    The Candlewyck Inn - French onion soup

    Stopped here for their Valentines Day dinner. It was a train wreck from the start…read more We had reservations for their Valentine's Day menu meal. Reservations for 7. We got their at 7. and they had to "clean off some tables." That woman disappeared for ten minutes, then sat a group in front of us. I had about had it but but my lip and we were sat. Then we had three waitresses wait on us and struggle with our drink order before we got our final waitress who was a nice younger girl. That was about the nicest part of the outing. My crown and diet was watered down by the time it got to me. Yikes. I ordered a French onion soup to start. It looked good with the bread and melted cheese - but it was basically just cooked onions with no broth at all. Yikes again. For my meal I got the New York strip with peppercorn sauce and baked potato with veg. Well... the steak WAS NOT a strip steak - it was more like a ribeye. It wasn't cooked medium as I asked - it was a medium rare then rare then purple finish. The broccoli I received must have previously been located next to power lines - bc the vegetation on the stalks were trimmed off, and the peppercorn sauce was more like yogurt and flavorless with pepper sprinkled on top. Oh and the baked potato? It was a HALF that was plated in a way to seem like that was by design. Yikes. I'm usually able to suck it up, but if I'm paying $80 you have to bat at least 2/4. They went 0/4 and the bay never got off their shoulders. Won't be back. Sorry.

    The service was extremely slow, took over two hours for 4 adults to dine. Crab Au Gratin appetizer…read morewas just a half of a bagel cut up with melted cheese on it, we were unable to find crab. For $12 , 6 small pieces of bagel was a disappointment. Bloody Mary's were very good and flavorful. My steak that was ordered medium was tough and small. The group agreed that overall the wait time from beginning to end was way too long and the food was mediocre at best. We were served a free glass of champagne by characters from a play at a local theatre. It was confusing for customers that didn't know what was happening.

    When I was a child , 1957 to 1965, I lived next door to the Chat & Chew just down the bank in…read moreMcCoole. We were poor Appalachian family of ten children. The Chat & Chew workers gave me many a free meal. I'll always respect the for that.

    This place is a sold three and a half stars but I'll give it four because the half isn't an option…read more I'll be honest and say that we were not expecting much and in a way that is what we got. It obviously is catered to an older crowd, which is fine, and other places do that way worse. We walked in and were greeted by a very cheesy Elvis statue. So that set the tone as we half giggled and cringed. The wait staff was very friendly and allowed us to choose where we wanted to sit. The table and light fixtures seemed clean enough but the floor has definitely seen better days. We were handed a menu that was much smaller than I expected and I was very happy for that. We ordered our food and in less than ten minutes we had it. The food was served nice and warm-hot. We immediately felt that it is a comfort food. The taste was fine but improved after we added salt and pepper (most places that cater to elderly tend to not season their food a lot) and we were more than pleased with the meal. The serving size was spot on for us and the price was more than reasonable. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did and as a result will definitely go again next time I'm in the area and feeling hungry.
