Food was amazing. We ate Tremont's Stuffed Chicken with smoked gouda cheese stuffed chicken breast wrapped with proscuitto finished with a sherry butter sauce, Bone-In Braised Lamb Shank Braised in red wine, garlic and rosemary, fork tender domestic lamb since 1999, and Freshwater Canadian Walleye Amandine Delicious mild and moist fish sauteed to golden color, a local favorite. All were super tasty and cooked to perfection. read more

I'll go back again - one of the top restaurants in Marshalltown. The walleye almadine was delicious.

The Cap Anson sandwich is my favorite, I stated to eat cucumbers on all my sandwichs since I first ate one. Service is quick and food was brought out fast,especially if you are on a lunch break. Small quaint style seating. read more

Met friends here for a Saturday night supper. Waiter was excellent. Owner friendly. It wasn't very busy & we were all spread out, which was nice. One bartender & our waiter wore masks. Our appetizers were great: pork egg rolls & a delicious sauce, baked Brie, & stuffed mushrooms. Mmmm... The salads were a nice portion & flavorful house dressing. My swordfish, a special, was nice sized & tasty. The mashed potatoes were good; the veggies were a bit soggy. Hubby's special, a surf & turf, was a 12 oz. ribeye & two shrimp. Same sides. Steaks cooked as requested. Drinks were reasonably priced. Nice supper club atmosphere. If you have a special event or want a quiet, nice dinner, this is your spot! read more

The Tremont - Swordfish special. - New American Near Me - Marshalltown, Iowa

This is a lovely restaurant in downtown Marshalltown. It is connected to the Tremont Inn but has its own entrance off of Main Street. When you walk in you will immediately feel the comfortable and warm ambiance. Low lighting and background music make it feel cozy and inviting. The menu is varied and has delicious entrees. Top it off with a slice of cheesecake and you will feel very satisfied. We live about an hour or so from Marshalltown but gladly make the drive to enjoy this wonderful restaurant and the friendly service. read more

I was there on New Year's Eve, with a couple of friends. It was nearly closing time, but the staff was friendly, the service was phenomenal, and our dinners were tops. The folks in this restaurant, from the servers to the chefs. are at the top of my their game. Ànd they're all "Iowa Nice". read more

And once again, no disappointment here... I had the island burger This time and wow, it melts in your mouth.. fresh tomatoes in January, yep that's how they do it here! A must stop in Marshalltown! read more

The Tremont - Tremont Burger.... Sorry, ate most of it before I took the picture! - New American Near Me - Marshalltown, Iowa

We went there as a recommendation and because it seemed like a really nice looking restaurant, low lighting nice tables and steak. Since we were in the Midwest we figured it to be a good choice for a nice upscale dinner. Well... the service was okay at best. The steak was the worst! And we were paying top dollar for Marshalltown. We all ordered NY Strip cooked medium. Mine was medium well, the worst part was that it was maybe 1 inch thick and full of fat and loaded with grizzle. Not at all what we expected. It was extremely disappointing! Everyone knows a true well made NY Strip steak should be 2 inches thick and little to no grizzle. The steaks were 40 percent grizzle. I can say they had good flavor but that's it. The ambiance was not really as nice once you took a look around. Certainly not nice enough for a restaurant charging $40-$50 for steak. read more

The Tremont (TT) sounds to be a popular restaurant among a group of people in the town, and it may look good if I ignore my other experiences (even in this state). Otherwise, TT looks like a premium payment experience for a regular food and a very regular service. Instead of going to TT, I may recommend an 80-100 miles drive (round trip) to a restaurant in a nearby town. If difficult, maybe better to just stay home. I think this is the restaurant of a hotel. Supposedly these hotel-based restaurants are known for their high quality, highly fresh food (small portions are always expected at hotels and should not be an issue when you go to TT) as well as service in return of a premium payment. My experiences say that only that payment is the case here. The food quality was extremely regular at TT. There was a bar. I could see that those waitresses spent "extra" time at bar (talking to people that probably they knew from past). Maybe, by intention or not, they forgot/ignored other (unknown) customers eating dinner on the tables. I understand that it feels good to talk to people (that they know), but they should be aware that "tip" is not a given, it depends on the quality of their service. ... To keep it short and clear, for several times I asked myself to pay tip or not (I did pay, but could easily refuse). read more

Great service! Excellent food! I had the John Denver omelet and a latte. Then got the same items to go for my girlfriend. Definitely recommend the place. read more

This is the "fanciest" and most upscale restaurant in Marshalltown!! Ambience is great, old world charm with a very nice bar area. I had the porkchop, as I was told there 20 million pigs in Iowa and only 3 million people, so they did pigs right! Excellent choice, flavor was great, perfectly cooked and a nice size. Can't comment on the other dishes as everyone in our party (5) had the porkchop. Wine prices are unbelievable low. We had a couple of bottles of Bella Glos Las Alturas for $62.00; I pay $50 for it a total wine!!! Service was excellent; very attentive, knew the menu, and super friendly. When in Marshalltown, this is the place!! read more

I'm a loyal Hilton Honors member when I travel for business, except for when I stay in Marshalltown. I've stayed here three times and look forward to returning each time. The Tremont Inn is a beautiful and lovingly restored Inn located downtown. They also own the coffee/breakfast café and The Tremont restaurant. The owner, JP & Jennifer, are visible and will go out of your way to make sure you have everything you need. Their hospitality is unmatched. Each time I've eaten dinner at The Tremont, I've been pleasantly surprised by the offerings. Service here is always excellent too. For a small town like Marshalltown, they always exceed my expectations. I was surprised on this recent visit that they had a delicious French rose wine - a summer favorite. The café offers gluten-free toast, if requested. The rooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable. We all know that feeling of not being able to sleep in an unfamiliar place. This wasn't the case on my most recent trip. I slept like a hibernating bear in that bed. The kitchenette, off the hallway, is stocked with beverages and snacks. Robes are provided for making the short trek down the hall in the morning to make a cup or two of coffee or grabbing a yogurt. I really appreciate this amenity since I often work in the room upon waking and need my caffeine. One of the things I love about The Tremont Inn is that I can check-in and "check-out" of responsibility for awhile. I will always stay here when I'm in town. read more

We had an excellent meal - 4 of us ordered 5 meals to try specials - get the Lamb shank. Cocktails were special as John made us dry Manhattans - wine was priced right. Dessert was excellent. Leah our server was professional and prompt. Thank you Tremont, we will be back read more

I've been here several times. Probably the nicest restaurant in town, decor-wise. But, careful on the menu. I highly recommend calling in advance to make sure they have plenty of food in stock. On a recent visit, they were out of an appetizer, several entrees...and mashed potatoes. And the place was not that busy. I asked them: why not just drive to Hy-Vee and restock? In any case, the food is decent usually. Just make sure that they have enough food to be open for business. read more

The Tremont was a delicious surprise. The bone on pork chop was prepared perfectly. I am sure this is the best restaurant in Marshalltown Iowa. I also enjoyed a properly mixed martini delivered to my table by the bartender. The service was excellent, thank you Kendra! My only negative was the vegetables were over cooked. I would definitely stop here anytime I'm within 100 miles. Try this amazing restaurant and be prepared to be impressed. read more

I've had dinner a couple times over a couple years, and the service & food are exceptional. This last visit I started with a lobster bisque, very smooth and balanced flavor, a nice start to a meal. Provided with the meal is artisan bread, flavorful and serve with olive oil, balsamic vinegar & cracked pepper. The main dish was a special that night...a small portion of baked(?) fresh (never frozen) wild caught salmon that just melted in my mouth like whipped butter...it was heaven. Paired with that were two jumbo scallops seared and topped with a light sirracha berry Demi glaze plus a light house pilaf and lightly steamed fresh vegetables (pea pods, asparagus, mushroom) that retained the perfect crunch. Dessert was a salted caramel cake that provided a nice light end to the meal along with a splendid shot of espresso. I will continue to patronize them whenever I'm in town. read more

We have stayed at the Tremont for the last two years. It is on the second floor of a century old building and in its prior life was offices for a law firm. It is a rare find. The rooms are large and furnished in plush excess. JP and Jen own and operate and are attentive to your needs. It has two restaurants on the street level with a bar. It would be perfect except for one thing. It has no elevator. If steps do not bother you STAY THERE. read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Marshalltown. If you're looking for excellent menu options prepared by a professional, well-trained staff, look no further. It's so refreshing to have a waitstaff that is knowledgeable about the food & drink menu, everyone was so friendly, the owner seems to stop by every table to say thank you & chat for a bit. read more

Wonderful service. Excellent food. Small but classy wine list. Elegant atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for such quality.

We ordered some appetizers and salads to eat over at The Fiddle and Whistle. The flatbread was lovely with the perfect amount of rosemary and the grapes are a lovely addition. The Brie was nicely heated, some rosemary would have been fabulous to flavor the Brie. Our two dinner salads (the apple and walnut) were nice and fresh, but quite small. We expected dinner sized salads, but as they were cheaper than the appetizers, perhaps they are meant to be side salads. Dinner salads and more vegetarian and ideally vegan options would be great additions. read more

Excellent restaurant and "hotel" combination. As some others commented, the food is excellent, particularly the dinner fare, and the rooms are very nicely appointed. I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and chose not to this time. A mistake I will not repeat next time I'm in town. read more

The food, the atmosphere, the owners and the staff are top-notch and make you feel like royalty. They are pricey but it's worth the occasional indulgence. read more

I was in town for work and my team decided to go out for a nice meal. We went to the Tremont on Main. I ordered a filet with mashed potatoes and vegetable, the house salad, lobster bisque, and pork egg rolls for an appetizer. The app was really good. Lobster bisque had good flavor, but the consensus from the table was that it was not hot enough when it came out. I thought it tasted more like crab than lobster for some reason. The vegetable was 2 pieces of asparagus on top of some mushy mixed veggies... not amazing but not bad. My filet confused me. I ordered it medium rare. It came out in 2 pieces, not butterflied but cut in half. I'm not sure why that was done when I ordered it med rare. it was very juicy and tasted fine, but it was not med rare. I would call it med-well or well done. there was no pink. Like I said, it was still very tender which confused me- maybe they tenderized it a lot? Either way, it was confusing. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal here. Best place in Marshalltown for a nice dinner. read more

Hotel is upstairs of the restaurant. Actually checked in at the bar. It is a boutique hotel. Clean, large rooms with comfortable beds. However gives you feel of bed and breakfast or staying at grandma house, because you can hear everything going on in hotel. read more

Tremont on Main is fabulous! We stopped in, almost at closing time, and they could not have been any more welcoming. The server explained their evening specials, got our drinks, answered our questions, gave us the right amount of time to peruse the menu- all in a professional, friendly manner. The owner or manager stopped by and chatted for a few minutes. They made substitutions for my gluten free diet with no problem. Then the food arrived and it was excellent! We had a cold apple soup, baked Brie cheese with crustini and apple slices and their Combo Del Mar (mussels, shrimp, and scallops). It was such a delight to find a restaurant of this fine caliber in Marshalltown. I will be sure to tell my friends it is certainly worth a drive! read more

I've been staying here on and off for the past 2 years when I'm in town for business. This is one of those rare places that you will occasionally find during your travels. The Tremont is a small B&B type of motel that is housed in an early 1900's era building. Every room is exceptionally clean and spacious with most of the rooms overlooking Main Street. The owners JP and Jennifer are extremely accommodating and have always made me feel very welcome. read more

My husband and I visited family, and were delighted to find out about the Tremont Inn! Our 2nd floor spacious room, with high ceilings and windows overlooking historic Main Street, was somehow still cozy with our overstuffed chair, antique desk and complementary robes. Our decorative king bed, was comfy with luxury pillows. The hardwood hall, lined with original paintings led us to a butlers pantry and breakfast nook bathed in sunshine overlooking a rooftop garden. A well stocked fridge with beverages, beer, and the rest, and a historic safe stocked with books was a treat. We met family for breakfast downstairs at the Tremont Grill. Sunny, wide open, with a extensive tasty breakfast menu and specialty coffee's. The next night we had panko almond crusted Walleye next door at the Tremont restaurant. Wow! This weekend was certainly an unforgettable wonderful unexpected treat! We are looking forward to a repeat coming back from Virginia next summer! read more

Been there a couple of times when work has brought me to Marshalltown, never been a bad meal. The apple smack turkey sandwich is a great lunch. Last time my wife had cream of asparagus soup, I had a meatball sub. Never turn down the sweet potato fries! read more

We stopped in for lunch when on a business trip to Marshalltown. It was about 11:15 in the morning and only one other table had people there. By noon, the place was packed!! We were glad we got there early! They have a huge menu for lunch and a daily special. I got a grilled chicken salad which was yummy. The greens were so crisp and fresh. My coworker got a burger and fries which she said was very good! I think there was 6-7 different kinds of burgers. The server was prompt and helpful. A very pleasant lunch experience! read more

This hotel is unassuming, we came in from Denver and had no idea what to expect. Large rooms, free Wifi, private bathrooms, a common area kitchen, and a very friendly inn keeper makes this a four star yelp review in my book. read more

I thought the food was crazy expensive I didn't really feel that the amount of food I got was sufficient and the ruins were okay however is just really expensive and I wasn't happy with the prices. read more

We love The Tremont. The food is always excellent and the service is as good as the food. Nice atmosphere and located in a small town in central Iowa where you would never expect to find a high end, white tablecloth restaurant with such wonderful food. You will think you are in a large metro city because of the beautiful restaurant and great food. My wife and I make a point to eat here several times a year. read more

Tremont on Main is a fabulous establishment! Boutique hotel with a very European feel, sophisticated bar/dining room for evening meals, and homey coffee shop/diner for breakfast and lunch. It is immaculate and the food is excellent! It is also secure and comfortable for a single female traveler. I highly recommended it! read more

This place is an incredible find. I spent a week at the Tremont while working on a presidential campaign during the depths of an Iowa winter. As a former Iowan who has lived in DC for 20 years, I was delighted to find such a modern inn with the best restaurant in town. I highly recommend the hotel, restaurant and cafe. read more

Visiting from out of town. Somebody recommended Tremont. Severely disappointed with food. Ordered mushrooms with cream cheese for appetizer, completely bland. I ordered steak medium well and it was more medium rare. It was covered with some sweet sauce which totally destroyed the taste. Dessert was even worse, it was some caramel cheesecake and was clearly bought from somewhere and frozen. I even chewed on some paper still attached to it. The only good thing was that the server was nice and friendly, but for this substandard food I was 60 bucks lighter when I left. read more

I stayed in the hotel for 12 days and never saw another living soul, however the bed was very comfortable and the room was large and tastefully decorated. The main downside was that I had a do not disturb sign on my door which was repeatedly ignored and staff were no where to be found when you needed them. read more
