Three Chimneys Inn & Frost Sawyer Tavern

Mike Bellissimo

Came here for Mother's Day Brunch with our senior mom who has mobility challenges. Rather than accommodating us with an upstairs table we were sent down a path and stairs to the tavern to a high top table in the dark. There was no empathy nor critical thinking from the staff for our mom who was walking with a cane. P.S. Read their absolutely insensitive and inaccurate response as well as their response to most one star ratings. So, if I have this straight...we arrive with our elderly mom from out of state at 11:30a when the restaurant was absolutely empty. The grandmother with the hip replacement who was our hostess should have known better than to send an 87yo gma herself walking with a cane down a steep ramp and steps to the tavern. Yet we trusted her only to be greeted by a locked door and equally surly staff down below. Did we protest this treatment? Heck yeah! Were we justified? Absolutely! Our repeated entreaties to be accommodated better were greeted with a "all the tables are reserved, you should have requested this upon booking." It was only after I demanded an accessible table did one materialize. Were the other guests aware this had happened? Those around us saw what ensued and were empathetic. Why would I write letters to the paper in Portsmouth, Fosters, Durham and send a letter to the restaurant safety inspector for the town? Because this restaurant was in violation of its right to operate without proper access and accommodation. It is often said that tone at the top matters. The leaders of this inn are clearly tone deaf. Thankfully there are so many wondeful places in the area to eat. We are back often as our mom is nearby in senior living. Everyone there has heard our story. Not that it matters to Three Chimney but after dining globally for forty years they get the prize for unempathetic staff. Good luck if you try to eat there. And good riddance to rude restaurants!

Recently, we got married at the three chimneys inn. It was the Perfect day. From the time we toured and booked to the day of event and beyond, Kelsey, Romaine, and their staff worked hard and seamlessly to make our event run smoothly. Kelsey was the best wedding coordinator, responding patiently to our many questions and follow up emails. Both Kelsey and Romaine were very present and calming all weekend! They always had a smile on their faces and made sure we and our guests had everything we needed. As the night was underway, they broke down all our decor and neatly placed it for our pick up the next day. I can not recommend this venue enough for anyones wedding or other big event! It’s a beautiful setting, they work well with other vendors such as the photographer, bakery, or dj, and their staff and accommodations were very welcoming. Thank you Kelsey, Romaine, and all your staff once again!!

Good dinner with most excellent waiters. Dinner selection not extensive, but well presented and dessert was excellent. Kudos to the chef.

Three Chimney's provided us with the best wedding experience we could have imagined! From the beautiful venue itself, with so much character in every room, to the delicious food, they were the entire package. Kelsey and Romayne were incredible and made planning so easy and stress free. They really went out of their way to add in special touches for us and make sure that we didn't need to think of anything other than having fun and enjoying our special day. They also took care of our rehearsal and dinner the night before our wedding and made sure everything went smooth the entire weekend. We couldn't be happier and only have good things to say. Looking forward to visiting for our anniversary dinner! Thank you so much!!
