she simultaneously cleared away the appetizers with one hand, and served our dinners with the other. She apologized, and offered to have the calamari done over, but I asked her to take it off our bill, since I had my dinner in front of me. I ordered the beef tenderloin, which I heard her tell another customer later, could have been served with my choice of mushrooms, blue cheese, or onion strings, or any combination there of. I wish she had asked me what I wanted, I forgot after she told us all of the specials of the night. I ordered my meat-medium rare, but it came out medium-well, with very little pink. I did not say anything, because I had complained about the calamari earlier, and the steak was tender enough, with a nice flavor. My baked potato was not fresh from the oven, it had been re-heated, was very dry and not even hot enough to melt the butter. My husband said he liked his appetizer of Fresh Fig and Goat Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto, but the Summer Chicken Parmesan he ordered for dinner was disappointing. He felt the chicken could have been juicier and more tender, and there was not much spaghetti served with it. When the waitress hastily came over to ask us how we liked our meal, we told her it was fine, but honestly, it was not great at all. We skipped coffee and dessert, because our dinner experience had not been anything to linger over. Instead, we went to a place for coffee and dessert on the way to the resort we were staying at.
