Landmark Restaurant At Old Rittenhouse Inn

Wife and I were camping nearby and I owed her a nice meal out. Booked a table at the Rittenhouse, not sure what to expect. Initially, wasn't impressed with the menu, but our server (Jack) provided details that encouraged us. We each had great meals. I want to call out the fish chowder - absolutely the best!!! Kudos to Chef Carlos. The $38 bottle of French Bordeaux was an amazingly good deal too. We left, very satisfied with the experience.

My wife and I were traveling up north the weekend of thanksgiving and we did their thanksgiving dinner. It was even better than expect. We ordered as much different stuff as we could and were beyond impressed. Our server Marie(?) was fun and attentive. Highly recommend.

We made a reservation only after confirming by phone that the restaurant could accommodate dietary restrictions (vegetarian + gluten free). The reassurance we received over the phone - and the advertisement of “vegetarian options available” and “We’re happy to accommodate special dietary needs with advance notice.” - were in stark contrast to the actual dining experience we had. The menu had NO vegetarian entrees. One of the vegetarians in our group ordered the pasta - modified to come without the shrimp. Our server, who seemed frustrated with my dietary restrictions, reluctantly checked with the chef and the only vegetarian + gluten free option they came back with was to order the seared ahi tuna without the ahi tuna (no joke) - which meant that I had a dinner of rice and vegetables.

This was another great experience. Great found, ambience and service. Will go back!! The Rittenhouse is a must eat at renovated mansion. Get reservations well ahead if time. They are that good! 👍

We had our first dinner inside a restaurant since COVID hit. So good! Excellent service! Great safety practices. We had mussels, roast duck and a seafood fettuccini.
