The Restaurant at Meander

Celebrating over 250 years of elegance and congenial tradition, the Restaurant at Meander  invites our guests on a truly historic experience.

The Experience: Since 1766, the forefathers of America dined here, warmed by our fire and illuminated by candlelight. Today we strive to keep that tradition alive by providing a welcoming atmosphere and serving dishes inspired by the local area and our colonial past.

Outdoor and Indoor Dining: We offer limited indoor dining in our historic parlor or private dining rooms.  We also offer outdoor dining on our back porch, fountain patio, or picnic tables on the Meander Lawn with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

A gourmet hot breakfast is offered Wednesday through Sunday mornings, which you have the option of adding to your reservation in advance. One of our front desk agents will also be happy to assist you with adding breakfast to your reservation at check-in.
• Breakfast service is open to the public Saturday and Sunday from 8:30-11:00 am, reservations required

The Menu: The Restaurant at Meander  is a unique dining experience where you can have an entire three-course prix fixe dinner or an a la carte style dinner to create your chosen experience.
