Delightful wait staff; excellent food nicely presented; interesting decor in this most unique restaurant venue. High end prices but quality supports the prices in a rather limited but excellent menu

We stayed in the Wheeler cabin for a weekend anniversary trip. It was cute, rustic and authentic. Comfortable - no. The bed was hard, like concrete. The bathroom was tiny and the plumbing had issues. We have definitely stayed in much nicer B&Bs. We did very much enjoy the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Fantastic food and service. Great wine... More

Lunched here. The sandwiches were ok but not fantastic as we thought they would be based on reviews. Sandwiches cost approx $ 9 - 10 and are accompanied by cole slaw (with way too much salad dressing) and very greasy french fries. The building has been here forever & is decorated with antiques. If you are in the area, you... More

Way too expensive for what you get. Good food but overpriced. Between the first time I went (very good food -5+yrs ago) to the last time...the food was okay.

We ate at the Story Inn recently. We ordered a deliciously light house salad, which they split for us in the kitchen. My companion ordered the filet, which was lovely. I ordered the lamb chop, which was tough and had to be returned to the kitchen. To allow us to dine together while changing my entree order to a filet,... More

You will wait most usually as you will anywhere else but the taste of melt in your mouth yummy is worth the... More

The road to the restaurant is very winding but a beautiful drive. The service was excellent and the food very good. The building itself is very quaint and interesting as is the surrounding area. Will be eating here again in the fall (if not before then as well) as I have reservations already made to stay in the Inn during... More

Really it was one of the neatest restaurants I have ever been too. We drove almost 30 minutes from Bloomington just to try it and it was WELL worth it. I have been looking for a reason to go back ever since. I love that they go local on everything!

One of a kind place, most everything is locally grown or bought. Very unique in that it's the only thing in town other than the cabins they rent out. Food is above average and even though the menu is somewhat limited it's worth the scenic and I mean scenic drive
