If you are looking for an historic dining experience with ambiance and good food in Salem County, then you need to try Ye Olde Centurion Inn, with a circa 1706, 18th century ambiance.

When compared to other Salem County restaurants, the prices are a bit higher, but given the quality the value is good.

This historic inn dates back to 1706 when it was a former stage coach stop between Philadelphia and Greenwich, NJ. Beneath the inn are the graves of three Revolutionary War soldiers.

Don't be put off by the exterior --- it needs freshening up. The interior has six different colonial dining rooms upstairs and downstairs and depending on where you are seated it can be either romantic and quiet or fairly noisy. If you are looking for a romantic quiet spot, ask to be seated in the Hearth Room at table "53" near the fireplace.

Under ownership by the Goode Family, the food continues to be of superior quality and preparation.

The extensive well-executed menu selections are creative using seasonal, locally grown ingredients

Save room for dessert, they have an excellent selection of bread and pastries.
