Shakertown Trustees'office Inn

We made reservation for 6pm which was perfect because after we finished eating and talking the sun was going down and it was beautiful around the village. There isn't very much to choose from on the menu. Each dish is about $15, they come with bottomless family portions of sides. I tried salsify (which they make in a creamy casserole) for the first time and loved it. Our waiter was excellent and very informative, telling us how many things related to the Shakers. He brought us out a bowl of raw vegetables...tomatoes, olives, okra, celery, cauliflower, etc. and a bowl of cornbread sticks and yeast rolls. We ordered the recommended celery/tomato soup which they have served since the restaurant opened in the 60's. I would have given 5 stars but we did have a slight issue with our fried fish...not completely cooked. But we were pleasantly surprised when they gave us our meals for free which they didn't have to do...we didn't complain. Needless to say, our waiter received quite a big tip. I think that even if you're a picky eater, you should still give it a try. It's an experience as well as a meal.
