Take a journey back in time and enjoy 18th-century-style dining at the King’s Arms Tavern. You’ll dine in small rooms, lit at night by the flicker of candlelight, while musicians entertain you.
Reservations are taken for dinner only, and those reservations go quickly, so call ahead. Peanut soup ranks high on the list of appetizers; corn and pickle relishes and ham salad arrive at your table automatically at dinner. Entrees include meat or game of the day, seafood, rack of lamb, filet mignon, prime rib, chicken and lobster, and game pie. Desserts are divine, including pecan pie and rice pudding.
