The Reluctant Panther Inn & Restaurant

Five New England Hotels With Excellent Food | Eater Boston

"A 20-key luxury hotel in Manchester Village with art-filled rooms across the main house, Carriage House, and Mary Porter House; many rooms include fireplaces and vintage-style sitting rooms, while deluxe suites feature soaking tubs and private outdoor decks overlooking the grounds. The onsite restaurant focuses on contemporary American dinner service with a Wine Spectator–recognized list, emphasizing sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. Notable plates include lobster and brie fondue with pancetta and baguette slivers, crab-stuffed trout with creamy mushroom risotto and chardonnay sauce, and a possible standout grilled filet mignon sourced from Boyden Farm, served with peppered potatoes and a black garlic sauce." - Nathan Tavares
