    Our Thanksgiving dinner at The Mendenhall Inn was outstanding. Food, service, expertly-made cocktails were great. But our server (we should have written down his name but did not -- he is a charming man originally from Iran), truly made the evening enjoyable. We heartily recommend Mendenhall.

    Everything was perfect. We started with mushroom and snapper soup which were amazing. Our citrus maple salmon and roast duck with plum sauce were wonderful. We shared a huge piece of cheese cake for dessert. The room was beautiful, art work interesting, and each staff member serving us was friendly and efficient. It was a lovely Thanksgiving dinner.

    This was our second year having Thanksgiving at the Mendenhall Inn. Our table had 4 different entrees: turkey dinner, filet, halibut and prime rib. The filet was served med-rare as requested. The prime rib was ordered med-rare but came out more med-well, however our server promptly took it back and returned with a med-rare slice. Everyone enjoyed their meal. One person order Bananas Foster and another ordered Chocolate Meltdown for dessert -both were great. Our server Andy was wonderful, efficient and knowledgeable.

    Ok, I usually LOVE this restaurant for dinner and brunch. My most recent visit for brunch was unimpressive for the following reasons; the bagels were hard as a rock and could kill a bird. Some of the shrimp were mushy. The eggs Benedict were like hard boiled eggs with dried hollandaise and you needed a steak knife to cut through the English muffin. One-third of the tray of chocolate covered strawberries were smashed and put out to serve. Finally the vanilla ice cream that they served with the banana foster was too soft and soupy. Although the birthday guest was appreciative that we took him here for brunch, he too wasn’t impressed. Rather disappointing considering I’ve had many brunches here that have been fantastic! Other than the above mentioned everything else was very good! This has been my go to restaurant when entertaining guests but might have to reconsider?

    So accommodating. The food is good , especially the cheesecake, and they go out of their way to make sure you are pleased. Shackyar was our server , very pleasant. Years ago, my mother who had Parkinson disease, was having a little trouble cutting her food and Andy noticed and cut everything for her. So kind.
