My wife and I went for a Sunday drive and had absolutely no intention of going out to dinner…read morehowever we were looking for a good patio. Auntie Yelp and within a few miles we found the Westfield inn in Troy township Ohio I've never been to either. Apparently it used to be an inn a long long time ago but it ceased being that and currently has clambakes in the fall and looks like the place next door is part of it and also has a wedding venue. It has a nice front porch that was decorated for the season moms and pumpkins and corn stalks and whatnot so it was pretty festive. We got there earlier about 5:00 which is pretty early for us for dinner but lucky for us the place wasn't that busy there was quite a few people inside but not many people sat outside because the honey bees tend to buzz a little close for some people's comfort. I don't mind them at all as long as you don't squat at them everything is good. Our server was the bartender who came outside his name was Alex and he was an absolute peach. He started us off after we got our drinks with dinner rolls and two cinnamon rolls which was an odd pairing for a pre-dinner snack but it was delicious. I ended up getting some tomato bisque soup which I'm an absolute sucker for and it was fan freaking tastic. A+++ Definitely it's comfort food season and this menu supported that. Now normally I make pot roast but I'm not very good at it and my pot roast is normally fatty but this pot roast came out absolutely fell apart on my fork. The carrots were perfect and the mashed potatoes was not lumpy my perfect consistency I told my wife if you want to learn how to make pot roast come cook here. She got the beef and mushroom pot pie now I'm a big fan of pot pie but I do not like mushrooms but she managed to absolutely inhale that and she gave it two thumbs up. We had an ample time for a nice little chat our server Alex was on the spot wasn't too present but wasn't gone too long for us to not notice. Service was also A+. We live in lake county and don't get down to Troy township at all but now I have an absolute reason and excuse to get down there and I will be bringing friends. What a fantastic meal what a lovely place and I can't wait for my next visit.

Mistake on our part, not fresh, salty, lots of fillers and lacked a contrast of flavor. When something fried with lots of batter/breading, maybe some acid or sweetness will balance it off? I got the short rib sandwich. The pretzel buns were so soggy from the short rib and tomatillo salsa. Maybe serve the tomatillo on the side? Tasted good, just a mess to eat! Finally the place seemed like it lacked a refresh. From the menu, painting to the furniture. It just didn't feel "clean". Overall we'll stick to lunches when needed, but this may even change that for us too.

We both ordered burgers. They were absolutely delicious! And the fries were on point also. If you are in a hurry or need takeout, I would suggest calling ahead. I sensed the kitchen may have been a little short on staff but the cooking is all heart. We would definitely try this spot again. A solid 3.75 stars

I wish there was more consistency with the food :/ I love the watermelon goat cheese salad but…read moreevery time we've been it's prepared differently. It's supposed to have a balsamic drizzle ... tonight it was in a weird white salad dressing and the goat cheese was "melted " into the salad due to the excess dressing. The Mac and cheese side we had when we first ate here was creamy and cheesy and wonderful. Tonight it was noodles and cheese .. it wasn't creamy ...disappointing. Most of the food is good just inconsistent. The size of the sides also varies each time we've been here. Server was great but she appeared to be the only one on the floor on a fairly busy Friday night. We waited over an hour to get our food..which didn't all come out together. One guest waited quite a while after the rest of us received our entrees to get his. It's rather crude to start eating until everyone has their entree so by the time he got his most of our food wasn't super warm. I feel like if this restaurant is going to succeed some changes need to be made, mainly coming out of the kitchen.

Under the salmon in the salad, yummy!

They have a taco Tuesday thing but it's not a discount it's 3 tacos and you can mix and match from what they make. Which is not really a special in my opinion. The place has a nice patio and inside can fit an about 10 tables of various sizes. And the bar has seating. Cute place. I see it can get crowded on a Friday night or Saturday night. We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big! She also got the chips. Again chips were ok just a bit oily tasting and need salt. The dining area is loud. Lots of people in close proximity talking. It's hard to hear and sound is bouncing. That was a bit of a bummer to try and talk over all the noise. Server was good very attentive and helped with suggestions. Bill for 3 sandwiches, including a burger, a water, coke and cider with green beans appetizer was $81. Not including tip.

Love the wood floors and high ceilings. The panels really helped keep noise down when it became full.
