4.5 stars. Century Inn, formerly called Hill's Tavern, opened in 1794 and has hosted famous historical figures such as U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and James K. Polk as well as other national and foreign leaders. Since 1945 the inn has been owned by the Harrington family. Unfortunately, in 2015 a fire gutted the interior of the inn, but in the next 2.5 years, a team of architects and specialist builders rebuilt the inn. The Inn contains seven guest rooms, each of which has a private bathroom and gas fireplace and includes breakfast. Rates vary by room but are roughly a couple hundred dollars per night. My husband and I did not stay in a room here, but we did eat dinner here. I had to make the reservation via a phone call. Perhaps the restaurant could start online reservations or do phone-call reminders. Please note that meals currently include dinner on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and brunch on Sundays. When my husband and I arrived at the inn, we parked our vehicle in a small parking lot across the street. The time was 7:30 PM in the winter, so the exterior of the inn looked dark but still beautiful. In the entrance a seating hostess kindly greeted us and seated us at a table in the garden room. The inn contained some other nicely decorated dining rooms, which I later explored. The inn looked so historically accurate that I would never have guessed that a fire had occurred. I appreciated seeing the original stones on some walls, a fireplace, and the floor, which had been worn low after hundreds of years of thousands of people walking on it. I felt very interested in seeing the interior design, oil paintings, and Christmas decor. I rate the setting as 5 stars. I also rate the service as 5 stars. Our waitress promptly served us and spoke nicely with us. The menu had sections for Beginning (Cheese and Charcuterie, Duck Confit, Giardiniera, and Escargot), In Between (Century Inn Greens, Spinach Salad, Peanut Soup, and Daily Soup), and Main (Fettuccini, Crabcakes, Pork Tenderloin, Coulette Steak, and Airline Chicken Breast). Another customer had to ask the waitress if foods were gluten-free, so I recommend that the restaurant add that nutritional information to the menu. Separate menus listed desserts, beers, wines, and scotches. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate: Cheese & Charcuterie - 4.5 stars - This starter platter contained two meats, two cheeses, blueberries, strawberries, raisins, and warm bread. Peanut Soup - 4.5 stars - I ordered a cup rather than a bowl, and it was still a good size. I rarely eat peanut soup, but I enjoyed its flavors. Spinach Salad - 4.5 stars - This salad contained spinach, dried cranberries, walnuts, feta, and champagne vinaigrette. Crab cakes - 5 stars - Three small-medium crab cakes were very meaty and tasted delicious. The sides were asparagus and spicy red-pepper couscous. Airline Chicken Breast - 3 stars - My husband ate this entree of chicken with Chardonnay-leek sauce, and I tasted one bite of it. He described it as "plain," and I agree that it needed more flavor. Its sides were sour zucchini and a delicious wild rice. We skipped desserts and drinks. The total price was $101 plus tax and tip. (For our main courses, our receipt says different prices than does the online menu. The restaurant should fix that discrepancy.) read more

The Century Inn is a gem. Great service, food, and preservation of such a unique and fascinating historical site. Can't wait to go again!!!

Our stay at the Historic Century Inn was nothing short of enchanting, Steeped in history and charm, this inn carries tales of esteemed guests like President George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, adding an undeniable allure to its ambiance. Walking through the corridors, one couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the centuries of stories woven into its walls. The prospect of encountering spirits said to wander its halls added an intriguing layer to our stay, as the inn is renowned as one of the most haunted places in the Pittsburgh region. However, despite our eagerness to experience the supernatural, our nights passed without any spectral encounters. Yet, this did little to dampen our enthusiasm for the inn. The warmth of its hospitality, the comfort of its rooms, and the exquisite dining experiences ensured that our time at the Historic Century Inn was unforgettable. While we may not have glimpsed the apparitions of bygone guests, the echoes of their presence and the rich tapestry of history woven into every corner of the inn made our stay an experience to cherish. We departed with memories that will linger long after our visit, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to return and perhaps uncover more of its intriguing secrets. We were greeted by a young nice lady who took us to our room and provided us a key for entry and exit of our room. It's unlike any stay that I was used to. I'm typically use to providing payment immediately, but not here, you settle your bill after breakfast. We quickly settled into your room. Started to take photos and I opened a new bottle of spiced whiskey from Liberty Pole Spirits is the only way to get started. We quickly navigated to do a tour of the inn and ended up at the tavern downstairs, having drinks and making friends with the bartender and guests that were at the bar. We had great conversations from wine to stories of haunted tails. Our dinner was served in a backroom which had a fireplace that I could easily fit in and knowing how big of a man I am height wise, it's impressive. The food was absolutely incredible. I would come here just to have dinner. The steak was probably the best steak that I may have ever experienced. Food and drinks were incredible. Followed with an incredible breakfast in the morning and finally meeting the inn keeper and owner Megan. She's incredibly sweet and nice as described. I can't wait to come back and stay again. read more

Grandparent's used to live in the area and on a recent vacation trip back from the West Coast they raved about how good Century Inn is so we just had to come! We made reservations one day in advance and when we came for dinner we were quickly seated in a cozy room towards the back of the building with a large fireplace. The decorations in the room were a fun Halloween theme too which added to the ambiance. Menu is seasonal with only 5-6 entrees to pick from which actually made it easier to pick in my opinion. I got the steak dinner which came with caramelized onions, potatoes and green beans. The meal was really tasty and I wish there had just been more of it! read more

Century Inn - Steak dinner - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania

Spent the day driving from Pittsburgh to Johnstown to Shanksville and then to Scenery Hill with my husband and his grandparents. His grandparents spent many years living in Pittsburgh and were back to visit and told us how much they loved stopping into century inn whenever they were in the area. They insisted on taking us there and we had a good time! The ambiance was really quite amazing with period decor and art. We were seated in the room with the fireplace at a larger table with two other guests at smaller tables in the same room. They brought us an antique high chair for our baby as well. So fun! I got the fettuccine with shrimp and sausage and my husband got the steak. Both were quite good with a lot of flavor. Portions were reasonable, but my husband had much less food than I did. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure the food was over $70 good. If I'm going to spend that much on a meal it had better knock my socks off, and while it was delicious it wasn't amazing. Had our baby been up for it, we would have ordered dessert, it looked amazing, but he was ready to go home. Service was wonderful and professional! We had a great time in a historic place! read more

We went on Opening Day 2021 - the opening for the season and after a temporary COVID-19 closure. Menu is small but each each item is well presented and delicious. We started with a charcuterie platter and enjoyed the crusty bread. Pasta dish was flavorful and packed with meat and veggies. Lamb Osso dish was tender and flavorful. We loved the parsnips! The pear baklava for dessert was perfect. I would come just for that and a coffee! This is a beautiful space with a wonderful history and the food does not disappoint! read more

When they were young, my grandparents would take my mom and her siblings to the Century Inn for very special occasions. There was a fire at the Inn, but they reopened early this year. I never experienced dinner here pre-fire, but the space was refurbished beautifully, as if nothing had happened. My aunt and uncle were in town for the holidays, so we decided to make a reservation at Century Inn to kickstart our festivities a few days before Christmas. We made the drive from Pittsburgh to Scenery Hill in just about an hour. We were going to sit at the bar for a drink, but it was completely empty, so we just opted for our table. We started with some cocktails and wine and perused the menu. The salmon and the lamb made up the majority of our orders. The salmon was a sizable piece, and the lamb was phenomenal. We closed out dinner with some desserts - ice cream, creme brûlée, and the fried bread pudding. After dinner, we took a little tour of the rest of the dining areas and the guest rooms. The rooms upstairs were so charming! I would love to stay another time. We had a really nice dinner in this historic Inn; the service was great, the space was charming, all at a perfect spot for a holiday celebration. read more

They are back and you would never know that this place once suffered from a fire. The official opening date was 2-21-18. Reservations only are being accepted for lunch and dinner for the time being. This will change soon. Century Inn at Scenery Hill offers a vast array of indoor and outdoor dining rooms as well as a tavern. In each room you can smell the wood burning fireplaces and gives it a homey feel. I had made a lunch reservation and was warmly greeted by the staff. I sat down in a dining room facing the rear windows. I felt like I had walked into Colonial times. The menu is just how I remembered it. A must is their renown peanut soup which comes in two sizes. I choose the small and it came in a miniature soup tureen bowl. It was so good! Instead of choosing an entree since the soup was filling I opted for their spinach, pistachio, and quail egg salad. I ordered chicken as a topping. Believe me this salad did not disappoint. They use the finest ingredients and even the bone of the chicken was attached. My waitress told me they use premium farm raised chicken. It was moist and oh so tender! I really wasn't going to spring for dessert but changed my mind when I saw that chocolate pudding with a chocolate covered strawberry. The dessert wasn't too big but it was so rich!!! It made up for everything else. After I had finished my meal I was told I was welcome to "tour" the facility and ask any questions. I got to see all of the upstairs bedrooms which are named for famous historical people who once stayed there. I was amazed when I saw the old fashioned stove in one of the rooms and loved the adorable rocking crib and quilted pattern in another. Each room is unique in its own way. They can be used for overnight stays. Contact the Inn for more details regarding pricing. Lunch entrees normally come with potatoes and fresh fruit which today happened to be strawberries. WiFi is available. Please ask for pass code. I learned the main dining room is called the Music room. The artwork is superb in all the rooms. If you want to come for a special occasion or just for a meal the Century Inn is certainly worth going out of your way for. read more

It's been a while since we ate here. The Century Inn has just been remodeled beautifully after the fire. The atmosphere is absolutely charming. Perfect place for special occasions. They also have a lunch menu. Had the cider mule to drink and it tasted like fall. Delicious! My husband had the lamb and I had the hen. Everything was incredible! Others at our table had salmon, pappardale, and the filet. Everyone was satisfied and overall prices were reasonable. read more

My wife and I stayed there for our 30th anniversary and had a wonderful dinner, fun at the bar, and if you stay the night they include a nice breakfast. A new brewery just opened down the street, within a short walk. The place is a real gem. read more

A beautiful spot for a fancy dinner occasion. Lovely Christmas decorations but not overpowering. You can literally feel the history here. Bar kind of small but cozy with the fireplace.The waitress was pleasant. The food was good not amazing. It was a bit expensive. I wanted the shrimp but didn't want to pay $32 for pasta. We had the spinach salad and it tasted delicious. $8 .My filet was cooked perfectly but it didn't wow me. $36. My husband really liked his salmon. My filet was decently sized but I counted 4 little potatoes and literally 4 green beans. Bread was tasteless. Thin and bland. Creme brûlée was served in a 2 oz ramekin and was $7. It was good. All in all a nice place to go for a special occasion but way too pricey to go more than once or twice a year. I think you pay for the ambiance and that made it worth it. read more

One of the best dining experiences ever. We lived in Brownsville, PA, and would make it a point to dine once a month at The Century Inn! My favorite was a soup they made that had slices of medium rare, thinly sliced duck breast, under a small nest of spaghetti squash, and I believe it was either pumpkin or sweet potato soup that surrounded it. A drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar adorned the top. The steak was always fantastic and our favorite waitress came to know us and would have the perfect martini waiting for us. Love the Century Inn and definitely will visit again when we are visiting the Pittsburgh area. Wish there was a restaurant like that in Chattanooga! read more

Absolutely fantastic dinner last night. I had the lamb chops, which were perfectly done and my husband had the salmon which was delicious. Great service and lovely bar area. read more

We indeed did have a "Great" time at the Century Inn. Last week we stayed for three nights and dined twice. The highlight was a birthday dinner for 12 on Saturday put together by the Harrington family, (Megan, Chip and April) plus Lauren and Leta in the supporting cast. "Put together" means planning, creating artful decorations (including Megan's lovely floral arrangements), Chip preparing and April coordinating and serving a very tasty and satisfying three course meal from the menu. Additionally, they sought out and provided a heavenly tasting angle food cake that was requested for the honored guest. Our widely travelled and experienced gang of 12 is a disparate group by age and background and experience. However we are unanimous in our praise for the Century Inn team's genuine hospitality, creativity, the high quality food, the service (attention to detail) and the very well appointed and comfortable accommodations. Great job, Century Inn team. Very well done !!! Emil L. read more

I have been to several weddings at the Century Inn, and the facilities and staff are awesome. There is a beautiful garden behind the Inn that is ideal for a ceremony or reception. The Inn itself is a wonderfully historic building dating to 1794. The food is excellent in the dining room and the cozy bar is charming. Worth the trip! read more

Century Inn - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania

The Century Inn is an elegant and dignified restaurant and bed and breakfast right outside of Washington, PA. The old stone house mixes class with tradition and provides for a unique dining experience. The staff is attentive and incredibly friendly, their warm hospitality is a perfect blend of poise, respectability, and reliableness. The inn boasts a beautiful bar, along with a tasteful menu of small plates and large dinners. Their peanut soup is delicious and is a staple! The scallops and grits and the scallop and bacon pappardelle pasta are terrific. The refined decor feels like you're stepping back into a 19th century castle. The Century Inn gives a polished opulence to the quaint village of Scenery Hill. It should be a must try for everyone passing through the region! read more

I love the atmosphere, the service, the menu..the Food is so good, you can blindly order a meal..you will LOVE it. The real treasure is the friendly staff. When you put these views together, the Inn is 5 star all the way. read more

This is the perfect place to get away from the city for an evening dinner, or maybe even a relaxing overnight stay. The building is charming and the rooms are nicely furnished, generously sized, and quiet. Really couldn't ask for much more. The restaurant is equally impressive. A smaller menu, but with some excellent dishes (I recently has the walleye with popcorn salsa). Reasonable priced wine, food allergy friendly, generous portions, and engaging service complete the experience. The breakfast is also a treat. I won't spoil it with details, but you won't be disappointed. read more

What a pleasant surprise... Went on a Wednesday night. From greeting through departure the place was fabulous. Complete bar and wine list. Professional server who knew her stuff. Food was exceptional. If for some reason you are in the neighborhood, it's a must! read more

The food at the Century Inn is absolutely fantastic. The menu manages to be inspired and progressive without disrespecting the Inn's 200+ year history. They source a lot of products very locally ("we get all of that from across the street," I was told in reference to several dishes) and are continually making menu decisions that genuinely demonstrate a thoughtful and self-aware approach to food culture in a way that really isn't being done as well by anyone within a fairly wide radius. Is it arguably bizarre that I'll drive an hour to have lunch at the Inn without a second thought? Yeah. Is it worth it? Every time. Also of particularly impressive note is the Inn's beer and liquor selections, it is obvious that whoever chooses and purchases the drinks for this restaurant makes it a priority to go above and beyond the usual choices and make some thoughtfully chosen products available. There are a number of beers and whiskeys that I tried for the first time while at the Century Inn, as they seem to really keep their ear to the ground regarding what is new and interesting. It's worth noting that the Century Inn kitchen can handle many requests and dietary restrictions, just ask. I have had several purely vegetarian meals there over the past few years, and to be honest, their vegetarian meals are arguably better than most of the meals I've had in strictly vegetarian restaurants. The wait staff is excellent, and I cannot say nice enough things about their service and attention. I have never had a negative experience with Inn staff, and I don't expect to anytime soon. The rooms at the Inn, both in the main building and at the second building across the street, are gorgeous. They are very thoughtfully furnished in a way that suggests no expense was spared. I am admittedly a bit of a hotel snob, and I have been genuinely impressed by the furnishings and fixtures in the rooms, most notably the (recently remodeled, I believe) Andrew Jackson suite, which features an amazing bed, a noticeable attention to detail in painting, trim, and decoration, and an almost absurdly well furnished bathroom. I come out this way about two or three times per year, and while it is notably less fun to walk around the property in the snow (at least in my opinion,) the Inn's grounds and gardens are also a treat in themselves and worth exploring in the non-winter months. The enormous gazebo in the backyard makes for a great wedding venue, (and yes, I have been to at least one wedding there,) and food / drink events back there are not worth missing. read more

Had lunch here on a chilly and wet Good Friday. So glad they are back up and operating post 2015 devastating fire. Over the years we had come here for dinner 5 or 6 times (Century Inn is over an hours drive from home). Had the crisp spinach and beet salad with pickled quail egg and pistachios drizzled with a subtly flavorful warm honey vinaigrette dressing. Following tried the fried cod sandwich which was tastefully presented on a large split, perfectly toasted baguette and with a superb home made french pickle mayo and wonderfully crispy pan fried/sautéed smashed fingerling potatoes. It even had had fruit on the same plate...Whilst it appears to be a regular lunch time menu offering, it put a nice upscale slant on a lentern dish and was arguably healthier and better value than most church/Firehall offerings of the season. Was an extremely tasty sandwich. We were seated in the beautiful large conservatory style back room and as it was a quiet lunchtime, our server was extremely attentive and the chef came out and chatted with us and all the other patrons. What more can you ask for?....tasty fare, friendly, attentive staff and great ambiance! Historic Century Inn...glad you are back..so will we be! read more

Spent New Year's Eve dining and celebrating at The Century Inn. Multi course dinner was exceptional from start to finish. Well coordinated dishes served in a timely fashion by a friendly, well prepared wait staff. Love that they integrate farm to table into the menu too! The bar is my favorite place......so much history and a great wine/beer/cocktail selection. This place is a true treasure owned by a wonderful family. Kudos to the Harrington's for keeping the tradition of welcoming guests to their establishment with the warmest hospitality! Happy New Year! read more

We just had our daughter's wedding at the Century Inn this past weekend. I cannot say enough about this place---April was wonderful to work with in all the planning. The Music Room was a perfect place for our wedding party of 16. The food was outstanding and everyone loved it! We stayed in four of the rooms and they are so uniquely furnished. Breakfast the next morning was really a special treat. I highly recommend the Century Inn and guarantee you will not be disappointed!! Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful weekend---we will all be back! read more

I would put their food on par with Nemacolin Woodlands. Despite growing up in the area, I've never been here. I brought my parents in for Mother's Day lunch. We had a three course meal with soup/salad and an entree. I had the salmon which was very flaky and almost buttery. They had very attendant waitstaff who were really professional. If you're into history or architecture this is a unique place. read more

We just had our wedding at the Century Inn. Our day was absolutely perfect; we could not have imagined anything better Everything went very smoothly from the moment we met with April and began to plan our day a year ago. She helped us plan our wedding every step of the way. Not only did she help organize our event at the Inn, but she also advised us about vendors in the area. She was incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with. The food was excellent, and we are still receiving compliments on it. Everyone at the Inn treated us so well and made our experience very personal. The place is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect venue for us. None of our guests wanted to leave. Also, for a wedding venue, the price was incredibly affordable. We highly recommend the Century Inn for weddings. read more

Had dinner there a little over a week ago and I am still thinking of it! This restaurant has easily climbed to the top of my favorite places to dine in the Pittsburgh area. The food was incredible and the ambiance was beyond romantic! You can tell the employees love what they do. I would highly recommend taking a drive and dining at the Century Inn. read more

I and a few friends stopped in while travelling by Pittsburgh. We went with the chef's tasting menu and were blown away. Each portion of the 7 course meal could have been an exceptional stand alone meal in any of the restaurants we frequent in the DC area. The surprizing thing was the food was better than anything we had encountered in recent memory. Now we make a point of stopping anytime we are around the area and have even stopped a few times with the Inn being our destination! read more
