Frommer's Staff

With the feel of an English farmhouse -- white-painted wood walls, wood-burning stove, dimly lit old-fashioned lamps, country antiques -- this cozy country setting is the perfect venue for delicious comfort food and friendly service. Mornings start with a cup of strong coffee and breakfast: omelets and eggs Benedict piled high with potatoes, pancakes, and granola. Dinner might include grilled chicken with mushrooms and a garlic Marsala sauce; roasted rack of lamb with a panko crust; prime New York steak with macadamia nut risotto; and roast duckling with brandy, peppercorn, and molasses sauce.
