While Benn Conger has always been the place for my husband and I to share important occasions, our daughter recently held a party there. It was fantastic. The private room was nicely decorated, the meal was excellent, and, as usual, Peter, Doug, and the waitstaff fulfilled our every wish. Out of state guests were surprised to see such a high... More

Breakfast was included with the suite. Peter prepared a Quche so fluffy and light, each morsel of sausage and bacon deliciously tempting you to have more. At dinner we were presented with Prime Rib cooked perfectly, Bacon wrapped Pork Medallions and an appetizer of Shrimp with Wasabi Sauce. No complaints on the meal. Tip: Homemade Dinner Rolls would make this... More

We ate dinner at the restaurant prior to my son's graduation the next day. I chose this place because I wanted something special to commemorate my son's achievement. The place is beautiful, and when we walked in, it was very nicely decorated for various graduation parties later that evening. After seeing all that, we anticipated that we were going to... More

At the Benn Conger Inn we always welcome comments and aim to constantly improve. We always try to correct any problems at the time of service and not after the fact. We sincerely appoligize for the disappointment, but it confuses us with the amount of positive feedback we received that night.You can also check our reviews for that weekend and... More

We had a wonderful experience at the Benn Conger yet again, this time celebrating our granddaughter's graduation from Cayuga Community College. Despite the fact that the electricity was off in the village of Groton, the staff welcomed all their guests and served them graciously - fortunately especially for the kitchen staff, the power did come back on. Our prime rib... More

The Benn Conger Inn strikes just the right balance of elegance and comfort. We enjoyed a gourmet luncheon for an amazingly reasonable rate. The Inn has been renovated tastefully from the wood floors to period artwork, to glass doorknobs and is a gorgeous historic setting for any special event. Our guests loved the food, even the vegetarians! Thank you Doug... More

Attended an anniversary party one month after attending a wedding at the Inn. One large event followed by a small event, both were handled with finesse and grace and expertise! Kudos to the owners, Peter & Doug!

Thank-you so much to Peter and Doug and the entire staff at Benn Conger Inn. This last Sunday (2/24/13) was our first trip to this beautiful restaurant. It was to support a fund raiser for our schools chemical and alcohol free "After Prom Party". Most of the meal was prepared and donated by the wonderful staff. Peter and Doug were... More
