We will be glad to make recommendations, and we have copies of menus from many of the restaurants at the inn. Carolyn's favorites for dinner are Maggie's Galley for the blackened grouper and Big Mountain BBQ for ribs. Dina's favorites are The Sweet Onion Restaurant for their outstanding crab cakes and Nick and Nate's Pizzeria for the spinach and feta pizza. We both love The Chef's Table. Carolyn's favorite there is the mountain trout and Dina's is the lamb. For lunch, Carolyn & Dina recommend Nico's Cafe for their mojo pork sandwiches and Panacea for their awesome soup and sandwich combos.
