Fine dining and gourmet cuisine is utmost in importance to innkeepers Rob and Mary Laceby and fresh Nova Scotia fare is the specialty.

Dinner

A four course dinner is available by advanced reservation each evening at 7:30 to room guests and others. The menu changes each evening, and the cost is $39.50 per person. Menu selections are made at the time of the reservation. A selection of international wines is available to complete the dinner. The wine list follows the typical dinner menu below. Cocktails start at 6:45

The dinner always begins with soup. The second course, the salad course, features fresh garden fare. For the main course, there is always a choice between two entrees, either a seafood fresh from Maritime waters and a meat or chicken alternative. The lush garden fare is again highlighted during the main course with the accompanying vegetables. At dessert, guests learn why dessert is Donna's favorite part of the meal, and there is always a choice of a chocolate and an alternate dessert for those looking for something lighter. Here is a typical dinner menu. It will include a loaf of homemade bread.
