Candlelit tables, exceptional service, and a creative tasting menu made with the finest ingredients, make this place one of my favorite experiences.
AAA Inspector Notes
Historic. Rustic, elegant décor is the hallmark of this beautifully restored barn. The menu changes weekly, with an emphasis on outstanding New American cuisine. While the dress code is business smart—jackets are preferred for gentlemen—the atmosphere is still relaxed. Floor-length table linens, formally attired staff and a grand piano wonderfully contrast with the historic nature of the barn, the memorabilia in the hayloft, the artisan silverplated table sculptures and the shiny copper bar top. A four-course prix fixe, a seven-course chef's tasting menu, and an eight-course chef’s blind tasting menu are each curated using the best seasonal options of the day; each course may be paired with select vintages from their extensive wine cellar, if desired. If you're hoping for a table during peak dining hours, plan well in advance. The Little Barn is also available for lunch (during the high season) and dinner featuring a lighter fare a la carte menu. A mini three-course prix fixe menu is also an option and inspired from the main dining room. The inn and dining room typically close the first half of January.
