Our server was wonderful - very attentive and pleasant. Even brought us a miniature sample of “melon soup” to try, which was delicious.

Dear Michael and Gertie Person, We would like to take the time to express our appreciation for our father’s retirement dinner experience at the Ship Inn. We chose to hold our special event at your restaurant for the fine dining experience, great service, and spectacular food. This is why we were not surprised that your restaurant held up its wonderful reputation yet again for our family and our guests. The Rose Room was private and met our needs. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about the service. Each individual entrée was delicious. Your servers (Carrie & Evelyn) also assisted our guests with elegance and speed as they took care of everyone’s needs. Due to this outstanding presentation and service, we will continue to dine at the Ship Inn for special occasions and continue to recommend your restaurant to our family and friends. We are definitely glad we decided to hold our celebration at the Ship Inn and are hoping that you will stay in the area for many more years to come! A hug from us to all of you! With much gratitude, The Wyatt-Westbrook Family

It’s a shame bc the place is beautiful. Lots of history and was well maintained. The drinks at the bar and kindness overall from the staff is good. The food - HORRIBLE. Lobster bisque soup. - not a drop of lobster for $15. Prime rib and fillet was ordered. Horrible. Cold. They heated it up but was rubbery when we got it back as it may have been microwaved.

swordfish served over a can of chickpeas and topped with some awful olive concoction. Who eats this stuff? No bread or rolls. They should offer selection of vegetables but don't. Flounder serving was way too small. We won't be back!

A delightful surprise. The last time I dined here the experience was not very good. Friends encouraged us to give it another try. Glad we did. Our server, Dennis was attentive without being annoying. The food was good.
