    Best stop in town before any Colgate game. Does need parking though, as had to spend some time locating a street parking spot. Also, main entrance to the restaurant is not clear.

    We were staying at the Inn and were able not only to eat in the Tavern but visit The Library and both were wonderful experiences. The customer service and personalities of the staff were top notch and helped to make our stay memorable. Food was excellent with the french onion soup a favorite. Our only suggestion would be to extend the hours of the kitchen for food and the hours of both on a Fri/Sat night.

    We went to the Colgate Inn to celebrate my son’s birthday. It was a nice atmosphere with good food. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us for this celebration. We will definitely be going back!

    The service is always very slow. The breakfast is very good but dinner menu is limited.

    Food was good. Service was good. But they seated us at a table which we discovered soon thereafter that the table was rocking back and forth sufficiently that it would spill you drinks, so we asked to be moved to another table. They accommodated us and everything was fine after that. However, they then reset the table, never bothered to shim it up so that it still continued to rock and presumably, then seated someone else there at some point. WTF?

    Always a pleasure to have dinner at the Inn. They have now opened a “speak easy” bar in the Library and we had an enjoyable time with some old fashion drinks.
