"Flint Hill Public House was recommended to us by the inn that my husband and I were staying at over the weekend. After hearing mixed reviews from other guests we decided to take a shot and give it a try. The dining room was beautifully decorated and we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our waitress was knowledgeable and able to make suggestions at our request. My husband and I ended up choosing the crab cakes and catfish per her recommendation. Unfortunately both entrees were quite a let down. The catfish was raw in the center and the crab cakes were runny and served with almost raw red potatoes. I love potatoes, so trust that this was not a deal breaker for me, but the crab cakes left left much to be desired. My husband and I both have many years of experience in the fine dining industry, so we are not ones to complain unless something is truly undercooked. Upon informing the waitress of our problem with the catfish, she returned to say the chef was sorry and that the cut was rather large and must have been the reason for the poor prep of the dish. At no point did the chef offer to further cook the dish or offer a dessert to make up for the poorly cooked dish. My husband and I were not looking for a free meal by any means, but when a chef acknowledges the reality of a problem and nothing is done that is a true breakdown in customer service. We will not be returning on our next visit to the area."

"We arrived around 7:45 PM on a Saturday night, and I was expecting to have to wait in a crowd to be seated. On the contrary, there was hardly a person in sight. The hostess kindly sat us right next to the other two occupied tables in the restaurant. This place is gigantic, and the majority of seats were empty. I can understand sitting people together: it's a little less awkward than sitting alone in one of the many huge, vacant rooms. We were sat next to a double dating couple free of the inhibitions of quiet conversation, intimacy, or privacy. It was like we were sitting with them at their table, except we were a good 5' away in the sea of empty tables. The servers were very nice and polite, and attempted to break the ice with jokes. I started with the the tuna (ahi? appetizer. It was alright, but nothing to write home about. In terms of bang/buck, it was about 50%. My spouse ordered the stuffed mushrooms, which were very tasty: 100% bang. The veal was a very sizeable portion, with a side of pasta that may have been mistaken for the main dish. More than enough. The grouper I had was very good, if a tiny bit dry. What can I say about the crab meat? It was on top of the grouper. The asparagus was cooked well and lightly seasoned, and the mashed potatoes were mashed potato y. For a place with such a variety of options, mashed potatoes seem like a wasted opportunity. The desserts are what shined (although I say this as someone who only watched dessert being eaten 2nd hand . Sometimes Tiramusi can taste frozen and pre made, but their tiramisu was no such thing. It was fresh, moist, and the rum soaked cake was superb. Overall, the food was good, the service was good, but it was definitely not worth the price."
