The Brick Tavern Inn

A happy marriage of history and hospitality transitions gracefully into a third century of service to hungry and thirsty guests. Executive Chef Scott Carpenter plays to the season with an evolving selection of fine and casual fare sparked with global accents. Staple dishes encompass signature Brick Tavern Mushroom Bisque (also available to purchase by the quart) and in-house smoked specialties like Chicken Wings and Beef Brisket. A menu mainstay for decades, Brick Tavern Crab Cakes – made from “our famous recipe” – attracts devoted fans with tender morsels of premium quality lump crabmeat that happens to be sustainably sourced. Order the generous 8-ounce cake as a 1- or 2-piece entrée with seasonal sides, a house remoulade-topped sandwich on a brioche bun, or a protein enhancement to a salad. The cozy bar dispenses bottled and tap beer, wine by the glass or bottle, and rejuvenating craft cocktails.

A gluten-free Vegetarian Entrée du Jour accentuates local flavors, such as this Zucchini Cannelloni, with roasted eggplant-stuffed slices of summer squash. A bed of red and white quinoa and roasted cherry tomato and basil sauce complete this vibrant picture. 

the ambiance
At this pleasurably pastoral retreat, dress up or down to suit your mood. While the inn exudes 200 years of rustic charm, the outdoors more-than-earns the term “great.” A handsome, fully covered flagstone veranda (with heating, when needed) features a gracious shaded pergola, lush landscaping, and exhilarating country air.
