Lanning's Restaurant

Last sat. Was there, our waiter was wonderful, the haddock needed more sauce and the scampis were tough and dry and the salads were wonderful and for the quality of food in compare to 5 star , rather pricey,\r Decor of restrooms have not changed for years also decor overall could be more inviting. more

I recently took my mother out to her pick--Lanning's. She did not make a reservation so I called on the way. I was told that there was a spot available in the piano room which is near the bar. I indicated that I would prefer to be in the main dining room. It was mom's birthday and I wanted it to be special for her. We arrived and I was told a table opened in the dining room. We sat ordered appetizers, dinner, dessert and coffee. Serivce was slow but comfortable. After dessert and as we enjoyed our coffee, I was approached and asked to leave. I was told that we were "accomodated" for an 1.5 hrs. and that we needed to move to the bar. I paid the $100 bill and left without saying much. I did not want to ruin my mon's birthday any further. After I dropped my mom off at home, I called outraged to speak to the manager, I was told I was speaking to the owner and that he stood behind the decision to ask us to leave it was his opinion that we stayed long enough. I did not know the table was booked with reservations and thought it was incredibly rude to ask us to leave. I expressed my outrage and the owner felt it was appropriate to ask us to leave. I will never return. Places like this need not be in business. more

Who, in the heck goes to this place?? After a friend of mine and his wife invited us to go to Lannings one evening, we finally agreed. Our reservations were for 8:00 and we were finally seated at 9:20. Not even an apology by a seemingly uncaring waitress. We finally got to place our orders and they finally arrived at about 10:30. Unbelieveable! After our wallets were fleeced to the tune of over $200.00 (and that didn't even include the tip) my wife and I vowed never to darken their doors again. Possibly the worst experience of dining we have had. Pros: , Nice building front Cons: , Why make reservations, Lack of Customer more
