A beautiful historic inn featuring a fine-dining restaurant experience and bar.
Favorites: everything on the restaurant menu is elevated to the next level, including the prices—but it’s well worth it for a special occasion. If you want to enjoy the space without breaking the bank, I recommend going to the bar to order a drink and enjoy the ambiance. “Pink Panther” cocktail is a personal favorite.
