Reviews for Stillwater Inn in Jefferson, TX
This would be an excellent restaurant in any city, but it happens to be in Jefferson, TX. Let me break it down. The place: An... 1890’s house is perfect for a restaurant in this town of Victorian homes. It’s very tastefully decorated and minimalist. Thedining rooms are smaller, since the layout of the old house remains. This makes it feel intimate. They also have a bar whichonly prepares drinks for diners. The food: The menu is sufficiently creative while covering a variety of proteins and delicioussides. I opened with a goat cheese salad and was not disappointed (every inch of the salad was dressed with the sweetvinaigrette, but it was still deliciously light). I ordered the trout and my dining partner had the massive pork chop that wasthe night’s special. The house side of sweet potato puree was world class, and we both enjoyed our dishes very much. Theprices: Expect to spend what any good restaurant will cost you. Our meal cost about $100 per person, but without the bottle ofwine you should be able to keep it to about $75 per person. It’s pricey for every day, but really worth trying when you havesomething to celebrate…or when you want the best meal in the county. The service: Our waiter’s name was David, and he wasan excellent waiter. He was on top of every detail all evening, and he knew the menu very well. He came by at least 4 timesduring our meal. With staff like David, the service will be a positive memory of any dinner here. Summary: Deserves the 5stars, even when compared to upscale restaurants in “the city.” Fair prices, great service, food, and ambience for a gourmetdining restaurant. If you’re a tourist in Jefferson, like we were, you should definitely check it out. Read more

Quaint jewel in Jefferson. Full bar, many wine choices. Staff was very attentive. Victorian home atmosphere is comfortable. ... Grouper is very good. Double chop dry but a lovely sauce saved the day. Read more

We started with the goat cheese stuffed Portobello mushrooms. Even if you’re not a big mushroom fan, order it anyway. It’s a... taste of Heaven We’re from Dallas in the middle of all the big name 5-Star steak houses, and after frequenting Del Friscos,Bob’s Steak & Chop house, Papas Brother’s, Three Forks, Morton’s and so many others, we wanted to try something a littledifferent especially after all the raving reviews about Stillwater Inn. Our typical steaks of choice is the bone in rib-eye, butwe decided to try the filets with the mushroom bordelaise sauce, which was a nice change of pace, as I could cut it with abutter knife with ease. Their aging process gives their steaks the best crust I’ve tasted yet. We also had the goat cheesesalad which was perfect before our steaks arrived. For dessert we had their Limoncello which was remarkable! I’d go again justto have their Limoncello, as I’ve never tasted anything like it. Great food, good service and excellent ambiance. Read more
The best place for dinner in Jefferson! It was hard to choose, everything sounded delicious. We chose the leek and spinach soup,... the duck breast and rack of lamb. We chose wisely! They have a full bar and a great bartender also. Our server, Eric, wasawesome. We will be back next time we are in Jefferson. Read more
Quality prepared food. Have never been disappointed in taste & texture. Prices are at a premium, but a great place for a special... occassion/event or simply when you want to take your significant other for a fine meal and enjoy an elegant evening. Staff isfriendly and accommodating. The location itself is an old home built circa 1893, and the craftsmanship of the building itself isevident. The grounds are pleasing, and an easy to find place. Overall, I have never heard of someone being disappointed in theirdining experience at this restaurant, so definitely worth the trip to have dinner with family, friends, or simply a date withyour love.
