Michael Anthony's At The Inn

Very poorly run motel, have tried to go there twice, both times closed for a private event, called booking number they know nothing about it, do they think Versailles is some major city, the old Motel and Restaurant never closed for a private event that I am aware of.

Silas restaurant in Hotel Versailles completely exceeded my expectations. My daughter has an allium intolerance which makes eating out almost impossible but she contacted them about menu possibilities. We were able to celebrate her 30th birthday with an amazing meal. Our server, Angie, was so kind and took the time to check on other options. The chefs did all they could to provide her with a great meal. She is usually disappointed by the lack of care from other restaurants but not Silas. I haven't seen her so happy at a restaurant since her intolerance was diagnosed. The roasted Brussel sprouts were delicious and different, my side salad had chunks of pumpkin in it and I was so surprised I liked that since I'm not a pumpkin fan. The desserts were amazing too. I'm not a fan of carrot cake which my daughter got but I snuck a bite and couldn't believe how light and fluffy and perfect it was! Sourcing local ingredients is a plus and the ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful. I'd give them ten stars if I could. This place has heart.

Regrettably, we were under awed. The great pictures from other reviewers and their great comments seem to be justified for the dinner menu or special occasions, perhaps. The lunch menu at Silas offered a smaller and simpler selection, more in line with expediting table turnover than a dining experience. Tasty? Certainly, and the local sourcing makes more sense at their location, 30 40 minutes beyond northern Dayton. From Kettering Beavercreek, perhaps an equivalent ride to the Cincinnatti market. Tempura fried wild mushrooms: served in a bowl, on a platter just large enough for the bowl. The large pieces, however, required cutting no plate was provided for that obvious purpose. It was enjoyable, and filling. So much so that when my chicken salad sandwich was served I already felt full. I left the plate untouched for a good ten minutes, without a check back. Entry exit from the semicircular booth table was self service. Lunch for two was $50 with neither drinks nor dessert.

My new favorite restaurant ! (sorry Hyde Park Upper Arlington LOVE that it is fresh, farm to table. (They have their own farm! Super creative menu that changes as food comes in and out of season. LOVE that much is locally sourced. We shared the charcuterie tray and it was excellent! Especially liked the jalapeño jelly. The salad was fresh from the farm but it was the delightful lemony dressing that made the salad. Scallops and Salmon were cooked perfectly. Both dishes surrounded by a delicious and eclectic combination of vegetables, potatoes and other goodies! Must go!

Hotel was beautiful. We really enjoyed the local selection of treats in the room. Big city feel in a small town. We had a few drinks at the bar and the staff was great. You need to try a gimlet, Just delicious. Now on to the issues with our stay. We stayed here for a wedding in town because I had asked about a shuttle. Manager said that they did indeed have a shuttle when I made the reservation. When we got there I asked the gentleman at the front desk about the shuttle service. I may as well have asked about the space program. They did not have a shuttle and he seemed put out that I would even ask. At the bar..... you are in full view of customers. Maybe don't use the towel that you polish the drink glasses with to clean your eyeglasses and wipe your face? Just throwing that out there. It's a bit pricey, But well worth what you will spend.
