Rates include a full hot and cold breakfast buffet, which also includes an omelet station manned by a truly gifted omelet chef. The hot bar includes southern treats like biscuits and gravy, hash browns, ham, sausage, and bacon. Cold breakfast staples include cereals, donuts, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, bagels, and toast. You'll find a make-your-own waffle station, too. Juices, milk, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea area all included, and high chairs are available on request.
You can also get complementary coffee in the lobby throughout the day. Although standard coffee is an option, most guests prefer the inn's tasty White Christmas blend (which is also available for purchase if you want to brew some at home).
Partridge & Pear
Across the street, you'll find the Partridge & Pear, a relatively new restaurant open for lunch and dinner daily and owned by the same family who owns the inn. The Christmas decor (towering trees, hand-painted holly borders, enormous wreaths, angelic frescos, and larger-than-life nutcracker sentinels) will definitely get you humming in no time about lords a leaping and drummers drumming.
The chef here whips up all sorts of company's-coming holiday favorites, including roast turkey with cornbread dressing, tart cherry-glazed ham, pork tenderloin medallions, slow-roasted roast beef, rack of lamb, scallops, tilapia stuffed with crab, lasagna, prime rib, filet, or andouille sausage-stuffed chicken. The less formal lunch menu includes sandwiches, burgers, salads, soups, and wraps, in addition to entrees such as turkey potpie and eggplant lasagna.
The kids' menu includes Elf Noodles (fettuccine) and Tiny Tim's Chicken Tenders, with the addition of Santa's Ho Ho Ho Hamburgers at lunch and of Mrs. Claus' turkey and dressing and Frosty the Pancake for dinner. All kids meals also come with an adorable little stuffed black bear wearing a Santa hat.
Definitely don't leave without ordering dessert. You will be sorely tempted by the Cake of Christmas Past (the recipe is from 1827), while your kids will most likely have their eyes on the five-layered chocolate cake with chocolate icing.
