Belvidere Mansion

The first floor of the mansion is a restaurant with a small gift shop.  If you have time I advise eating!  The second floor is where all the magic is preserved.  The details in the two living quarters are in my opinion exquisite.  Their beds, their clothing, their tubs...all so much smaller than present day and the intricacy of each pieces craftmanship, wow!  I would love to see the rest of the floor restored.  The third floor was under some sort of construction.  If you love looking at old architecture and how people once lived this is a great little spot to be transported!

This is a great place for a nice soup, salad, sandwich luncheon. Terrific ambience, excellent service, high quality food at unbelievably inexpensive prices. I'll be back the next time I pass through town!

My cousin and I ate here last week. The service was drastically different than last time...and not in a good way.When we arrived, the power went out right away. They went on ahead and seated us. We were told we could not have a baked potato or soup since the electricity was out. So we decided on sandwiches and salads. I ordered a Regency roast with cheese and a strawberry salad. I requested my sandwich with just cheese and meat. She ordered a ham sandwich and a Windsor salad. We received muffins before lunch. Last year, the muffins were a decent size; now they were tiny. Our lunches came with kettle chips which were excellent. The sandwiches were smaller than we expected. Mine had mayonaise on it which I dislike intensely. I wiped it off before eating the sandwich. The salads were good and the sampler dessert was the best part. I used a groupon to pay and even then, it was pricey; 31.00. We may not come back for a while.

I've been back two more times and got pumpkin muffins which were just as delicious. I toured the house on one of those visits. My friend who went with me actually lived in the house many years ago when it was divided into individual apartments.

Love this place. I come here often. The food is good with quite a variety of lunch entrées for a tea room. The historic, early 1900s mansion atmosphere is charming. The servers are courteous and friendly. There is a lovely boutique/ gift shop with unusual treasures, and guests are invited to tour the historic mansion at their leisure. The home and family history are quite interesting. And proceeds go to the historic mansion preservation efforts. Everybody wins.
