Evening Dining at Weathertop
Our Display at Feast of the Field

For Weathertop guests & their friends, our restaurant is open seasonally for evening dining. We serve an eclectic selection of reasonably-priced entrees, many of which are personal favorites discovered during our world travels. To complement your dining experience, we offer local microbrews and an extensive selection of fine wines from around the world. Since our restaurant is not open to the public and we limit the number of tables served, you can expect personalized service in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. Once you book a table, it is yours for the evening...

While some of our most popular entrees are on the menu year round, we also offer frequently changing specials which depend upon the season and the availability of choice ingredients. Click here to view our menu. Be sure to check our daily menu board, or ask your innkeepers, for the day's selections and specials. Got a personal favorite from a prior visit? We will be happy to prepare it if the ingredients are available! For those with "simpler tastes", many of our meat and fish offerings can be plainly grilled or baked - just ask.

We will gladly cater to most special dietary needs with advance notice. Please let us know of any allergies or dietary restrictions at time of booking - the sooner we know, the more accommodating we can be. A vegetarian offering is not a standard item on our menu; however, one can easily be added upon request.

For your convenience, we also offer a Weathertop Dining Package that can be included with your lodging.
