We’re handling the food for the big moments—welcome party, reception, etc.—but in-between bites, you’ve got options:
The Rose Tavern is the main restaurant on property serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch all weekend.
The Sand Bar is a great casual eatery for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack and cocktail.
The Library Bar has snacks, drinks, and coffee when you need a quick pick-me-up.
The Pool Shack will be slinging bites during the pool party.
Head’s up: the welcome party is heavy on hors d’oeuvres that we think will be more than filling and satisfying, but it isn’t a full sit-down dinner. If you prefer a bigger meal, feel free to grab dinner beforehand.

Yes! We planned the weekend so no one has to go anywhere unless they want to.
