Congratulations in opening a fine dining experience in the area. You will find plenty of competition and that is the fun part. Good Luck!

The 'Indian Shutters' are still here, and so is the amazing mural! Last year, we hosted a Belknap College reunion, of sorts; they were dedicating a bench in the common, and about 100+/- came over for a luncheon afterward. We were given a great old photo of some of the 'girls' sitting on the porch of their dorm, we gave lots of tours and heard some pretty great tales of college life/shenanigans back in the day!
We'd be happy to have you stop by for dinner, or just a tour! And, of course, we'll expect a good story or two!
