    We scheduled a small family gathering for the holidays. The Three Chimneys Inn turned out to be a great location. The food was great. The staff allows us plenty of time to visit. An added benefit is the Inn as one couple stayed after dinner. Highly recommended!

    Everything was perfect, the restaurant has such a homey old time feel. All the staff was super welcoming and it had been noted on the reservation it was my wifes birthday and they all greeted her with happy birthday and the birthday card on the table was a very nice unexpected touch. The food was beyond fabulous!!!! Loved the fire place smell, and the environment was perfect, alive and folks having conversation but we could very easily have a private conversation at our table. Post dinner walking the Strawberry Bank grounds all lit up for the holidays was an amazing fun bonus.
