One of the worst dining experiences of our lives. Came here to try a local place and we were wanting to like this place. My wife is gluten-free. Not as a faddish thing; she gets genuinely sick for days after ingesting gluten in very small amounts. After 3 separate conversations with the server and also with a host who checked on us, we were assured her dish would be made without gluten. The server was actually pretty flippant about making sure - should have been our warning sign. It wasnt gluten free of course. Large piece of bread soaking in the sauce under the scallops. We ended up leaving without eating anymore. First time in my life Ive had to leave a restaurant like that. But that was just the icing on the cake. The whole experience was probably 2 stars anyway. My martini wasnt dirty as I ordered. The extra brine for it took 10 minutes to deliver. A soda had an overly carbonated taste at first, and the replacement drink came in a chipped glass. The shrimp cocktail appetizer costing $10 was 5 shrimp about the size of an index finger each. And the service was very slow and she seemed very uninterested in helping us. Felt like we were bothering her. Ive been a server, and I have extreme compassion for the hard work being a server is. But she was not into working for whatever reason. And the whole gluten thing... the server should be in the kitchen checking and double checking that her tables are getting exactly what they order - especially when she is told that someone at the table absolutely unable to have an ingredient. Pains me to leave this review, because I dont like to tear places down. But this was warranted unfortunately. We ended up at Chilis and had a good dinner with much more attentiveness - and at least as high of quality of food for a fraction of the price.

The Thorndale Inn is a very special place for us. My wife and I became engaged there, and had our wedding reception there. Our most recent visit was to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The atmosphere and excellent service has not changed. As an appetizer, my wife had the Clams Casino and I had the Seafood Sampler. Both were outstanding. The salads were just OK and had way too much dressing. For the main entree, my wife had the Surf & Turf and I had the Crab Cakes. They were good but did not reflect the price. Overall, we had a great experience.

A true hidden jewel! Great service, friendly patrons, and a choice for a dinning room or a relaxing large bar area. Stop by and enjoy! You wont regret it!
