“Inn Tastings”…Incredible!
The Library Bar at The Bernards Inn is a great place to enjoy live piano music nightly and do a bit of people-watching while experiencing the excellent bar menu presented by Executive Chef Corey Heyer. Now, Chef Heyer enhances the experience with his new “Inn Tastings” menu. Inn Tastings are smaller plate presentations of appetizers and entrées selected from the dining room’s ala carte menu. It’s a great alternative when you can’t decide on just one dish. Now you can choose two, three or even more. So, if it’s for people watching, the piano music or a bit of both I invite you to take a seat at the bar, savor a glass of wine from Wine Director Terri Baldwin’s outstanding selection of wines by the glass and delight in our Inn Tastings. Great food, great wine, great music…incredible! |
