I honestly love this place! I've never had a bad experience. It is a little pricy BUT they use amazing, clean ingredients and they source from local farmers. Such a cute environment, especially if you go when it's nice outside (their patio is so cute!!)! You definitely feel like you're in a different city when you're inside, so cool. The food is sooo good. You MUST try their cauliflower wings and their spinach and artichoke dip. SO GOOD one of my favorite dishes is their stuffed shells. Freakin amazing. And their deserts are made daily in house too! Last time I was there I had their chocolate fudge cake with a scoop of their homemade ice cream and it was so good. Their pizza is fantastic, their zucchini meatballs.. I've had stuff I like more than others but have never been disappointed here. 4 stars instead of 5 because I have had a few dishes come out incorrectly (example asked for no peppers and it came with) but that's it. Food is amazing, service is nice, cool environment, and you have to love the way they source and cook their food. One of my favorite places for sure!

What a nice find! Really tastefully done decor. Rustic chic. Beautiful original brick and hand hewn wood beam ceilings.....oh yea the food is really great too! Homemade everything. Small breakfast selection, lunch salads and sandwiches. Very nice selection of homemade pies and cakes for dessert. Fresh squeezed juice and friendly staff. A patio for outdoor seating and seating inside for about 60. A pleasant surprise!

You know that term "hidden gem"? Well, this is a hidden gem! The decorations. WOW! So unique, beautiful and nice! The place is beautiful inside and out! It is one of the nicest decorated places I've ever been in. Very unique. It makes you feel high class and at same time comfortable. The food was very good! Honestly, if they offered a couple meats, I'd give it a 5. I am not vegan, vegetarian. However, even without any meat options this place is still worth going to. It is almost an hour drive here and it is worth it. I'll be back. I want to have dinner on the patio, a drink at that bar. Might even go early and get massages at the spa. One thing I thought would be nice to have is a variety of coffees and teas. This atmosphere is perfect for coffee and tea drinking. You know, beautiful atmosphere, comfortable, the oldest brick building in Ohio... If you're looking for something unique & different, a hidden gem, then check this place out. BTW, if you're a bicyclist bring your bikes and hit the 10 mile paved, wooded trail!

The husband and I tried the courthouse Inn tonight For date night. Plain and simple, you must like veggies or pasta to enjoy eating here. We happen to love both! We were exquisitely surprised by the presentation and overall experience. The decor was not our style but it was kinda fun retro gaudy Poconos if you might. Definitely a date night restaurant. A few women came in with a toddler while we were there, but otherwise,it's not really family friendly. Different decor is fine with me as long as the food is good. We are not vegetarians but we are adventurous eaters. This restaurant offers experiences that I can hardly believe I could experience in Lisbon, Ohio. From purple sweet potatoes to purple cauliflower ...... yes naturally purple and not dyed because I asked. We had the spinach artichoke dip and I would return just for that dip. My husband had the meatloaf that consisted of mushrooms and artichokes while I had the autumn Wellington that we both agreed was a great pick. The food was filling and we left feeling good about what we had ate. We Also tried some cocktails with our meal and the lavender lemonade and fall sangria were refreshing and so good. We left knowing we had a culinary experience that we had not had yet before. The service was also spectacular. Just a good note to know, desserts are served to dining in patrons only.

The Courthouse Inn and Restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and elegant with the highest quality of food! The entire restaurant has various decorations and artwork that have beautiful meaning and history to them. There is a gorgeous outdoor patio, and the restrooms are like a work of art, covered in crystal-like mirrors. Service was excellent with very friendly and hard-working staff members. There are lots of healthy choices and vegetarian options here, unlike most places in the area. It is really nice to be able to see some unique menu items here. The food was phenomenal! We shared a few different appetizers among everyone at the table, and I ordered the Margherita Pizza. You can definitely taste how fresh the ingredients are in the food. Everything was delicious, and I will absolutely come back to try out other menu offerings. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Hands down, the Courthouse Inn is the best restaurant I have been to in recent memory. To set the stage: I have lived in a suburb between NYC and Philadelphia for most of my life. I have had the pleasure of eating at many incredible restaurants in both of these major cities, and enjoyed every forkful from those meals. The Courthouse Inn meets or exceeds every single one of the best meals I have had at any restaurant throughout my life. From the first course we received from the kitchen, we were hooked. The plating was absolutely beautiful and was only surpassed by the flavor. We started with the Baked Brie, which was served with sautéed sweet onions and caramelized apples. A side of local baked bread accompanied the dish which perfectly paired with the plates flavor palate. We were surprised by the size of the portion, it was certainly enough to leave a table of 4 satisfied. It was not long after that we were served our salads, which were also carefully plated in true artistic fashion. Again, a generous portion which was a pleasant surprise. Fresh, crisp and a diverse selection of local produce accompanied the house made dressings. Up next, we were served our entrees. I selected the Jalapeño Mac & Cheese, and she ordered the Gnocchi. This is the part that set the whole night apart from anything we've ever experienced. The Gnocchi was house made, lightly fried and AMAZINGLY presented. (See pic). It was every bit as delicious as it looks, and I gratefully accepted a share offer. My Mac & Cheese was perfectly textured, and creamy. The Jalapeño flavor was delicate in the plate, reminiscent of some of the best stuffed peppers I've ever had. Again, enormous portion and I took half of it home with me. We never get dessert. Never. Today was different, as we needed top the night off with something from the dessert menu. We'd come this far, we needed to see it through. We ordered the banana cake, and we were not let down. Again, portions were huge (glad we decided to split it!) The "cream cheese" frosting married perfectly to the expertly baked banana cake. We left happy, and we even decided to bring two slices of pie home to our babysitters as a future bribe. While speaking with our server, we discovered another huge surprise. Their chef has not had any formal culinary training, and he comes up with the menu based on what fresh local produce is procured for the day. Chef does this from scratch, with no formal training. Mind blown. The final surprise came with our check. We had 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 3 craft beers, and 3 desserts (honest, we only ate 1). Our check was less than $100. I was certain there was a mistake, but everything was itemized on the bill, and it was all there. Lisbon, you have a gem in the Courthouse Inn. This was truly the most memorable restaurant experience of my life, and it immediately has become my favorite restaurant. I'm sorry that it took so long to discover, but we will be back at every opportunity.

Absolutely delicious! It's very difficult to find quality vegetarian food in this area. The food is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. My folks are carnivores but they love this restaurant. It seems as though they go more often than I do. The atmosphere is great. It's sort of upscale casual...if that makes sense. Dress up or down, you won't feel out of place. From the bar to the bathrooms, this place is stunning.
