Joshua Wilton House Inn & Restaurant, Harrisonburg

Our first visit in Fall 2010 was so great that we planned our December trip to include and overnight and dinner in the inn's restaurant. (We only had a chance to eat breakfast there on our earlier visit; it was phenomenal.) Room was lovely, service was friendly and efficient, food is superb, and location is perfect. Very much enjoyed the whole place and are heading back next week for another stay when we pick up our JMU student for spring break. (We can actually make the round-trip in a day, but the inn makes staying overnight a mini-vacation.)

The service is always great and the food is amazing. I love the house and its decor. The menu is always changing, so there is always something new for you to try out. I personally love the Joshua Wilton salad. The wine selection is great, so are the desserts. One negative: management seems stiff and cold, even if you are spending a bunch of money there.

My sister, her husband, and their son (nephew and college student as their daughter is a college student as well), and myself (their children's aunt) went there to dine. They were highly recommeded by the Resort Timeshare my sister and her husband own. We're Pennsylvania habitants and even the artistic decor was a real treat for us to admire. I particular loved the teapot sillouette watercolor painting on sale. The service of the matre'd was top notch. The food felt as if it came right out of Liza Minelli's song "I Happen To Love New York", "The Carnegie Deli--there's joy in each bite." We were very impressed to say the least. Thank you for everything.
