Our waiter, Don, was fantastic. He made our annual family pre-Christmas dinner a special night. Wonderful food and lots of laughs. And, you can’t beat the atmosphere for a holiday evening.

We had a wonderful dinner for 7, several of which had never been to the Greenbriar. We were all extremely satisfied with the meal, staff and atmosphere. It was a day to remember.

We got married here 10 years ago and come back here for special occasions. Food and service is always outstanding. If it didn't take an hour to get here from our house we'd probably eat here once a month!

We had a wonderful dinner at Greenbriar; celebrating my wife’s birthday. This was our first visit to Greenbriar after receiving many recommendations from others. The service was excellent and personal. The dishes were of exceptional quality and taste. We really appreciated that most of their ingredients are locally sourced, organic and regeneratively raised/produced. We will be certainly be returning again in the near future. I especially appreciated our waitress, Valerie. She was knowledgeable, fun and professional. The staff also treated my wife to a delicious, complementary cheesecake for her birthday celebration. I highly recommend The Greenbriar Inn for dinner and look forward to visiting again soon.
