American Hotel - Sharon Springs

Ive always loved this place however, yesterdays brunch was not up to par.the eggs benedict was not acceptable.both eggs were cooked almost to hard boil.no creamy yellow yolk running from the eggs.potates were cold and we both had about 6 to 8 on our plate.waitress was not attentive and never asked us if we needed anything or if our food was ok.another waitress finally stopped by so we could have refills on our coffee as we were eating breakfast.i understand good help is scarce right now however we are paying customers and deserve better.as i said,i was always happy with the food there but not this time.wait staff needs more training along with the chef checking his food preparation before he sends it out.if its not perfect,do it again!

The American Hotel is a dining experience amidst a small rural farming community. You will be made to feel at home and comfortable and yet treated to a fine dining experience without pretentiousness. Owners, maitre d', waitstaff and kitchen staff are all friendly, professional and fun. A worthwhile experience wether looking for a full course dining experience in your finest designer wear or a casual pub menu delight on your way home from the lake in your shorts and docksiders.

My friends and I went to The American Hotel yesterday while in Sharon Springs for the day. The decor was wonderful and interesting. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was delicious! I had the poached eggs and crab cakes. The only thing I would have changed is that I would have wanted more hollandaise because it was so delicious!

Had a superb dinner here on a rainy Saturday night. It was raining so we ate in the main dining room of this charming and lovingly restored historic hotel. Weather permitting, the back garden with pleasant lighting and a beautiful fountain would have been my first choice for seating. The long, covered front porch, with plenty of comfortable rocking chairs was a perfect spot to enjoy after dinner coffee or a cognac and listen to the rain. Dinner began with everyone at our table of 5 ordering the special corn soup. Our beautiful server, Kelly, tipped us off that this is a very special treat and only made when fresh, local corn is available. It was the best tasting dish anyone has ever made with fresh corn. Unlike corn chowder, it was puréed, without cream, making it wonderfully light and bursting with corn flavor. It was topped with a couple of large, blackened shrimp and fresh, red hot pepper. The corn soup stole the show, and launched us into culinary stratosphere. We enjoyed the much photographed lamb chops, a perfectly cooked steak, the sumptuous crab and shrimp enchilada, a seafood stew and a crispy schnitzel with red cabbage reduction. And just when you thought it could not get any better, for dessert we all had some of the house special maple cream layer cake. A tall, blond, buttery cake with silky maple cream frosting. It is a huge slice that was easy to share, but you secretly wanted it all to yourself.

Our first time here for our wedding anniversary! Our server Kelly was the best! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect! We will be back...a lot
