   Had a wonderful weekend staying at the Windham Hill Inn. Chef Neal does a wonderful job to bring delicious, farm to table meals every night along with a very nice wine selection. And they do this with pleasant, professional service. On a sad note, Haycreek hotel management has decided to close this restaurant. After many years of dining here, a AAA four diamond destination, it seems inconceivable this has occurred. If you are a Windham Hill Inn guest, please contact the Inn so they can pass your comments and concerns along to Haycreek.

   Thank you for your wonderful review. OpenTable consumers like yourself are savvy diners. As a bit of clarity, Hay Creek closed the restaurant at the behest of the owner. The simple fact is while guests recognize and enjoy the ambiance, unparalleled service & extraordinary cuisine, we don’t have enough of you. It is not our preference and as you can see our ability to provide a nearly unparalleled experience hasn’t been enough. Thank you for your kind words & patronage over the years.

   We've been here on multiple occasions and the food is always top notch! The service is a little slow so if you're absolutely starving, bake that into your expectations but the food is well worth it!

   We come here every year for my husband’s birthday. The quail is delicious and we’ve not tasted better elsewhere! Thank you for the great service and wonderful food, and keeping the quality always!

   We were so blown away by the attentive service and food quality! Chef Neil’s creations were flavorful and artfully plated. They were happy to accommodate our children (10 & 12) by modifying the pasta appetizer. Don’t forget to save room for the carrot cake and vanilla ice cream! We will definitely be returning! (FYI - The restaurant is in the main inn. There are no signs. Go all the way to the end of the street and the building is in front of you.)

   The food was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was quiet and completely laid back, never felt rushed. Was a perfect dinner where we got to slow down and enjoy the experience.

   Apparently we dined there on a bad night , I think the dining room and kitchen must of been way way under staffed , wasn’t really that busy but they just couldn’t get the food out , We sat at 7:45p and our entrees arrived a little after 10 pm ! Neil was very apologetic but then again nothing ( not even a glass of wine ) was comped , being in the business myself I felt something should of been , to make it worse I paid cash that night , but at check out the next day they charged me again for the meal lol ! So after I believe her name was kathy made a bunch of phone calls we finally straightened out the bill ! Amanda was awesome , and the room was nice Thanks again Chef Fitz

    Drove up to the Speckled Hen on a snowy Friday night, making for a beautiful trip from Dover. Neil, the executive chef and, Lisa, our server, served my wife and me a beautiful meal in a very charming environment. While everything was exceptional, the steak tar tar and crab cake are not to be missed. Neil has mastered these classics and many more! A visit is highly recommended.
