As a former restaurant professional, I find myself being the critic. There was not a thing in the entire meal that wasn't elegant. The sherbet between courses was a lovely touch. The servers know how to read a table, i. e., when to approach a guest and when to show discretion. Light, fluffy, melt-in -your-mouth cheesecake was the perfect complement... More

A goregous restaurant with wonderful food. Had the Prix Fixe menu Sat night. Best meal in memory. Piano played in the background, adding to the ambience. Very accomodating on a food allergy. Splendid, attentive service. Not to be missed!

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending Mimslyn Inn for dinner and then a few days later, their Sunday brunch. The Inn is gorgeous and the staff are beautifully dressed and their service is excellent. And then there is the food. It is delicious. We highly recommend that if you are in the vicinity of Luray, to drop... More

A lunch buffet served on Friday and Saturday is the best deal in Virginia. Not only is it reasonably priced, it also serves up some great food from the Mymslyn's kitchens. Dine in style in a great hotel.

This review pertains to the Sunday breakfast buffet, not the "brunch", though I doubt it matters. Quickly seated in the very handsomely decorated Circa '31 dining room, I had high hopes for a quick Sunday breakfast before venturing out and enjoying some of the surrounding attractions. We were provided with a choice between a regular breakfast menu and the offerings... More

They had an excellent breakfast buffet on Saturday morning we were there but apparently they don't always, depending on the number of guests that weekend. We also had the lunch buffet on Friday that was excellent! Great little Inn in a quaint little town - loved it!

The food was great and the staff was more than accomodating. Was attending a large function and the service was great. Food was served hot and right on time.

My better half and I were craving breakfast food at 11am on a Sunday and most places were only offering the lunch menu. Mimslyn Inn advertised a "Sunday Brunch" until 2pm -- perfect! The setting is very nice and there was some live music (piano). We didn't have a reservation but only had to wait a few minutes to be... More

This restaurant should be rated at the top of all the big boy's lists. We have rarely had such a fine meal. We opted for a wine pairing dinner. The service was attentive but not overpoweringly so; the wines were all great, and the food (I had a seafood choice and my husband chose a meat entree) was excellent. The... More
