Flavorful food, made with only the freshest ingredients and artfully presented, is an important tradition at Adair. Our intimate dining room with fireplace and wonderful views of gardens front and back is filled with enticing aromas both morning and night.

Breakfast

Our full breakfast includes not only a buffet of baked granola, yogurt, bananas, a variety of fruit juices, milk, water (both iced and hot), and freshly brewed coffee, but also fresh fruit cup, piping hot popovers, and a hot entrée served at your private table. Farm fresh eggs, apple cider-cured bacon, maple sausage, freshly baked breads, fresh herbs grown at Adair are but a few of the tastes we tempt you with. Culinary skills are in evidence each day from 8:30 to 9:15am, with coffee available for early risers by 7:00am.
