We read the reviews and listened to recomendations from an inn keeper. Great table and initially good service. The courses slowed after a large group came in. We ordered the spinach/leek soup. Very good. The Stillwater salad was pleasant also. We both ordered the pecan encrusted trout, looking forward to a great main course...At least 30 minutes later our trout... More

Thank you for taking the time to write TA concerning your evening meal. We always appreciate constructive criticism. I regret your under seasoned trout, and the less than satisfying service. Sometimes sufficient staffing is difficult to achieve in a small town. The trout is very popular and offered with house tartar sauce or lemon crown. I hope you will try... More

After visiting East Tx for years now, we had never heard of Stillwater Inn, other than comments here and there of their nice B&B. This morning, a couple recommended Stillwater Inn for a nice dinner. My husband, and I were both so happy to find this hidden jewel. The food was excellent, it's hard to find a place that prepares... More

Several folks recommended this restaurant as the best fine dining room in town, and they were all correct. Located in a bed and breakfast, the food, ambiance, and service were all quite good for our evening meal.

The Stillwater Inn is such a charming place to have a special dinner date. The service was so friendly and professional. Our particular waitress was well versed in the specials and the main menu. The hostess was so sweet and genuine. My husband and I ordered the salmon special they offered and the pecan encrusted trout listed on the menu.... More

My wife and I celebrated our 27th anniversary at Stillwater Inn and really enjoyed it. This is the only 4-5* restaurant in Jefferson and the service, food and atmosphere is excellent! We started with Escargot (excellent) and had the Salmon and Cranberry Duck (excellent) and ended with a special coffee drink and glass of Tawny Port. Superb!

We really enjoyed the food at the Stillwater Inn on our recent trip to Jefferson. The people that worked there were very friendly and helpful in discussing our plans for the next day. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the fact that the serving sizes were normal and not the over sized portions so common in restaurants today.

The restaurant's website currently indicates that the restaurant is closed on Mondays, but I called to be sure. The chef/owner who answered the phone, assured me that he would be open on the Monday evening of my planned trip to Jefferson. He accepted a reservation, and was very informative. Having eaten here only once, I was hoping for the same... More

Wonderful food and excellent service. A real find in a small town. Not "everyday" prices but very good value for a fancy evening dinner. We have been going there for over 20 years. It is still great! Highly recommended!!!!!

We dine at the Stillwater Inn at least once a month on our way from Houston to Texarkana to visit our Mother. We look forward to it all day long. The morning before we leave and on the way down we talk about what we might order, etc. We have never been disappointed. It is a great break in our... More
