Jasone’s is not your typical restaurant which is kind of what, along with the ambiance of a grand old home, I was looking forward to. The inn keeper did her best by trying to single handedly prepare meals for 15 individuals, but the experience I believe for all was lacking. Touted as using only the freshest of local ingredients and artfully crafted into a memorable culinary experience there was nothing about the experience that was redeeming except for perhaps the effort (albeit a largely disappointing result). Dried basil flakes on top of a mediocre tomato soup does not a basil-tomato bisque make. Parmesan potatoes were poorly done, the teenage server spilled pasta on the guest and yet another had problems retrieving the remainder of a six pack of beer (BYOB) after the dinner was concluded. Steak was not memorable, server would have liked to have been somewhere else – and all things considered so do I.

π  ½       Nothing memorable, exceptional or
π  ½       Service was lackluster. Do you think you should know when the  building was built if you work in a B&B? Answer, 1906
