I was afraid when I booked at the Red Lion that the dining room would be formal, I need not have worried, While there are white tablecloths and candles, the dress code is casual, perhaps a little more business casual but you certainly can be dressed with your regular clothes.
We had two meals at the Red Lion, dinner and breakfast. I had checked the menu ahead of time and knew that I wanted to eat in the dining room to take advantage of the roasts. They offer prime rib and turkey. The perfect combination for Al and me. We had reservations for 6 p.m. and arrived at the correct time. We were given a table along the wall and had our water and bread quickly. We ordered the meals and within 15 minutes our full plates were in front of us. I have never seen an entree served that quickly. It might be that we didn't order appetizers that resulted in the quick service but it was still impressive.
Al's prime rib was cooked perfectly and served with mashed potatoes, a pop over the size of his head and green beans. My turkey was Thanksgiving on a plate. The food was excellent, well prepared and delicious. Honestly, we were almost too full for dessert but it was our 50th-anniversary rehearsal dinner so we decided to be brave and go for dessert.
I ordered a coconut pannacotta and a cappuccino and Al got the apple pie. I can say with confidence that neither of us was disappointed.
We came down to breakfast after 9 a.m and were given a table by the window. It was actually very nice to be able to enjoy the outdoor view.
I had two fried eggs over medium, this was the only disappointment I had with the dining experience here. As you can see in the picture, one of my eggs had a hard yoke. I always find it disappointing when a chef sends this out to a customer, did they expect I wouldn't notice? Well, I did notice!! The homefries are unique and quite delicious and I loved my toast.
Al's omelet was quite perfect.
Our waitress was new, you could tell but she was very friendly and gave us good service.
