Food service and atmosphere five star! Best overall dining experience have had in a while. Top quality ingredients, presentation, and wait staff. Would definitely be back and plan to return for the food!!

It has been several months since I last dined here and the food quality and service has improved tremendously. The quality of food was immensely better since the new chef came on board. The trout was perfectly cooked and prepared with a nice side sauce. The salads were flavorful and bright. The Brussels sprouts were savory and well balanced. The plating was a little spare. I think the visuals of the plates could boost the overall experience. The service was kind and attentive.

We made a 7:45 reservation but when we arrived we were told it would be a 10 minute wait so we should get a drink at the bar, which we did. 30 minutes later, we still were not seated so I asked the hostess for a status update. I was told the table would be just a few minutes longer (the diners were finishing desert). Another 17/18 minutes went by and we were finally seated. Then, it was another 7 or 8 minutes before anybody took out order. So, all in, we waited an hour before being able to order our food. We were not provided any apology, or offered a complimentary drink, or dessert. To keep people waiting an hour is absolutely unacceptable, but it's very poor form to not acknowledge this wait with some type of complimentary drink as a means of ensuring valued customers want to return to your establishment.

There were 4 of us and all felt the same . We had 3 hamburgers that were not good. The french fries were like eating plastic.Not executable for $32. Chicken was better. We keep hoping the Tap Room were more like the old days. The last 2 chefs are not of the way it should be. Love the idea of a nice place to go on a sunday evening but will not go back and we and our friends went weekly for years.

Wonderful restaurant. It was my wife's birthday and they gave us 2 complimentary glasses of sparkling wine and also put a candle in her desert without even requesting as well.

New chef doing great things. Definitely improved from previous chefs. Service is excellent as well. We encountered some old favorite servers from Arethusa al tavolo and they brought their impeccable A-game service.

We stopped in at the end of our Gilmore Girls Day in New Milford and Washington Depot. The staff at the door welcomed us in and showed us around. We stopped in at the bar and met Jordan, the amazing bartender. She was so friendly and took a genuine interest in getting to know us. I enjoyed the Mayflower Spritz cocktail that she suggested based on my preferences. I would love to come back and spend a few nights here.

Have been here a number of times and it is very good, but not as good as it should be for the prices. The dining room is beautiful. We had a wonderful lunch and then walked around the gardens. I have also had dinner in the bar area - it is cozy and dark, better for winter evenings. The spa, called The Well was a highlight for me. It is really special and has everything you could ask for in a full service spa - fitness classes, pool, spa treatments, tons of amenities and a full spa dining menu. I have made a full day out of the spa and it was one of the best I have experienced.

Service was very good however my entree left a lot to be desired. It was the GRANDE 'GARDEN + SEA' AIOLI and it was anything but grande. It was two overcooked shrimp over different lettuces and baby vegetables and a very bland aioli. Really, two shrimp?

The food is very good. Timing is also great. Cocktails are very good. Too bad that the service was not so great. Our server was good however was in the weeds. Too many tables for one person. The service needs some consistency.

Did not care for our waiter. Overly solicitous. But then he disappeared at the very end of the meal, so another server had to take our cards, etc.... Also, we didn't care for the room we were in. Would have much preferred the main room near the bar. We will request that in the future.

Our 8pm reservation on the Tap room was not honored although we arrived only 5 mins. late. We agreed to sit in main dining room with tap menu, but ambiance was not what we were looking for. Bench seat was very uncomfortable and banquet seats were very low. After complaining, we were moved into Tap room.

We came for an Anniversary dinner. We arrived early to tour the grounds which were wonderful, meticulously maintained. Overall, the staff were helpful and accommodating. They offered us complementary Champaign (which was very good). Service was uneven. Our drinks were sitting at the bar 10 minutes before they were finally brought to our table. We ordered ravioli and a cheeseburger. Both arrived 35+ minutes later and both were inedible. Neither of us could finish our plate. The bill was over $100. Portions were good, but again the food was inedible. We will return to the Mayflower bar for drinks (and for the ambiance), but will never get food here again.
