Review from AustinSLin ..

Roger Sherman Inn's restaurant is an establishment in a colonial-era inn and a traditional, historical destination for New Canaan-ites and other Fairfield County folk.
Service is impeccably white tablecloth---attentive crews of well-coordinated wait-staff are deployed to serve each table as if you were the only customers in the entire inn, even if it's packed to the colonial rafters.
Coming here for a prix fixe brunch invites you to explore the varying brunch menu as prepared by the chef. The "Crepe complete" was a crisp origami of ham and Gruyere cheese. A foie gras appetizer is generously portioned and buttery without the salt-shock and is paired with toast.
Like the prix fixe menu, the dessert menu will likely have something for everyone in your pair or party. An apple gratin offered on the day of my visit is a nice "crustless" cobbler ,skipping the pastry shell straight for the good stuff: the baked apple chunks buried beneath the ginger ice cream.
The dining room can accommodate everything from cozy corner tables for two to large post-Sunday church service crowds to entire wedding receptions. Parking immediately on the property fills up fast -- there is also a large lot across the street--just look both ways and cross gingerly as the traffic on the straight-away that is Oenoke Ridge road can be quite the high-speed parade of SUVs and Mercedes.
Prix fixe menus are upwards of $28 per person, not including drinks or coffee or dessert. The prix fixe brunches vary from $28 and up--the menu varied by the chef on the day of your visit. Some items, like the foie gras appetizer, come at an additional $6 upcharge. Mimosas are $11 each. The apple gratin dessert was $12. -

Used to be great. Had many a Xmas Eve dinner there.
Now good for post-funeral food or out-of-towners trying to impress their friends by having a wedding reception on the porch.
I believe it is also used for Kiwanis meetings.
Kinda lost its charm and taste. -

Just a so-so experience. For the money ($200 + $80 for a cot), I'd have hoped for a nice room and a better breakfast. Looks like the hotel could use some TLC.

Went for their Sunday brunch. Brunch was very nice - the waitstaff were excellent, plates cleared promptly etc. The food was very good, I had the eggs benedict and everything was perfect. It does have the feel of being popular among the retirees. Brunch is a 3 course fixed price (35) and the desserts were by far the most lacking.
