Afton House Inn

07/07/2007 Posted by marietta1

Wow! We stayed here and I was totaly suprised by my husband for our anniversary. I've heard great things about the Afton House but was seriously blown away. We stayed in one of the most romantic rooms I've ever been in (Huge Jacuzzi, Fireplace, Quiet, 4-poster bed, tranquille decor). I felt more relaxed than in Maui. We were given a tour and were guided to our room from the very nice and professional welcome/check-in staff and every encouter with the staff was impressive. The biggest suprise though was dinner............WOW! The dining room is romantic and the decor creates a relaxing setting. The food was with out saying nothing less than amazing. Gorgeous plate presentation and unbelievable flavor combinations. Like I said.......blown away. The service also was outstanding and she was extremely well versed with the menu and describing everything from first course to dessert. I was impressed equally with her knowledge of their 150 some bottle wine list and very pleased with her wine recommendations. I was really delighted...............wonderful attention to detail..........perfect service and very friendly. So........ I give this place a 5 star rating and would without question tell you to go there and experience the Afton House for yourself. Oh, one last thing, it's about 30 minutes from our house in Up Town, but I seriously felt like I was 1000 miles away. Can't say enough. First Class, 5 star experience that we will do again!

Pros: Relaxing, Date Spot, Food, Rooms, Service, Romantic

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner in the restaurant, with very attentive service. The first course of scallops qualifies as THE best appetizer I have ever had, anywhere. The inn lodgings were as depicted on the website, with two caveats: the "St.Croix view" from the balconies of rooms 28-31 is across two parking lots and a marina; and the rooms were unexpectedly noisy--TV, conversations, and jacuzzi jets were all quite audible in the next room, rather detracting from the "just us" ambience we might have expected. 5 Stars for the food, 3 for the lodging.

I can't remember a better night. We stayed in a gorgeous room with a jacuzzi and balcony but it wasn't just the room that made our stay.....It was everything - The staff, the entire building, the quaint town, an absolutely unbelievable dinner and brunch! Literally everything led me to compliment this place as by far the best time we have had in years. Thank you!

Pros: Rooms, Staff, Service, Dinner, Brunch

Thanks for a great weekend! We planned to go skiing but didn't do much of anything other than jump in the tub in our room and open some vino. Just what we needed though really. Our room was awesome and we just chilled in our huge tub by the fireplace and spent some "quality time." The Bar was good too (Awesome Steak and cool appetizers). My wife liked the whole romance thing with the roses on the bed and we both enjoyed the couples massage next door. Cool coffee shop too! Thanks again. We enjoyed the omelets, champagne and huge spread at brunch and hope to visit the nicer restaurant too next time. Worth every penny or was it a Ben Franklin......can't remember but it was worth every bit!

Pros: Jacuzzi, Fireplace, Amazing all the way around

For over 25 years I have enjoyed the WONDERFUL food and GREAT service at The Afton House Inn and Catfish Saloon. We always have a NICE time, and feel like the family when we are their. Carrie and Katie always make us feel welcome whether we are in the Catfish or the Wheel Room. Their smiles always make you feel at home. Try it out you will LOVE it and alway come back for more! Thanks Stewart and Kathleen

Just what the doctor ordered. My wife and I get away from the hustle and bustle without the kids a few times a year. We stay at nice places but this was the best. Room #8 is awesome with a huge Jacuzzi and an amazing king size bed. The room was immaculate and set the tone for a great weekend. Dinner and the Sunday Brunch were equally impressive. Thank you to the wonderful staff that gave us a "tour" and showed us to the room (very professional and welcoming). Thank you also for arranging a taylored romance package and helping with all my special requests..........Afton House staff was great!!! This was a nice winter get away and we already made reservations to come back and visit in the summer and take a cruise on the dinner boat. Thanks again Afton House!!!

Pros: Best Get Away in Years!!

Recently my husband and I visited the Afton House for a wonderful dinner. The evening began when we walked in the wheel room to an atmosphere filled with warmth and comfort. We sat at a quiet, romantic table for two. We enjoyed a wonderfully cooked meal and desert to top off the night. The service was absolutely divine from beginning to end. The staff is quite an undescribable addition to this incredible establishment. I can not wait to enjoy another meal at this fabulous restaurant, I can't believe I didn't know about this inn sooner.

Pros: Incredible Experience

I liked the room my wife and I stayed in. Clean. Nice. I didn't like the food. The staff was crabby!!!!! Only one smiled. Managemaent seems poor. Swearing, grumblinga mong staff. Trashy. I do have to agree with these other reviews, Dan the Bartender/Waiter was really good..... I would skip this place because the food stinks! But it's worth the trip if you want someone who will take care of your drinks. Fast. Good. Go when Daniel (I think) is working!!!!

Cons: management!!!!!!
