We love the Inn! We've never had a mediocre meal there. But last night, we walked over in the snow for Lobster Fest, and it was amazing! Although diners wouldn't know it if not relevant to one's diet, each of the 4 courses was gluten-free! Truly, delicious gluten-free food is so appreciated. Last night was wonderful---food, service, friendly staff, and a beautiful view of the snow. Thanks!
