I just completed a secret proposal/ party at the Ardmore, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The venue was perfect for it!! The rouse was that it was a family Christmas dinner, but all our other family and friend's were behind the curtain in the adjoining room. They let us bring instruments and perform to bring her into the other room! After the proposal, the Food and Drinks were absolutely top notch! We had the salmon and steak, both were absolutely fanyastic!!Desert was a cheesecake for me and it was amazing as well! Emily is one of the new owners, right from the start she went above and beyond to help me plan out the evening! She is so friendly and energetic! Her wine taste is exceptional as well, she helped us pick the perfect toast wine! She called and touched base with me regularly and was flexible where needed! I really could not have asked for anything more 10/10 for food, 11/10 for customer service, 10/10 for beautiful Victorian venue/ atmosphere. Very grateful for all the help and the amazing experience!!
Our server, Brad, was not only a great server tonight but he was on the floor by himself, serving the food with perfect timing and keeping our drinks full, with a great attitude and communication throughout the night. We will definitely be back and will be spreading the word about the Ardmore! Thank you!
Incredible from start to finish. Highly recommend the Apricot Dijon Chicken
We came for the Mother’s Day Brunch. The buffet had a nice variety of food choices. I enjoyed all the toppings for the salad. The beef with mushroom gravy was juicy. The service by Brad was outstanding.
I had my daughter's baby shower with a Tea Party theme. It was perfect with every guest stating everything was perfect! The tables were decorated perfectly to a Victorian Tea served at expensive hotels. Emily was very helpful with the food suggestions and making my experience much easier to plan and carry out this wonderful celebration. We started with mimosas, moving to a wonderful salad, cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, two kinds of scones, lemon curd, yummy raspberry jam, gooey cinnamon rolls, all homemade! We also had fruit, then of course tea, we can't forget the tea! The best part of the wonderful event, was every quest stated all was perfect, on their part and even mine! Entertaining is not my forte, but Emily, her staff and the Ardmore made it fun. I highly recommend the Ardmore for any special occasion, or just a dinner for you and your loved one. I certainly will be returning. If I can figure out how to add pictures, I would do that, just to show you how wonderful the room looked.
This restaurant is a gem! From it's storied historic building and beautiful decor to the excellent food and well crafted wine list this place makes your dining special. A perfect venue to host a tea or special occasion, but equally wonderful for a romantic dinner for two. Brad is an attentive and professional server and Chef Emilie is creative and accomplished. We'll be back!
My husband and I were looking for the perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary and decided to try The Ardmore. I’d been curious about it for a while, and I’m so glad we finally went. From the moment we walked in, I could tell we were in for something special. The building is stunning—beautifully preserved to honor its history, yet warm and inviting. Our server was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and spot-on with recommendations for both entrees and wine. Every dish we tried was incredible, and the drinks were just as impressive. A lovely surprise at the end of the evening was the chef personally stopping by our table to check in, which made the experience feel even more special. We had such a wonderful evening and I can’t recommend The Ardmore highly enough!
This was my first time eating at The Ardmore. My husband and I travel often and have eaten plenty of good food. However, this is the place that has it all. Great food that is healthy and doesn’t make you feel overfull or ‘gross’ after eating it. Amazing service, our server was enjoyable, pleased with what he does, and knowledgeable of the menu. The atmosphere had plenty to fill your mind. It was calm and welcoming, beautiful artwork and a historic building. I am very pleased with the whole adventure.
