The Old Angeler's Inn is located on the way to the C&O canal park.  It is about 1 1/2 mile before the park entrance on a curve on the road.

My wife and I went to the Old Anglers' Inn for lunch.  It is French and will set you back a bit.  Our lunch was over $50 before tip.  It was very formal except for the pepper grinder.  We were amused with the waiter who pressed a button on a cylander which made a high pitched grinding sound and turned on a small light.  This electric pepper grinder/flashlight really seamed out of place in this very old fashioned building (about 200 years old).

I might go back but it would have to be a special occasion and I would be ready to drop $75-$100 on dinner, dessert, and drinks.  I might also mention that we had been walking the C&O canal and were a *bit* underdressed for the place.
