Comus Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain

Our entire experience here was really great. We showed up for a spontaneous bring post hike and the host was really nice and accommodating despite our not being as dressed up as other guests and not having a reservation. Great food and service, good mimosa! Would love to come back for a special event dinner.

The hush puppies were good! And the shrimp & grits probably one of the best I have ever had. The chicken & waffles were good also.

Service was great! Everyone super nice. The inside was beautiful! (We were under dressed but no one seemed to mind)

This place was a pleasant surprise! After hiking & the winery there weren't many options in the area so we settled for here but our expectations were surpassed!

Overall a great experience that reminded me of my Duke North Carolina days :)

We had a groupon deal for this place and since it's so close to us we figured we would give them a try for dinner. The restaurant is situated in a pretty picturesque setting where you can see the sugar loaf mountain during the daytime. We were pleasantly surprised by both the meal and the service we experienced here. Although the dining area we were seated in was a bit snug, it was comfortable and gave for a more intimate feel. My fiancé had the meat loaf which he enjoyed while I had the catfish gumbo which was a bit spicy but very flavorful. We were definitely the youngest in the room but noticed a lot of sweet older couples that were there on their anniversary. Maybe this will be our spot also :)

Went here for our anniversary dinner. This place is fantastic! Breath taking views of Sugarloaf Mountain from our cozy table by the window. The food is incredible and so is the wine selection. Whatever you do, don't skip dessert! Our server, Theo, was fabulous. I fell in love with the Comus Inn and can't wait to go back!

The Comus Inn will always hold a special place in my heart because it is where my fiance and I will be getting married in October. However, we would never have picked the Comus Inn had we not been so completely impressed with their service, offerings, and cuisine. We did not pick this place lightly; we have eaten there half a dozen times over the course of the past few months alone. We have met the General Manager, Event Coordinator, and, of course, the wait staff. When you arrive at the Comus Inn, expect to be greeted by a friendly face. Usually, Jessie is right up front, and he will make you feel like a VIP! Ask him about the story behind the Comus Inn -- it's a Civil War era building turned into a restaurant, and it has a lot of history! Strike up a conversation; you won't be disappointed. If you have the time (and if a wedding isn't going on), ask to see the upstairs of the building. It's a gorgeous place with American history clearly laid into its walls. My fiance and I have come here only for brunch and lunch as we are generally morning people and not keen on dinner dates. Besides which - our wedding will be a morning affair, and we wanted to know what their brunch food would taste like. I can tell you -- we have never been disappointed. My favorite thing about the Comus is that they have a real chef, which means that their menu changes for special occasions, seasons, or when the chef runs out of an ingredient (as once happened for me -- he whipped me up something unique! and delicious). My other favorite thing is that their food is locally sourced! I am so glad to pay a little more to have my food come from small local farms and businesses. And -- the proof is in the pudding -- it tastes better too. The wait staff are wonderful here. They are always happy to answer questions (and quite knowledgeable about the food). The view is impeccable if you are fortunate enough to get a seat out on the balcony area (ask for one when you make your reservation; it's worth it! Especially if there's not a wedding going on -- wedding tents block the view). For those seeking a venue for an event of any nature, I highly recommend the Comus. Cheryl, the Event Coordinator, is amazing, kind, organized, communicative, professional, and just the type of person you know that you can trust with your event. I am so happy to have her helping me coordinate my big day. Events are typically held in the bottom portion of the building (which you should also check out of you have time). I'll be including a ton of photos with this review, so hopefully that shows you just how elegant this place is. The bottom area is complete with its own full bar finished in polished dark woods -- it's gorgeous, really. There's even a small wine room that offers elegance and sophistication to the atmosphere. Should your event require a tent, the tent that they use is amazing. I'll be including pictures of this too -- but imagine drapings coming down to cover the ceiling of the tent -- and chandeliers to add to the beauty and make you totally forget that you're actually under a tent roof. From what I've heard, the Comus Inn closed down for a few years -- and this new management has taken it to the next level. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate anything or just have a wonderful meal that makes you and everyone you're with feel special -- look no further. The Comus Inn absolutely has my recommendation.

In some respects dining alone can be just the thing - but when dining out a little ambiance is welcome - compensated for by excellent service and fine food - Will definitely come again Thank you.

The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent! We have made this an annual outing in the fall. Thanks!

Very beautiful space, great staff and good food. You can't go wrong taking the trek up to this restaurant. Well worth the drive.

We enjoyed this very much. Service superb, food outstanding. We shall return .

Wonderful job! Great service & delicious food. Thank you so MUCH for accommodating the vegan meal request. It was wonderful!

Friendly, elegant, and divine. Three words that come to mind for this place. From the host to the wait staff ( and possibly owner ?), every person you come across that works here is as friendly as can be. Service was first class. This Inn felt as if you're visiting an incredibly hospitable neighbor as soon as you arrive. We went here during their lunch time.The Comus Inn has an elegant setting with incredible mountain views. The decor was a traditional mountain design meets country style with fine touches of class. We arrive here from hiking, so I was a bit worried that we were underdressed, but it all worked out well! Last, but not least the food was delectable and divine.A must to visit if you are in the area!

My mom and I really enjoyed our lunch today. We especially loved the sweet potato and ginger soup. It's a beautiful setting and the front of the house service is excellent. Will likely return.

Wonderful dinner. We are looking forward to having our wedding & reception here next year !

Very, very nice experience. We thought it was better than the high rated restaurant in VA .

The food and service were both fantastic! We will definitely be back !

Great service! Great food !

Such elaborate meals, which came garnished with flowers, augmented the beautiful atmosphere. The mountainous landscape prepared a stunning view from every room, thus it comes as no surprise that many weddings are held at the Comus Inn. Inside an elegant country décor makes any hiker wish they'd thrown on their Sunday's best, but they are greeted just as such by a most hospitable host and management staff. A perfect recompense following a long day on the trail or in the vineyards, the Comus Inn is a treasured country getaway in the outskirst of city life.
