   We enjoyed our 1st visit to the General Stanton. Nice menu selections in historic setting Wonderful to read history of the place. We had several parties near us that were enjoying themselves,but it was hard to hear each other. Overall we were happy with service,food and the historic setting. We will recommend ane return.

   My boyfriend and I enjoyed a 10/10 meal on Valentine’s Day. Our server was amazing, the host was very accommodating and kind, and the food was awesome. We left raving about how good everything was and how cool the history of the building is. I appreciate the whole staff for making it a memorable meal for two people that rarely treat ourselves to a meal of that caliber!

   Quite disappointed with our $200.00 Valentine meal. We were put in the very back of the restaurant that was an addition. It felt like from the start we were forgotten being way back there. All the activity of this restaurant is up front around the bar area. For our meals we started with appetizers. The appetizers were disgusting. The Lobster Bisque was described on the menu as creamy with hand picked lobster. The bisque was more of a thin liquid brown sauce that was overly salty and had one quarter size piece of lobster in it. No cream, no sherry. It was horrible! The clams on the clams casino (6) were smaller than cherry stones. They were lamely served and spread out on strips of red lettuce that was wilted. No lemon for garnish. Entree of Steak Frites was ok. The steak cooked well, but the sauce on the steak was bland - A-1 would have been a better choice and the frites were cold. Entree of the Prime Rib itself was good. The draw back on this dish was the mashed potatoes were served cold as was the broccoli. For dessert we shared the red velvet cake. It was not fresh and literally crumbled when trying to put a fork into it. Water glasses were not re-filled either. One and done on this place.

   I’m just being 100 honest - we ordered the beef Wellington which we have in the past and it was excellent in the past. This time mine was overcooked, well done on the edges and medium at best in the middle (should be med rare) and it was terribly under seasoned as well. I kept having to add salt and pepper to give it flavor. The pastry was also under done and soggy on the bottom. The cut of meat was also not your typical filet cut, it was a bit tough. I feel for $55 each, it should be done to perfection no matter what day it is. Our waitress was excellent and the place over all was very nice. We will go back but will probably try something other than the beef.

    Everything was excellent. Our first time having prime rib there. It was amazing! Everything was enjoyable - the ambiance, the service, & the food. I highly recommend it.
