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.

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!

Dinner service was spectacular. Food was delicious and it's just a gorgeous old inn. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Had dinner on the Tavern side, next time in the dining room. My salmon was cooked perfectly served with the extra sauce I asked for. Idk if it was because we went with a long time patrons, but I'll be back. Prices were reasonable, portions ample, no up charge for bread if you'd like it. Desserts were amazing! Oh ya, order the au'gratin potatoes, they are the best!Vegetarian options: They will do it well for you vegetariansDietary restrictions: They will most definitely make it like you want it!Parking: Free parking, but it's tight on a busy night!Kid-friendliness: It's a grown ups restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Back of the building, is the ramp. Tight inside, it's an old building.

Just excellent! Mid week dinner for my birthday. My wife’s shrimp scampi was delicious and my pork chops were very good too. Well portioned we couldn’t finish it all and had to take the leftovers home. Service was excellent.Worth the drive.

Was just there 9/23. I'm due for an updated review. It was spectacular, as I expected it would be. It just keeps getting better and better. Service, both from the kitchen and the bar was outstanding. I had a filet with peppercorn sauce. It tasted so good on my tongue it was a shame not to savor it the entire evening. Frankly, I'm a little perturbed at the losers who can't give Karen (the owner) a rating of 5 of 5. They must be the jerks from NY who think NY is the cultural center of the universe. Pay no attention to any rating less than a 5. Go with confidence that you will be blown away by the experience.

We love this place because it's close, we return because of the food and service. Low key vibe special occasion night.
