I'll add my vote for the I@LW here.  This past summer 7 friends of
mine came down from Boston and we went to the Inn. (Yes, they came
down just to go to a dinner--we do this every year, but usually around
Boston.)  With a party of 8 things could easily have been
chaotic/confused etc.  but they weren't.  Service was perfect. Each
course was served at the same time for everyone (with 8 servers the
plates were all put on the table at the same time).  Easy to do but
most places don't.  The food was great (although some felt a few of
the sauces were a little sweet).  The desserts were great too! :-) The
price per person including tip (& wine, and cocktails) was ~$135.
Worth every penny.
