Wonderful dining experience here. Absolutely top notch food and good service. The swordfish was the best that I have ever had.
Have had great experience staying there over many years, but this time we got a room that left a lot to be desired. Several... things in room 6 in disrepair. About the size of a postage stamp. Rooms 1 and 2 are the best. Have had great experience therepreviously. The restaurant always has great food and service. Read more
For two years in a row I have visited the inn for a few days in May. I chose to stay in a "cottage" room since stairs are... difficult for me and the cottage rooms have only a few steps. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a large windowlooking out on Tred Avon River and the ferry landing (Oxford-Bellevue Ferry.) I enjoyed watching the craft on the river andsunset over the water. I took my meals in the Tavern dining area and thought the food was good and with sufficient variety. Desserts include sticky toffee pudding and Smith Island multi-layered cake. One evening I had the roasted chicken breast withvegetables and thought the sauce was delicious. It even made the brussels sprouts tasty and I usually don't like brusselssprouts. The day I left I stopped in Easton for lunch and realized I had left my opal ring in the cottage. I called the inn,the office manager found my ring and held it in the office until I finished lunch and returned to get it. She refused anyreward. Thanks to all the staff for a very pleasant stay. (A friend who lives near Annapolis joined me for lunch one day. Dining outside on the verandah is also an option.) Read more
We stayed in the cottage which was clean and well appointed. Staff were all most helpful. Bar was relaxing. Breakfast and dinner... service was excellent. Ate each twice. Food was superb! The menu changes seasonally. See my pics. Chef Salter puts a lot of careinto his menu. If we could've, we would've stayed more nights just to get through each item on the dinner menu. Specials on oursecond night were rockfish, short ribs, and PEI moules. Fabulous! Sticky toffy pudding and pavlova (Eaton mess) desserts myhusband declared as authentic. We loved the darkened pub side of the house. Very English. We're looking forward to coming backsoon and hopping on that ferry. Thank you to everyone at Robert Morris Inn. Read more
We ate inside and they seated us in the very dark part of the restaurant when you first enter the restaurant. I would recommend... sitting outside or in the lighter part inside. For the price I think the food was ok, but nothing super special. I got theSpecial of the day and the Halibut was on the dry side but the veggies were cooked well. The chocolate mousse was the best thingI had. For the price I would’ve expected more. Cool location and place though. Read more
The location and building are superb in this historic Oxford building. I got the avocado fries with greens and my spouse got the... 1/2 Reuben sandwich with cream of crab soup. Both of us liked our food a lot. The waitress was great. Here comes why I gave 4,not 5 stars. It was way overpriced and the tables and boothseats were almost what I would expect from a fast food dine-in area.The restaurant also had a musty smell to it, like many historic buildings in the surrounding areas which was not appetizing. Weplan to come back though, to try their desserts! Read more
Check your expectations at the door. This is marketed heavily as being the oldest full service inn in the country, and that is... exactly what you get. If you are looking for modern amenities then save yourself and the staff the trouble and look elsewhere.If you’re looking for an experience—to stay in a building rich with history, that has been excellently preserved while stillmeeting modern hygiene and safety standards then keep reading. From the American perspective this inn is absolutely ancient. Youwill find it very difficult to find buildings in this country that are as old as this one. Keep that in mind as you beginascending the staircase. When you step into your room, remember that you’re stepping back into a different time. As someonewho has worked on old homes since he was 10 years old, I can tell you that building materials will speak to you if you listen.Take the time to appreciate the wide plank floors. They ripple and creek because the foundation has settled into the earth forover 300 years. The wood has been breathing moisture in and out with the climate for centuries. The bricks in the fireplace werehandmade and shipped to the colonies from England as ballasts for newly build ships. The molding thick with countless layers ofpaint to suit every imaginable purpose a house of this size could accommodate over its many years. This house feels the way anold tree or a castle feels, a relic of the past who’s heyday has long since past, still standing against all odds. You’restaying in a living museum so keep that in mind and enjoy it as such. Read more
