We enjoyed our first meal at Logan Inn for their Valentine’s Day price fixe dinner. We are recent transplants from Westchester County NY and we felt that the restaurant has a NYC vibe to it. We also enjoyed the jazz trio playing at the bar and will plan to come back for the music. The food and drinks were excellent and we look forward to more dining experiences at the restaurant in the future.
