The Colonnade

My mother and I stayed at the Hope & Glory Inn and while there dined at The Colonnade. Chef Meseret gave us a dining experience we will never forget! Her sources for fresh produce and seafood, imaginative use of ingredients, and "just right" portion sizes were paired exquisitely with recommended wines. The meal couldn't have been more pitch perfect. Of special note, was the silky smooth, vanilla essence panna cotta served with a berry coulis for dessert. It was out of this world. I've never been the biggest fan of the dish, but Chef Meseret changed my mind!

In addition to her culinary expertise, she is an excellent hostess and worldly woman. She was so gracious when she came to check on us to inquire about our dinner. I learned how she prepared the panna cotta and she and my mother conversed in German. We also learned Meseret has been at the H&G for 19 years - how fortunate for the the inn! She's a true asset to the H&G as is Heather who did a beautiful job serving us that evening. Bravo ladies!!

My husband and I had the best dinner at The Colonnade! It was four course dining experience and each course was just incredible. It's clear the Chef is so passionate about her work and we appreciated that she came out to chat with dining guests. The suggested wine pairings were really great as well. Heather did a great job of making sure we were always taken care of. Can't wait to come back!

Through business I’ve dined at Michelin 2 & 3 star restaurants including others among the best in many of the major cities on both coasts. Each having differing menus and atmospheres, but all providing exceptional experiences. Chef Meseret Crockett and the Colonnade provided us with a dining experience equal to any of the other top restaurants I’ve dined with! The meal was passionately prepared and a gastronomical delight, the atmosphere is period-reflective bright and comfortable, and the service was excellent.

One of the best meals you will ever enjoy made by an impressive and seasoned chef who is passionate about creating a very special dining experience.
