Gatsby Room

For those evenings that you don't want a full four-course meal, yet don't want to sacrifice fine food, wine and ambience, join us in the Gatsby Room. After a long day of beaching and biking, what's more perfect than sharing a few appetizers or enjoying a filling yet not over-sating entrée like a petite filet mignon or stripped bass dish? If you chose an early dinner and passed on dessert, feel free to come back and delight in one of our home made treats.

Upstairs Parlor

Appetizers, tableside flaming Coffees, after dinner drinks and desserts are served nightly in the Upstairs Parlor, Front Porch and Back Deck of the Hotel Manisses.
