Dining Description:

Dining at the Hartstone Inn is a truly memorable experience. From a sumptuous breakfast to a five-course gourmet dinner, Chef Michael will pamper you with delectable foods from his kitchen. Select a wine from our Wine Spectator Award Winning cellar list to accompany your dinner or one of the many beers available. If you are celebrating a special occasion, it would be our pleasure to help you plan every detail. Just give us a call.

Our dinner menu, which changes daily, is a five course prix fixe menu and is written after a morning trip to the markets. Chef Michael chooses fresh local ingredients (freshly caught seafood, gathered wild mushrooms, locally made goat cheese) as much as possible and writes the menu based on these ingredients.  We also take into consideration allergies and personal preferences gathered from the guests when the dinner reservation is made.
