Gourmet Breakfast Offerings
Our breakfast menu is a celebration of the changing seasons and the abundance of our local producers.

The options are as diverse as they are delicious.
We take great pride in sourcing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients for our creations. Our 41-chicken flock and on-site garden provide us with an abundance of farm-fresh eggs and seasonal produce that inspire our daily hot entrée selection.

And of course, our Keurig is always on, offering a variety of gourmet coffee, tea, and hot cocoa to sip on.

For guests who want to do a little shopping, a quick stroll next door is all it takes to stock up on farm-fresh treasures.

By highlighting the natural flavors of our high-quality ingredients, we aim to deliver an eating experience that is both comforting and sophisticated.
