Since welcoming its first guests in 1773, The Red Lion Inn has earned a reputation for outstanding food and genuine country hospitality. Those traditions are continued today by Executive Chef Jon Sterrett, whose kitchen features contemporary cuisine that is rooted in the region's history and harvests. Emphasizing the use of fresh, local ingredients and a huge proponent of buying locally and sustaining the region, Chef Sterrett regularly updates the Inn's menus to reflect the bounty of each season. Guests choose from the elegant Main Dining Room and the cozy Widow Bingham's Tavern. The wine list offers 500 plus selections, and has received the Wine Spectator best of Award of Excellence for ten consecutive years; Sommelier Tim Eustis helps pair wines with meals. If you would like to dine in the Tavern, please choose Bar when making your reservation.

    Food was terrible. Salmon was dry. Ordered the autumn fall bowl. There was 2 little slices of apple and maybe 2 cubes of butternut squash. Rest was full of lettuce and quinoa. Fish and chips. Too much batter and overcooked. We asked to substitute the fries for coleslaw. It looked like it had been sitting out for days. Went to the tavern ordered an Irish coffee, they gave us coffee with whipped cream. No spoon and no liquor was added! Our server Louis was quite nice. He was overwhelmed with two big tables and us. Other servers were filling spoons and salt and pepper shakers. You’d think they might have helped him. Needless to say, it was quite disappointing.

    We had cod with the most fabulous potato pavé - so crispy and delicious. The staff were dealing with big crowds on Christmas Eve and were unfailingly polite, professional, and friendly. We loved it!

    Everything was excellent especially the food and the waiter's attention. But they were short staffed for the crowd. So that made the service slow. But the water was very accommodating and did his best to compensate.

    We ate in the bar area which has the same menu as the dining room for lunch. It was super busy but I loved the coziness of the bar. TJ e food was delicious and the service was great.

    Food was just ok. While Turkey sandwich was plentiful and good tasting, something other than potato chips could be offered. My husband had the salmon. It was served over cauliflower puree. You had to lift the salmon to see the tiny portion of puree. On his plate was a handful of spinach. Just spinach. Like it was just thrown on the plate. No dressing, no cheese, no other salad toppings. I was very disappointed.

    Menu ootions were “more current” and less traditional New England hearty fare offered. All of the dishes were well executed and delicious. Wait staff was friendly and service was great. Front house welcome was less than enthusiastic and underwhelming. Surprising for the Red Lion Inn. Overall a great meal.
