The Briarwood Inn

Heavy on the meat and potatoes – Pleasant faux lodge setting. Too much food that is too heavy and just OK. No spark of freshness or seasonality. Service friendly and slow, nowhere near gracious.

Really Poor Choice..over priced and not worth it. – My wife and daughter went to Briarwood Inn for Thanksgiving dinner. We all ordered the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The service was poor at best, the dinner (turkey) was dried out and cold. Our waiter was probably one of the worst. The turkey dinner was $58 each and the price was not indicated on the menu, if I would have known I was paying that much for turkey I would have ordered something different. Truly one of the worst ripoff's of all time. Enjoy yourself, my wife... read more

Not so great. – I didn't used to leave any bad reviews, however it seems to me that we should, then perhaps we would stop getting outdated or bad food. I was not at all impressed, these guys not only missed the food revolution, they didn't even know there was one. We were very surprised by the 'oldness' of the place, not only the food but the atmosphere and decor, Briarwood Inn being touted one of the better restaurants in the area. The menu is very old school, '60's style food, kind of heavy and not at all innovative, which... read more

Better Options In The Area – If you are 70 plus years old, this is the place for you. Very dark and outdated, mediocre food and service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

So Impressive! – I have been to the Briarwood a few times, always for special occasions. I am normally not the person to write a lot of reviews, but I feel like I have to write about what an incredible experience we had there! We went just last weekend for an anniversary celebration and had such an amazing evening. The service was not only on point, but extremely gracious and professional. They even gave us complimentary flutes of champagne to keep. I felt like they were welcoming us into their home! The food was to die for,... read more

disappointed – Food was alright (except the spinach salad), service was horrible. Meal was going well until I came across a dirt clod in my salad. Fine, that happens. The disappointment is in how they handled it. Server said he would go get a manager, then disappeard until 20 minutes later when he brought the entree, asked if I wanted another salad. Eventually the hostess showed up and it was all she could do to offer to comp my meal, or do anything besides say "sorry, this happens." Both the server and hostess made a big de... read more

Don't bother making reservation – Once we arrived we checked in at the hostess desk; we were told that reservations were running 10 to 15 minutes late. One hour and 15 minutes later we were sat. The waiting area was OVERCROWDED with frustrated potential customers. I love fine dining; however it is not worth it; the resturaunt is in need of new management. They should have turned some reservations away; rather than misleading customers. I will never go back again. I did however like the chef's food and do disagree with one of... read more

Owners need to renovate to maintain expectations – Seven of us visited the Briarwood for dinner last night. Nice restaurant, but certainly not up to some of the effusive reviews I have read. This is a place badly in need of a head to toe refurbishment. The concept of the restaurant is probably solid: good ambiance, quiet, very well prepared food. The value for the price is not good. The owners need to close down for a month or so to bring the place back up to good condition. The floors need to be refinished, the copious amou... read more

My mother loved it for Valentine's weekend – I have found the service to be very good. I never ran out of coffee. If you know me, that means the service was attentive. I branched out and tried the Eggs Columbia, which was salmon in a pastry shell, topped with a couple of poached eggs. I didn't find the salmon to be top notch... But the key draw for most people I think is the traditional romantic fine dining atmosphere. Some places shouldn't change with the times, and this is one.
