Everything we ordered was wonderful. The must have lobster shooters and lamb were delicious as usual. The whole staff knew it was my daughter’s 22nd birthday and made a point of wishing her a happy birthday. On top of that, our attentive server Paul was calling my mother fun grandma by the end of the meal which she loved! Above and beyond all around.

We had a wonderful dinner at Greenbriar; celebrating my wife’s birthday. This was our first visit to Greenbriar after receiving many recommendations from others. The service was excellent and personal. The dishes were of exceptional quality and taste. We really appreciated that most of their ingredients are locally sourced, organic and regeneratively raised/produced. We will be certainly be returning again in the near future. I especially appreciated our waitress, Valerie. She was knowledgeable, fun and professional. The staff also treated my wife to a delicious, complementary cheesecake for her birthday celebration. I highly recommend The Greenbriar Inn for dinner and look forward to visiting again soon.
