The service was bad at first. Wait staff was super dismissive at first, but towards the end, they started to warm up to us, but not without a good amount of diplomacy on our part to break the awkwardness.
Food was sub-par. Seafood medley was expensive but it was overcooked shellfish over sad, unseasoned spaghetti. The appetizers were modestly portioned with a price that should have begged for gratuity. The burgers were pretty good, credit where credit is due, but not good enough to warrant a return or a recommendation.

Not much going on in downsville but the old school house inn has a great front bar area and the food is pretty damn good.

The salad bar offering is outstanding. Make sure you try the banana bread if it's there. On our particular night our steak came out 10 to 15 maybe even 20 minutes after everybody else's food came out a lot of the other orders that came out had gotten cold it seemed like they forgot our order.

Very good food, excellent service, and nice atmosphere. A little fancier than other places in the area and thus a tad on the expensive side, but not prohibitively expensive.

This restaurant is A+ ! We had the filet mignon and roasted red potato special and the schoolhouse burger, then the Reese's pie and the Oreo pie for dessert - the food was delicious and our server, Meg, was very attentive and friendly! Quick service and a quaint, clean atmosphere. Don't miss out!

Interesting building and decorations. Service was good, but no masks. Food was ok in general. I had the Prime rib and cut, it was way too dry. Others had the prime rib and it was good. Eggplant parmesan was good, pasta primavera was good but could have used more sauce. Salad bar was fair, but surprised to see it. We hand nachos
appitizer and was good for the four of us.

The ambiance and food are great, but the soda refills are extra charge. I got charged for three drinks and only had two. By the time my wife Saw the extra charge it was too late we were gone.

We went here two times while in town. On both occasions, it was great. Our first waitress, Shannon, was particularly fantastic: she had an awesome, cheerful energy about her.
Our favorites were:
The boule bread appetizer. All around fantastic, from the mozzarella melted on top to the pesto and marinara dipping sauces.
Their pastas. Particularly the shrimp and scallop pasta entree.
Beer selection was also great, including numerous varieties of Ommegang brews.
