We moved from Madison several years ago, but always return to the Paoli Schoolhouse when we return for a visit.
I called and left a message with information for a reservations (this has been the process in years past as well). When we arrived, they did not have the reservation because "they didn't check the messages".... (seemed odd since this has never happened before)
We were able to get a table, and were quickly greeted by our server. I was disappointed because one of my favorite items --- a staple on the menu for years --- was no longer offered (Crab Louis Salad). Instead, I had their chicken salad, and frankly I have to say that it was unremarkable. It was good, just not memorable.
Dessert was ordered and was up to expected standards.
We Will be back on our next visit. I have to wonder what has changed over the past year, though. The front desk staff was not as friendly as usual, the items in the boutique/gift area seemed sparse and it just seemed to have a somewhat different vibe than I am used to (having dined there dozens of times over the past ten years). Hopefully, it was just an off day.
