    Old city house inn & restaurant is a favorite of ours and we always enjoy our time there. We took friends who have never been. This time it was extremely noises and difficult to hear each other. Hence to lower rating on the ambience. As usual the food is always good

    This restaurant never disappoints. Went for an anniversary dinner . They gave us a lovely table. Service was excellent. The escargot and shrimp cocktail were a fabulous start. The rack of lamb and osso bucco delicious. We had a perfect ending with the cherry cheesecake and thoughtful Happy Anniversary written on our plate!

    The main complaint: It was my wife's birthday and at the end of the meal the server said to her, Would you like a birthday desert? She said ok, assuming it was complimentary like many other restaurants do. When I got the bill there was a charge of 12.50 for the desert. When I inquired I got this confusing explanation. SO, mistake number one was that I should have asked if there was a charge, even though the invitation sounded complimentary. Even so, the server should have been transparent and said there would be a charge; otherwise, it would appear that the omission was for a reason. A real let down to the meal. Always ask the price at a restaurant, even for a beer where the charge is rarely on the menu.
