AAA Inspector Notes
Historic. Patrons dine in grace and style in the elegant dining rooms of Second Empire, which is in the restored 1879 Dodd-Hinsdale House. The monthly changing menu features contemporary American cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. For a special culinary treat, reservations can be made to dine at the chef's table in the kitchen. Downstairs in the tavern, guests find a more relaxed atmosphere and casual menu.
