    A lovely place to bring family for quiet day of beauty and conversation. The buffet was okay, not the quality and value I had anticipated. The ambience was wonderful. THe staff were friendly and helpful. Quality of food not the level that I had experienced before at Graylyn.

    The fried green tomatoes were outstanding. The included gratuity DOES NOT go to the waiter but to the hotel.

    The onsite restaurant boasts a wide selection from salads, sandwiches to full entrees for lunch options. Expect fine food for a reasonable cost in an upscale environment. Service was timely and cordial. It was a pleasure to dine and tour the estate.

    We had another exceptional experience at Graylyn. What a gem! The food was delicious. We enjoyed a cup of coffee after dinner in the library to top off the evening.

    Unfortunately I don't have much to say about our experience at the Graylyn Restaurant that is complimentary. I will start off with commenting that our waitstaff, including the bread/water waiter was perfectly fine. They were polite and attentive so no problems there. The food -- and drinks -- however, were abysmal. I won't go into all the details of just how bad the food was but feel compelled to let the restaurant know that this meal was absolutely not normal. Raw dough being passed off as "dumplings," everyday white rice being passed off as "risotto." Butternut squash uncooked. A salad that was supposed to feature fried artichokes with not one single artichoke. A cocktail with "sunset" in the title that was supposed to contain grenadine and oj coming completely clear and with a sprig of thyme. The manager did comp all of the meals as they were inedible so that was appreciated and certainly the right thing to do so I don't fault his service. But something absolutely *must* be done about the chef and food. The Graylyn Inn/Hotel is beautiful. Top notch rooms and service with a lovely vibe but this restaurant gives it a bad name.

    The service was very good. The tomato bisque was excellent but a bowl is like getting a cup of soup - very small. The entree - scallops with butternut risotto - was not good. The risotto was mushy rice and the flavor was bland and it was lukewarm. Dessert was good. Did not appreciate a surprise surcharge of 22% and was told it was to help pay wages of $15/hr for all staff and was not a tip so we felt compelled to add another 20% for a tip, making the total extra charge 42%. We felt this was over the top especially given the lack of quality food.

    When you're paying premium prices, you expect top-notch quality. My filet mignonettes were supposed to be medium rare but arrived well done. That said, the flavor was fantastic—if they'd been cooked right, they would've been exceptional. The ravioli I ordered was good, and my wife’s salmon was cooked perfectly. However, the sides were disappointing—the three thin slivers of carrots were undercooked and felt like a joke. Portion sizes overall left a lot to be desired. For the price, the experience fell short of expectations.
