The food and the service were exceptional. The outdoor ambiance tonight on a beautiful August evening was well worth the visit.

Old Angler's last Saturday proved to be a phenomenal dining experience. Raim, our exceptional waiter, provided impeccable service and anticipated our every need, including espresso at the end of the meal. He was a joy to chat with as well! The scallops and rack of lamb were culinary delights, and we truly enjoyed the cappuccino cake dessert. The historic ambiance adds to the magic, and where we were sat next to the outdoor fountain felt very special and relaxing. You can see why tables were filled with regulars on the weekend night we visited!

Such a charming restaurant, exuding quaint appeal. The outdoor ambiance just oozes with charm. The setting and everything about it is lovely. However, the food falls short. We ordered Salmon, Steak, and Blackened Grouper, alongside Calamari and Bread Pudding. My Blackened Grouper turned out to be fried, which was disappointing as it wasn't mentioned on the menu. The other dishes were mediocre and bland, and overall, the prices felt unjustifiably high. This place could be fun if you come here for drinks and some basic appetizers maybe.

This is one of our go to restaurants when we have family visit or want to go out for a nice meal. The food and service are always great. The place is pleasant and cozy as long as you're not expecting a more modern decor. This is an old building and looks like a well maintained old building and for us, that's a good thing. We've always been more attracted to wood and antiques than soulless modern design. In the winter the outdoor seating is mostly near a huge fire pit. I'm the summer it's a fountain.
TL:DR great restaurant with cozy old fashioned decor that never disappoints in service or food.

Great for the atmosphere! Food is good but expensive - still worth it thought to go after a trip to the bully goat trail!

Criminally overpriced. Average food. Subpar service.

We got seated in a very sunny corner of this mostly outdoor establishment and the umbrella barely covered our table. It wasn't busy at all yet they chose this table for us and didn't help us move the umbrella lol.

They asked how I wanted my burger and I said rare. It came out looking completely well.

A lot of the other dishes were hit and miss where some are enjoyable and others are disappointing and questionably made.

Service was abysmal and it's like amateur hour over here. I've gotten better service from fast food restaurants.

Food: 4/10

Disappointing Experience After a Long Wait.

After eagerly anticipating our visit to Old Anglers Inn for three months, our experience fell far short of expectations, leaving us deeply disappointed.

**Service:**
From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the service at Old Anglers Inn was lacking. Despite a mishap with a broken bowl during our meal, neither our server nor the manager made any effort to address the issue or offer an apology. Their lack of attentiveness was particularly frustrating, especially considering the special occasion we had been eagerly awaiting.

**Food Quality:**
Although I was unable to fully enjoy my French onion soup due to the unfortunate incident with the broken bowl, I can attest to the fact that the food quality was satisfactory and enjoyed my Chicken Piccata. However, the overall dining experience was marred by the poor service we received.

**Atmosphere:**
The ambiance of Old Anglers Inn was pleasant enough, but unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the disappointment of the subpar service we encountered.

**Value for Money:**
Given the lackluster service and the abbreviated nature of our meal, it's difficult to justify the cost of dining at Old Angeles Inn While the food may be of decent quality, the overall experience did not live up to the price tag.

**Suggestions for Improvement:**
I would strongly urge Old Anglers Inn to prioritize training their staff in customer service and attentiveness and not to judge customers by apperance since I had $10k in cash on me at the moment. Additionally, addressing mishaps such as broken dishes promptly and offering sincere apologies can go a long way in mitigating the impact of such incidents on the overall dining experience.

In conclusion, our long-awaited visit to Old Anglers Inn was a disappointment. I sincerely hope that they take steps to improve their service standards so that future guests do not have to endure a similarly unsatisfactory experience.
