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.

The Greenbriar is a treasure. We had the Halibut and the Veal Medallions and both were excellent. Finished off with a Creme Brulé. Wonderful as always and great ambiance.
Greenbriar Inn, TheResponded on December 4, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to let us know! I agree, I love the halibut and the Creme Brule is second to none. Hope to see you in again soon!
