    Food was good, though more toward bar fare than fine dining. Wine selection very limited. Service was friendly and attentive, though somewhat in-experienced. View is very pleasant, though overall ambiance a bit cool.

    We loved everything...the bar was great, our view of the landscape and sky were great from our table. All the wait staff + management were very friendly. Will definitely go back again. The only thing I would suggest is that the wait staff check in a little more often with the patrons. Really a great experience overall!

    Wonderful place. The inside is cozy with big windows overlooking the amazing property. The outside was inviting but too cold. Our meal was very good. My companion had the trout and I had the Irish salmon. Each dish was a melange of flavors that complimented the fresh fish. Wine selection is good with reasonable process. I highly recommend Comus Inn.

    Food was well prepared, rich and tasty. Service was attentive yet not interruptive. Hopefully, the menu will update depending on the season and local availability. Looking forward to another visit.

    Since I live so close I keep hoping that CI will be a great local place to dine. We asked for the quietist area as my in-laws both have hearing issues. Upon arrival the host acknowledged that he saw the request and could only offer a table on the upper floor which sounded great. Once seated I think we were forgotten. It took over 15 minutes to get water. Once we saw our server we ordered cocktails and apps. This also took quite a while and once we tasted our cocktails we returned them as they were horrible. To his credit, the bartender came up and apologized and acknowledged that there were mistakes made. He made new drinks and they didn't charge for the others which was fair. Food was good.

    Everyone from the Manager to the Hostess were wonderful. They checked on us regularly, drinks were always full, the food was delicious and they accommodated my elderly parents extremely well. Great restaurant, beautiful view, and phenomenal staff.

    We like the ambiance of this place as a date night. This was not the first time service was slow for us, from taking our order, to the delivery of food, to picking up the check. Our dinner was tasty. However, we did not care for the fries. I'm guessing it was the fry oil. We will try again, but not soon.
