Picture a quaint Country Inn surrounded by a view of woodlands and mountains. Now imagine listening to the gentle gurgling of a springtime brook as it makes its way beneath your window. Let your mind wander to a quiet winter's starry night and the silent sound of falling snow. One can delight in the friendly call of fluffy chickadees as they gather their seeds. In the early summer, you can fall asleep to the sound of peepers as the smell of lilacs and honeysuckle come wafting through your open window.
At the Meeting House, Chef Mathew a Graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, uses his experience to prepare "eclectic new world cuisine" with a focus on local ingredients at their peak of seasonality. We use fresh vegetables and herbs for our menu items, and in the spring and summer, we are able to take advantage of our own vegetable and herb gardens. Wines were carefully selected to compliment our Menu items thus creating a total evening of gastronomy. Meals are prepared individually and because of the great care in this process, dining is a leisurely experience. Seasonally we take advantage of our gardens to provide especially fresh herbs and garnishes.
