The Brick Tavern Inn

With authentic warmth and character acquired through more than two centuries of hospitality, this bucolic retreat feeds diverse appetites at lunch and dinner with New American fare laced with global and regional tastes – such as fan-favorite Blackened Salmon Florentine. A Creole-style seasoning rub (only moderately spicy!) creates a beautifully bronzed pan-seared fillet presented atop veggie-studded rice. For an impressive finish, sautéed spinach, tomato, and colorful diced bell peppers are simmered in a fragrant white wine sauce. The entire menu, spanning casual handhelds to fine-dining entrées, remains available for curbside pick-up during normal business hours. And you can stock your fridge with several premise-made “To Go” classics, from house dressings and BBQ sauce to addictive Brick Tavern Inn Mushroom Bisque.

While developing new dishes and putting fresh emphasis on local sourcing of proteins and produce, General Manager Kenny Hicklin and Chef Jeff Wagaman fully respect the Inn’s signature menu items. Our famous recipe, Brick Tavern Inn Crab Cakes and house-smoked specialties – including mesquite-infused Chicken Wings, Beef Brisket, and, of course, bacon – endure as essential staples. The return of house favorite Blackened Chicken Penne Pasta, coupled with the arrival of Fresh Catch of the Day specials, allows the Inn to offer the best of vintage and new cuisine. The chef’s expanded list of innovative starters is popular at a cozy, full-service bar that boasts enticing seasonal cocktails.

Multiple dining rooms offer distinctive environments, from homey hearthside intimacy to a sunny, abundantly windowed porch. Three of the spaces are able to host private events for 14 to 32 guests. While the overall vibe is business casual, guests may dress up or down to suit their comfort level. And be sure to check out live music on Thursday evenings.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the handsomely appointed and beautifully landscaped patio. The covered area – nestled in a pastoral locale – remains comfortable well into autumn thanks to a new furnace that gently blows warm air onto the patio. Superb parties can be booked in this sylvan setting during daytime hours and select evenings.
