Ferndale Inn

Tradition food, attentive service, warm cozy atmosphere

We 've eaten here many times over the years and never had a worse experience. High end menu comes with expectations of excellence that was not the case. .The fish in the fish and chips was not flakes, but flavorless terribly mushy and basically inedible , why? And the cole slaw which accompanied it and was tried by two in our party, just one bite told us both it was off like it had stayed parked in the fridge too long, and was not by any stretch fresh. Our 18 salad was not much larger than the side, and unfortunately our meal had already started off on a bad foot when, looking forward to nice hot bread instead we got a basket of cold dense slices of sad white bread. Then our baked brie appetizer (advertised to be accompanied by a form of chutney /jam came with a giant pile of dried apricots all intact and whole just piled unceremoniously on the plate. When we mentioned to our server we were missing the spreadable component to our appetizer he randomly explained they were out of currents? Then he returned from the kitchen at one point to gaslight us by claiming the cook swears the apricots are sugar glazed lol. In my 6 decades on earth I 'm certain a pile of dried apricot cold and unprocessed in any way are in no way any sort of chutney or spreadable side, it was laughable and so unprofessional.The attitude of our server became progressively more disinterested. We ate very little of the poorly prepared entrees (mushy fish n chips. Undercooked rice. Flavorless veggies he disengaged.On the upside The French Fries and asparagus were both impressively on point and quite enjoyable and finally as an after thought (spending down a gift certificate we ordered the creme brulee and homemade raspberry sorbet: both were delicious and the creme brulee was executed righteously, they were a redeeming part of an otherwise questionable meal. Our server was still tipped out generously not because he cared that much about our experience but because we were eating in honor of my recently deceased brother who loved the Ferndale Inn. And was a notoriously big tipper . If the standard of service and food we experienced this time is the new standard, we won 't be back.

The atmosphere was cozy. The service was very good. The food was delicious!

Best secret spot in Bucks County! We’re frequent diners at The Ferndale Inn and it’s easy to see why-: great bar area- cozy and historic. (BEST Cosmos outside of NYC! the menu is varied and provides a rich selection of great meals. You can even make a great meal with apps alone. A salad and two apps? Perfect. And the service is ALWAYS outstanding. Thanks for being a consistent favorite!

Relaxing dining experience. First time at the Ferndale Inn and enjoy everything about the place.
