The food, as usual, was abundant and outstanding and a great selection. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, the staff couldn't have been more gracious, attentive and helpful. Everything was absolutely perfect! I was on the fence if we should go, as the price went up significantly, but we don't treat ourselves to fine dining very often & wanted to go out and enjoy! It was a holiday, so higher prices are necessary for staff who gave up their holiday to serve us and they did so in an outstanding way. I love holidays at Deerfields & appreciate their making our holiday dinner a great experience all the way!

Went on a Thursday night and the place was completely empty. Our server was very nice and made sure that we had everything we needed. Coming into an empty restaurant hours after they opened was a surprise but the biggest surprise was when we got our food. It was absolutely incredible. The quality and presentation was perfect. No idea why this place was dead because it is definitely worth checking out.

Very fun historic inn, food was excellent, service great and ambience outstanding. Had a party come in with three children just after us, who were a bit noisy at times but generally exceedingly well behaved. Enjoyed the harvest salad and salmon sandwich. Highly recommend - either at the end of a hike of the beautiful local trails or specifically to dine. Great outdoor seating if the weather is cooperative.

I’ve been here twice now. They have a vegan menu so that’s an automatic plus for me. The food is so so good. Everything from the decor to the food to the staff is wonderful. I can’t wait to go back a third time.

The food was outstanding. Had the queso fundido and quesabirria tacos. Bartender was great. Made me a special request cocktail which was tasty. Not crazy about the TVs being on. There were plenty of extra charges and taxes. Not sure if that’s a Philly thing. They added 18% gratuity on two person check and I usually give 20% but didn’t feel inclined to after having it automatically added.
