I was expecting a lot from our visit to the Inn after having read so many good things, but I had to say I was mostly disappointed. - Price of a 3* - here no doubt, you are in a 3* :). When you know that you need to come from DC (1h30 train + 40min overpriced taxi) and that you pay your meal in advance (1000$ for 2), yes you arrive with some expectations :) - Service of a 2* - Service is great and heads (sommelier and maitre dhotel) are perfect (nice with the kids, knowledgable, smiling, etc). We also got the little attentions (menu with our names, visit of the kitchen..) For a 3* it could have just been one level higher I guess (the person at the door didnt greet us or hold us the door, we arrived early and noone told us we could have a drink at the bar, chef O'Connell was not here - which is quite rare in a 3* etc.) - Food of a 1* - Here lies the problem for me: the food was not at 3* level / or top100 list or whatever you take as the "best of the best" reference. And it was even quite far. It lacked originality, quality of ingredients and also quantity (the 3 of us were hungry when we left, which is so rare in you take a full menu in any michelin star restaurant..). In this "top of of the top" list you have The Fat Duck, Guy Savoy, Cellar Can Roca, Disfrutar, but also "lesser famous" 3* like lAmbroisie, lArpege, Troisgros, lAuberge de lIll etc. For each of these restaurants, even a few years later, I can tell you what we got and emotions we had - I am sure I wont remember anything in one month about the crab rillette, the tuna tartar, the pepper beef and the cheesecake. It was good yes, but not memorable. I heard words like "touch of originality", "perfection of sauce" etc about chef O'Connell - we got nothing of those :( A simple good nice 1* meal (and I know 1* that are better than the Inn - more original, more quality ingredients and more food) - the very last ones we went with went with my boyz in Roma (lAroma 1*), in London (Clove Club 2*) or in Blois (Fleur de Loire 2*) were all 3 better than the Inn on all criteria. Anyway the place is nice and beautiful, my kids had a great time no hard feelings here - but I am sure you can do much much better chef O'Connell!
