Autumn 2008 Happenings |

What’s New Autumn Harvest Luncheon For those who wish to celebrate the season, we are offering a bountiful Autumn Harvest Luncheon each day until November 23rd. Available all day, this 3 course luncheon, served on our pretty fall leaf plates, is a delight for the senses— especially the taste buds! Included are a cup of our soup of the day, scone with all the goodies, choice of entrée and petite desserts. See our “Special Events” page for all the details
Brunch Starting on August 1st, we began offering a European Inn style breakfast each morning. Don’t expect eggs and pancakes cooked to order, but think of the hearty and delicious meal you might be served after spending the night in a quaint bed and breakfast in Switzerland. Called the Morning Glory Tea, the full meal includes tea or coffee, an orange juice spritzer or sparkling cider, a yogurt sundae with a variety of toppings to select from, scones with all the goodies, your choice of our quiche of the day or a special Chef’s breakfast, and finally an assortment of brunch pastries and fresh fruit. The quiche, chef’s special breakfast and a large yogurt sundae are available as entrées as well. This special morning menu is available from 10:00-11:00 Wednesday through Saturday, and from 10-12:00 on Sundays. Click here to see our new brunch menu.
Gift Shop We have received a variety of new merchandise and have rearranged the shop to make room for the new offerings. Of course fall home décor and tabletop items take center stage, but a lovely line of blue and white china is one of our current favorites, and a cute cake server that looks like a woman’s dress shoe (with removable magnetic heel!) is selling very well too.
Upcoming Closures November 24-28 Closed the week of Thanksgiving to deck our halls for the Holidays. December 22-26 Closed the week of Christmas so that our staff may celebrate the Holiday. January 1 Closed New Years Day
Plan now for December Reservations We have been taking group reservations for the month of December for some time now. There are still plenty of openings, but we do book up during the Holidays, especially for parties larger than four. We will be unable to take any parties larger than ten persons from December 6th through December 28th. We will also be open on Tuesdays in December, except for the 23rd. Our Victorian Christmas Tea will be back (with the sorbet served in a keepsake teacup ornament). See our “Special Events” page for all the details. When making reservations, please be prepared to select either brunch, lunch or high tea. You may change your selection up to the day before your reservation, but due to the volume of customers we will be accommodating, we need to stagger teas and lunches and be sure we have enough food prepared. Also, please note that on weekends, high tea will not be available until brunch service is over. This means the first high tea reservation will be 11:20 on Saturdays, and 12:20 on Sundays, except for the Morning Glory Brunch Tea. I know this sounds complicated, so call us and we’ll be happy to clarify things for you.
