    Fabulous I have been coming here for 2 years when in town. Steaks are exceptional. All food is great. At least what what I have had. This coming from a true carnivor.

    Excellent food and a fun experience! We recently attended a murder mystery event here and had a fantastic time. The salmon I ordered was delicious—perfectly cooked and flavorful. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great food, friendly service, and an evening full of entertainment and fun. Highly recommend!

    In search of a mid point for all traveling for my daughter's Mad Hatter Baby Shower Tea Party, I discovered the Watson Inn. Unlike getting lost down the rabbit hole, everything was stress free from planning to the day of the event. Pamela helped to make sure all our requests were understood and then Christine on the day of the shower executed it all flawlessly. The croissant sandwiches and the salads so tasty.

    Been here a few times now. Decent food at a fair price. Never disappointed with service or quality of food. Continue to return.

    The place felt so homey! I went there last week and the host I believe his name was Conner? He was so sweet and was the nicest boy i’ve ever met. My waiter was very quick,attentive, and made sure our meals came out right every time! I love the environment and the food, the bruschetta is to die for!
