Culinary Heritage

The Settlers Inn Restaurant

The Settlers Inn Restaurant artisan breads, homemade desserts and hand-crafted dishes are designed to take full advantage of the freshest fruits and vegetables of the season provided by local farmers and producers as well as the inn's herb gardens. The wine list won Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence; wine dinners are held year-round. Dine in the warm ambiance of the dining room or Chestnut Tavern. For the ultimate private dining experience, reserve the Ruskin Room. Tucked just beyond the lobby, the private dining room is named for the father of the Arts and Crafts movement. Gather around a table meant for good company and conversation. Enjoy an intimate dinner surrounded by warm wood paneling accented by intricate gold-leaf. Craftsman details abound, from the lighting fixtures to the stained glass panels. Make a selection from the in-room wine cellar. Linger over an elegant six-course chef’s tasting menu featuring seasonal cuisine.

Grant’s Woods

Experience an enchanting evening set among the trees and overlooking the Lackawaxen River. Grant’s Woods is a previously underutilized portion of the six-acre property which has been transformed into a woodland dining experience. Located between the inn’s manicured gardens and the Lackawaxen River, the area boasts posh picnic cabins, hammock chairs, an oversized fire pit, outdoor demonstration kitchen and wicker furniture. Strings of overhead party lights, gravel paths and quaint cabins create a magical forest atmosphere.

Guests are able to enjoy an upscale picnic menu in a beautiful, natural space that’s spread out. There are presently three elaborate picnic cabins. Befitting the core philosophy of The Settlers Inn, each cabin was built utilizing repurposed lumber. Material was sourced from old barns, stables and other properties within Settlers Hospitality. Glamourous décor such as chandeliers and antique furnishings give the cabins a look of rustic elegance. The cabins are covered and enclosed on three sides, with the back wall open to overlook the Lackawaxen River.

culinary tile the settlers inn blooming grove smoked trout

Blooming Grove Brook Trout

When the Inn opened, owner and head chef Grant Genzlinger reached out to local growers and producers to create partnerships that would highlight the bounty of the region in a simple and direct manner. Blooming Grove Brook Trout is sourced directly from a local hatchery that utilizes mountain river troughs. The hatchery dates to the 1880s and is one of the most historic in the United States. Blooming Grove Smoked Trout was featured on The Settlers Inn menu since its opening in 1980. Blooming Grove Brook Trout is served at The Settlers Inn year-round and may be found on the breakfast, brunch, and dinner menus.
