The Wentworth Inn Dining Room - Jackson

Made a reservation for 2 for 6pm on a Saturday at the end of school break and were seated promptly and it wasn 't too crazy in the dining area, though it definitely started to fill out by 7pm when we were close to leaving. Ordered the peach buffalo chicken tenders, which we 've had before and are 10/10 incredible, but there was a mixup and we got peach buffalo wings, which were also great but not quite on the same level. We 've been here a few times now and every dish has been great I got the NY steak for the first time and it was very well cooked. We definitely miss the old cabot cheese mashed potatoes but all forms of potatoes that we 've tried that they serve here have been wonderful! Our server was very friendly and attentive as it started to get busier, we were definitely checked on less, but that 's totally understandable. I always highly recommend this place and go in with very high expectations and I had a great experience tonight. Parking is a little bit tight we parked across the street close to some ambiguous No Parking signs, but it 's not clear how far they extend, and there 's some safety in the large number of cars parked there anyway.

Due to COVID causing a mass loss of restaurant employees, the town restaurants shut down two or more days a week. Thankfully, on a Tuesday when everywhere else seemed to be closed, this tavern was open. I made a reservation online and it has you choose a location to reserve I chose table in the tavern) but we ended up on bar stools. That's honestly fine. We just wanted food. It was Hoot night and that was enjoyable because so much is closed and it was rainy so it was a really good vibe of locals and visitors. The drinks were good but the bartender did forget us for a while which was odd because we were sitting at the bar... The duck confit was so well seasoned and cooked. The cajun fries were hot and delicious. The food in general was really cooked well which was great. If we're honest, we were expecting mediocre pub food and it really was above and beyond that. A bit pricey plus the barstools were not super fun. The decor is exactly what you should expect for an inn and tavern. Overall a great time.

1 STAR BECAUSE 0 IS NOT AN OPTION HERE. RACIST, DISGUSTING, UNPROFESSIONAL. PLEASE STARVE BUT DO NOT GO HERE. 7pm: We get to the restaurant on a Saturday (party of 8 4 adults 4 kids 7:15pm: Ordered food and drinks at 7:15 (Pitcher of water for the table, 3 kids meals, 4 small plates, 1 entree, 2 alcoholic drinks 7:45pm: Nothing has shown up yet. No water, no drinks, no kids meals. We ask the waitress why we don 't even have the water, the drinks, or the bread she would bring for the table yet. She says the kitchen is backed up.... We have a hard time understanding because the water is not cooked in the kitchen and the drinks come from the bar... 7:50pm: Pitcher of water shows up 7:52pm: 1 basket of bread shows up for 8 of us 7:55pm: 1 drink shows up. We ask about the other drink. She says she wrote it down but doesn 't remember what it really was and actually came back with the intention of asking us but we distracted her by asking her about why the water was not here yet... 8:00pm: A couple seated on an adjacent table complains about delays and also ketchup on the ceiling above them... 8:05pm: The 3 kids meals show up. We ordered Kraft Mac Cheese from the kids menu but didn 't realize it was made from the box. The kids asked why that took 45 minutes... Server says she doesn 't have the beer we ordered, so we give her 2 other options. 8:15pm: 3 small plates and 1 entree shows up 8:25pm: A beer finally shows up an hour and 15 minutes later. We ask for the last small plate that is not here yet. 8:30pm: The last small plate shows up. I ask for the manager to communicate our dissatisfaction with the service. Here is the conversation: ME: We have been here an hour and half and something is yet to be the way it should be. (Explained the timeline above MANAGER: Many restaurants in the area are understaffed, so are we. ME: Well, you 're not understaffed, you 're overbooked. You know how much staff you have and so should book tables accordingly. This kind of service is unacceptable. MANAGER: What do you want me to do? ME: Nothing, I just want to let you know so you are aware of what is going on. MANAGER: Okay, thanks. (WALKS AWAY... Finally, when we ask for the check, the server shows up, smiling and laughing for the first time in 2 hours, saying very casually that she is sorry we had to wait, and that she hopes we have a wonderful weekend. SURPRISE MOMENT: 20% gratuity added to the check and it said nowhere... not on the menu, no signs, nowhere. OH AND BY THE WAY, the 'WHITE ' couple that sat near us actually got an apology the first time they complained, then went on to walking away without eating even after ordering their food because it took too long. But we were different because we are NOT WHITE.

We won a nights stay here in a local auction and chose a Tuesday night, as they have live entertainment in the tavern. This Inn is a throwback to old New England Inns and was exactly what we were hoping for. When we arrived, about 3pm, there were no people around, but we did find a note to us, telling us where our room was located. They are so laidback there, that the room doors are left open with a set of keys inside the rooms. Unheard of in todays world, and we loved it. Our room had a nice sitting room with it too that just added to the ambience of the room. We went down for dinner at 6pm and chose to eat in the tavern, as the dining room seemed too quiet for us.The tavern on the other hand was almost packed, as the music was starting soon. As the night is known as HOOT night, we had no idea what to expect. We are not big eaters, so I got the panko crusted chicken tenders and my wife got a pastrami sandwich. The food was excellent and came within a short time, considering how full it was. After a few hours of listening to the music, we decided to call it a night, but I have to say HOOT night was a fun night with many different musicians playing either with a few others backing them or solo. All in all, this place is a gem and we will be back.

Great restaurant! Love the atmosphere here! Staff is very kind and good priced. Outdoor area is beautiful with live music. We were staying in North Conway and decided to come here for dinner. Amazing choice if you're in the area!
