"Have always heard really good things about this place over the years and decided to stop in for dinner and drinks with some friends, little did we know we were heading for a culinary catastrophe. When we first arrived, the building is rundown it's an old building, but unlike other older buildings like the Franklinville Inn, that's taken care of this building is not. Pieces of wall missing from over top of Windows, chipped, paint drywall screws, holding in mirrors on the wall, just overall I really sad and old looking rundown appearance. When we first got there, we ordered drinks. My wife and a couple of her friends ordered mixed drinks when they received them they were very watered down and had no taste of alcohol whatsoever. My wife is not a drinker, maybe gets a drink 1 or 2 times a month and everything is really strong to her and she even said it didn't taste like there's alcohol in it. So they sent the drinks back and about 25 to 30 minutes later We had to ask for the drinks again to actually get them and when they came back, they were exactly the same so they were taken off the bill. Don't expect to get a good mixed drink here because apparently they don't know how to make them and they water down their alcohol. After that annoyance we decided to order our food, Some of us got entrées some of the other couples just got a couple appetizers. After about 10 to 15 minutes later we started getting food, the problem is the food did not all come out at once. One person got an entrée the other got appetizers, about 20 minutes later another couple random people got some appetizers I got my food last which was about 40 minutes after the first entrée was served. How does a restaurant send out some appetizers to some people and others get their entrées at the same time and then flop it and a half hour later the people that got appetizers, get entrées and the people that got entrées get appetizers. What a complete mess, a total breakdown of communication and the inability to run a restaurant, serving people at the same time at the same table is restaurant 101 its basics. I got the brisket flatbread and it was tasteless, It had no taste zero flavor. It was a mushy mess and a complete waste of money, in fact, every single person at that table (5) said their food was disgusting. The salmon had no flavor. The lobster roll was nasty, everything that was ordered that night was a complete waste of money. The food was so bad that the number one item on my list for the entire night was the french fries. It's pretty bad when you go to a fine dining restaurant and the best item that you ate after trying 8 to 9 different things was french fries. Our server was really nice, sitting by the lake was very nice but the food was absolutely garbage! And to top it all off when I used the men's room there's no paper towels there's no toilet paper. There is no hand soap, welcome to the sugar hill inn! The price that we paid for the food and what we got was absolutely shameful. Do not go to this place expecting any type of a good meal or a good drink, they do not have a clue on how to cook or run an effective and efficient kitchen. After telling some people of how bad our experience was, we found out later that new owners had bought the restaurant a couple months back maybe six or seven months ago. And their reviews reflect that, what once used to be fine dining and a very good restaurant in the area has gone downhill, down the sugar hill if you will. It was really so bad that we left there went to the Ocean City Boardwalk and a boardwalk pizza and it was so much better than the food that we got at the Sugarhill inn. Whoever bought this restaurant please sell it so that somebody who knows what they're doing can buy it and take it back to what it used to be, what we've all heard about for years a respectable place to eat."

I had a fantastic business meeting with 15 colleagues. The food was excellent and the setting was stunning. The service was outstanding as well.

Went at 6 pm. Left at 9:23 pm. Six people two got their dinner and finished before the other 4 dinners came 25 minutes late. One col and three over cooked. Horrible

This review focuses on the outdoor area by the river that is open during the summer. The outdoor grill food has significantly improved. There are also gun games and live music available. For special occasions, the indoor space provides a more elegant atmosphere.

Stopped here for pre drinks. They have a nice selection of specialty cocktails and a friendly bartender. We were a party of six, but they were very accommodating to us considering we were just having drinks. They offered for us to sit at a table. Our waiter checked on us several times while we had two rounds. Parking is a bit small. There may be an over flow option, but I'm not certain where. View menu

Went for lunch. Deck was very pleasant and fans everywhere to keep you cool. Service was good not great. A little forgetful. Lemons instead of limes in drink forgot refills at one point. Three out of the meals were very good. However the shrimp in the cocktail was half cooked and inedible. The Dungeness crabs were small and just ok. And not worth the hefty $50 per plate. We will go back few places like this in the area. Being on the river is very calming. We will be ordering different items off the menu.

What a nice evening! The place has a special, historic charm. We chose too sit at the bar. It was a comfortable spot. The bartender, Scott, was great! His service was attentive and he was absolutely sweet. The Charcuterie Board was fantastic! Cheeses and meats paired with figs and other fruits, olives and honeycomb. The perfect start with a glass of wine. My dining partner was not a fan of the blackening spice, but I enjoyed it. The seafood was cooked well and the risotto was delish, served with some sautéed vegetables. The Creme Brûlée was devine. An all around nice evening. I look forward to our next visit.

Afterward, we stepped outside to enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake, dotted with boats in the distance. Once again, we encountered Brian, who kindly took our photo with the sunset as our backdrop—complete with a stunning view of the water, sailboats, and the cheerful sounds of music and laughter surrounding us. Brian spent time chatting with us as if we were old friends. We later returned inside to celebrate my mother's birthday, singing to her at our table, and even had the entire room of guests join in! Our visit ended on a high note when Brian personally came over to wish my mother a happy birthday while she savored his wife's delicious homemade cheesecake. As we left, the valet atte... View menu

Pictured are the oysters and pork chop. Food- I tried their pork chop which was HUGE! Their portions are great and very reasonably priced. I typically order seafood when I dine out but I've heard great things about the pork chop and it didn't disappoint. Sometimes restaurants miss seasoning the sides, as the protein is of most importance and Sugar Hills mash potatoes were delish! The broccoli rabe paired with the dish was equally as well seasoned. I'm not sure that you can go wrong with anything you order there though. Aesthetics-The Inn's aesthetics can be assimilated most similarly to an older Victorian home. It has a homey vibe with all character of an older home (for those who choose to...

Hey Yelp, this place is open. It just changed owners in march. Wow these reviews are all over the map. Good food. Perfectly fine everywhere else. Photos: the scallops app and the pork chop appetizer. Ambiance: this is only for the indoor dining. Super charming, great view. Service: Sadly, meh. I hate knocking servers, but ours wasn't the most attentive (we only got one water refill after everyone at the table had drank all theirs and then an additional 5 minutes, in between courses) and there was another gap after we ordered before he brought out the wine. He also seemed confused on how to best serve our group of 5 and unwilling to walk towards the head to the table where 2 of us were. We al...
