Old South Mountain Inn

This restaurant hits the mark with every visit. My first experience was almost a decade prior, and the warmth of that initial impression is still etched in my mind. To include my most recent visit, we were welcomed by joyous employees to a cozy and comfortable dining room. Our server was friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable about the food. By the end of the meal he was less of an employee and had become more of a welcomed addition to our party. In this visit I enjoyed the prime rib, an old fashioned, and a few items from my party's plates. Not to be mistaken with dissatisfaction, my old fashioned was standard. While I enjoyed it, the caliber of the rest of the food put my cocktail to shame. This is my only and surely a minor critique of the evening. As for the food; the star of my plate was the prime rib, cooked to meet my expectations. The sides; mashed potatoes and a veggie medley, were amazing and cooked perfectly delicious in their own space, but never outdoing the main dish. In short the food was near perfect. Every bite was satisfying from start to finish. The food of my company created envy that I didn't have a larger stomach, so that I could order another plate. Some outlying factors caused our night to end early so we missed out on desert. I finished the evening with an empty plate a full stomach, and a very happy heart. The south mountain inn is a wonderful location for special events, joyous occasions.

Rented out for a Christmas party. So not everything is up to the restaurant, a lot is based on what the customer orders. Portions for our dinners was tiny. Great flavors and presentation. Oh, and it was the first time I'd ever had cold apple pie! It was different but not in a bad way. Atmosphere was ok, chair material needs updating/cleaned. Staff was great. I would recommend.
