Did not stay at the hotel but dined in. The hotel is really cool and historic. The food was delicious! You could tell the food was fresh and had the made from scratch taste. Our server was great, and who we assume was the owner stopped by the make sure our food and service was good. Would recommend! This is a hidden gem for sure.

We had an excellent one night stay in Kings Daughter room at the request our our daughter for her birthday celebration. Before dinner we browsed local shops which are within a block of the hotel. Dinner in the cafe was fantastic and finished the night bowling in the basement. While looking around I was given the chance to check out the spa which is very nice, I see a spa booking during a future stay! Brunch was also delicious. I love the architecture of this hotel, I've been here for family reunions and now as single family getaway. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel for a quiet getaway. Clean

Faultless! The service was excellent from check in onwards. Fallon and Taylor worked really hard in the bar & restaurant, and were both charming. Our (Chinese) room was very comfortable with a wonderful bathroom. We are so pleased we found this gem!

They had great service. The portions were good. The shrimp in the shrimp tacos had no flavor. The sauce and fries saved the meal.

I have not been to this restaurant for over 17 years so wasn't sure what to expect. The atmosphere is everything I remembered, such a good architechural renovation and the ambiance is great. Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience with the food. Our waitress was sweet but clearly new, she didn't ask us what dressing we wanted with our salads so we helped her by telling her incase she needed to put it in with our order. The house soup was beef and barley but when it was delivered it was a cheesey chowder type soup. When we asked for the soup we ordered we were told the soup of

Well truthfully I had friends and family staying there I was not actually staying there but when I video chatted with a family member or did look really nice in these room. He said it was pretty good but wishes they had better breakfast choices. Other than that he liked it so I assume it is a good place you stay at.

We ate here twice while we were in town, and I can't say enough good things about it. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious and was brought to us in a timely fashion despite how busy they were, and the folks working in the bar were wonderful and fun. Clean, fast, friendly service with amazing food!

The Diner now has a fantastic chef. We enjoyed a 5 star meal at a 3 star price. SERIOUSLY the prices are substantially under the going rate by 20 percent. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE.

This hotel and restaurant was such a pleasant surprise. We were given a gift certificate as a thank you from a special work assignment and from the website didn't expect anything as lovely as this.

We had dinner during their prime rib special night and this was a fantastic meal! The meat was thick and cooked perfectly. The salad was quite nice and the service was fast and friendly.

The décor is richly appointed with dark wood and a railroad theme. Very nicely done. The booths were deep and comfortable too.

I would recommend this hotel and restaurant to anybody looking to enjoy a special

Brought my mom here for their Mother's Day brunch/lunch. Waitress was friendly and attentive.

Food selection was limited to a few breakfast and a few lunch items as well as dessert. Mom's received a complimentary mimosa.

I went with the steak Diane for lunch and my mom had the pan seared salmon with lobster Oscar. Both meals were delicious. The desserts were even better. I had the lemon cheesecake and she had the chocolate truffle cake with vanilla bean ice cream.

Overall, food was good and high class. Definitely a must try when you're in the area.

I was on a bike ride on the nearby Raccoon Valley trail. A group of 5 stopped for breakfast. The building is a rehabilitated historic gem. The dining area is beautiful. The staff are friendly. The food is excellent at a fair price. The service was slow , as they had an employee call in sick. The overall experience made up for it. I can't wait to go back.

I ate at Harveys at it's previous location. I had been out bow hunting and was not dressed nicely and the location looked informal. The food however, frankly blew me away. I don't remember what I had but I remember missing it. Fast forward to our first stop at it's new (not brand new but our first time going there). The location is great. Again, I was dressed for outdoors but they treated me with complete kindness and down to earth conversation even though others in the restaurant were dressed up. At this location you could dress nicely and have a nice night out.

I'm still sad Harvey's left redfield, I can no long walk to this amazing place. It maybe a good thing since I can't be tempted as often into some of the best desserts in the state. Harvey's is still definitely worth the drive, and has lost nothing in quality with this move. The menu is still amazing. The hotel offers a beautiful location for a restaurant that Harvey's fits right into. The staff is always great and it's so nice to run into the owner always making sure you are enjoying yourself. This is one of my favorite things about restaurants like this.

Save your time and money. The decor is excellent, and the hotel worth checking out. The food, service, and price in the dining room, not so much. I've been in the service industry for ten years, and have rarely experienced service so embarrasing. I had to hunt down the water pitcher and fill up my own glass, after waiting so long, going to the bar to find a water and drink refill, and overhearing everyone just chatting away in the kitchen (shouldn't you be out checking on the guests, making sure drinks are filled, and letting us know why are food is taking almost an hour?).

Few diners in America are designed to reflect the history of a place than this diner with its well crafted bas-relief, murals of the Perry station and trains, and a model train. This time, our breakfast was delicious and all the guests seemed pleased with their fare.

We truly lucked out when we arrived in downtown Perry on a Sunday morning... Seems like everywhere was closed except this culinary gem of a restaurant! We loved the art-deco/small-town vibe... the staff was friendly and the food was superb. We split the breakfast burrito, and it was incredible... I've never had a breakfast burrito with sausage gravy on top... but it perfectly complemented the soft flour tortilla, eggs, potatoes and some sort of white cheese. My husband ordered the Bloody Mary and rated it top five (from him, that's about the best rating one can get!) The waitress explained

This is a beautiful building. Great atmosphere and beautiful decor. We went in because my dad wanted some of the onion rings. None of us were very hungry so we were just going to do a couple appetizers. We got the large order of onion rings. My step mom got the mac and cheese with grilled chicken, she said it was really good. My dad and I each got a salad to go with the onion rings. I ordered the wedge salad with ranch dressing. the Ranch is soooo very good. The onion ring platter was huge. The rings are thick with a lot of breading. I prefer the onion itself, so I left a lot of breading. It came

I'm SO happy that this beautiful hotel now has a matching Fantastic restaurant. We live in DesMoines and are happy to drive to Perry to eat here. Started with Lemon Drop martinis- it was the best one I've ever had!!! I had to have a second one. Everything on the menu looked good- honestly-everything! Started with their " Tots"- mashed potatoes with sweet corn and chives/ in large tot form ( deep fried) and served with a dipping sauce. Very tasty. Be sure and order the " hotel salad"- greens, frizze, dried cranberries, walnuts and a delicious, slightly sweet vinaigrette

My initial review was for David's Milwaukee Diner, whose space is now occupied by Harvey's Diner, who moved over from Redfield. I'll withhold reviewing Harvey's new place until we can get up there, but initial reports sound good!

I love the decor of this place and will totally drink a beer here again but that's it.

After becoming the duke on my second checkin I understood why people really don't come back.

My first lunch here was delicious but took 1:15 to get a sandwich. I enjoyed the tenderloin sandwich.

This time I had dinner and a beer at the bar. It took a while for anyone from the back to even notice I had arrived and come take my order. When I grabbed the menu they said sorry they switched from the happy hour menu but forgot to take them away. I ordered the fried chicken special and it came out nice

Great food surrounded by high art. Great midwestern menu (plus some seafood) and big city cocktails and excellent wines. Stopped here on an anniversary celebration night, stayed at the hotel Pattee and very much enjoyed dinner.
Food was presented well and tasted beyond the price point. Quaint setting and local feel.

We returned to David's while staying at the hotel and ate four meals this time, 2 breakfasts and two dinners.

I had the Meatloaf, and the tenderloin sandwich for dinner time. And the Make your Own Omelet, and Breakfast Skillet, both of which were very tasty and filling. My wife had Chicken Parmigiana and the Strawberry Salad for dinner. At breakfast she had the pancakes on the first morning, and a heaping bowl of oatmeal on the last day.

All food was served hot in the fabulous dining room, and the staff was wonderful and attentive.

Oh yes, we'll be back.
