Crippen's Country Inn and Restaurant Review

The restaurant's sophisticated cuisine is one of the reasons people stay at Crippen's Country Inn. The spacious dining area with circular tables offers a surprising amount of intimacy despite the crowds. The menu changes daily, offering many creative delights. Ever had Coca-Cola-marinated kangaroo or chocolate steak with Bailey's sauce? You may begin with a shrimp brûlée, pan roasted with blue-spot prawns, or a crispy duck confit with spring rolls and peanut-ginger dressing. Chef's specialties include chili-rubbed grilled rib-eye steak, and sesame-seared yellowfin tuna. Reservations are essential. The inn also rents nine guest rooms, each of which is comfortable and well furnished; prices range from $139 to $169 (double occupancy).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
