The Colonnade

What a special place the Hope and Glory. Our fine dining experience was lovely… sensitively presented and the chef followed through with all of the promises described. With time and experience, I appreciate consistency more and more. Achieving that level of tenderness with a steak, the delicate balance of herb to sweet and savory, and a dash of originality, along with a local specialty - the oysters- all components of a great meal that I will remember for years to come. Bravo!

What an amazing evening! The food was absolutely incredible and so thoughtfully prepared and presented. The charming atmosphere, complete w/ roaring fire and lovely waitress, truly couldn’t be beat. This night was a beautiful experience. Thank you so much for creating such a lasting memory for all of us. We will be back❤️

My spouse and I came here for our wedding anniversary. The food was exceptional. Literally it was the meal of my dreams. And I have been to Michelin star restaurants. This meal ranked among them. The chef is a beautiful human. She spoke to all of us at the end of the meal and it was so clear she cooked us this amazing meal from her heart. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

What a wonderful experience. The menu is prix fix. The day prior, we were asked our preferences two of the courses. Service was impeccable. Each course was a visual treat and gustatory extravaganza. Most courses included fresh herbs from the kitchen garden; picked during the meal! Wine pairing was extra, but worth the charge. We started with shrimp in a pesto sauce with asiago cheese. The soup was a sweet pea and three onion soup garnished with dill and pansy. The meat course was lamb with a mustard au jus. I had seared scallops over polenta with a butter rosemary sauce. The dessert was a house-made cheesecake with berry coulis.

Every meal that I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed that has been prepared by Chef Meseret Crockett has been truly excellent, and there have been many of them! If I lived even remotely in the area I would not miss an opportunity to dine at The Colonnade!!!!

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.

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!!
