Old Colonial Inn — Restaurant in Kentland

The Old Colonial Inn is a very nice little restaurant, and my wife and I had a great time.

The restaurant is located inside of an old hotel, and if you like historical settings, then you'll love the vintage feel of this place. The hotel rooms don't seem to be used for anything anymore, although it seems like it would make a great B&B.

They have a small but tasty menu of dishes, and the prices might be a tad high, but not terrible. The size of the portions could be a little bigger, especially the salads, which seemed unusually small for some reason. The quality of the food, however, was first rate.

After such a pleasant experience we strolled along the...

What an amazing place! Beautiful, well-restored old hotel, full of neat historical photos. But the best part is the food! Our dinners were cooked to perfection, and presented with impeccable, friendly service in a wonderful setting. So many terrific choices on the menu, it's hard to pick one. You won't find a better meal in Chicago! And did I mention the reasonable prices?? And the neat bar scene? I'm not sure how it took us so long to find this classic gem, but we'll be back again and often! Make Kentland your next dinner destination. You...
