Old Barn Inn - Saint Albans

$50 per person is a bit high for Brunch like that. No hot tea.

Unfortunately, I think they really missed the sign for Mother's Day Brunch. We arrived at 10 a.m. for our reservation and they didn't let us in because they were not ready. It was about 45 degrees outside and rainy. So we waited 5-10 minutes and they let us go in. It was very cold inside (so cold that my daughters turned nose red and we were all uncomfortable in long trousers, long sleeves and coats). I notice that the weather was not pleasant, but it was predicted to be cold and rainy well in advance, so I would think they would have provided heating or some kind of warmth. My mimosa was served in a regular juice glass and I'm unsafe, there was a champagne in it. In any case, it does not have the “rock candy swirl stick” as described on the menu. So I paid $10 for juice. The food was terrible. Not seasoned and cold. The “primary nativity” was cut as if it were roast beef. Shades of meat. No salt. I am appalled that guests are well allowed to use the buffet as we are still good in a global pandemic. Some of the younger servers seemed to be confused and ran all the ways, almost crashed into me every time I went to the buffet. I'll say our server was very friendly. At about $50 per person I expected a lot better. I was completely disappointed, frozen and hungry.

Food was excellent as the service!!! The atmosphere of the Old Barn Inn is fantastic!!!

Unfortunately I think they really missed the mark for Mother’s Day brunch. We arrived promptly at 10 am for our reservation and they would not let us inside because they weren’t ready. It was about 45 degrees outside and rainy. So we waited 5-10 minutes and they allowed us to go inside. It was very cold inside (so cold that my daughters nose turned red and we were all uncomfortable in long pants, long sleeves, and coats). I realize the weather wasn’t pleasant but it was forecasted to be cold and rainy well in advance, so I would think they could’ve provided heaters or some sort of warmth. My mimosa was served to me in a regular juice glass and I’m unsure there was any champagne in it. It definitely did not have the “rock candy swirl stick” as described on the menu. So I paid $10 for juice. The food was awful. Not seasoned at all and cold. The “prime rib” was cut as if it were roast beef. Shavings of meat. No salt. I’m appalled that guests well allowed to serve themselves at the buffet considering we are still well within a global pandemic. Some of the younger servers seemed confused and were running every which way, almost crashing into me each time I went up to the buffet. I will say that our server was very friendly. At around $50 per person I expected much better. I left there utterly disappointed, frozen, and hungry.
