Please join us for an exciting weekend of Valentine events! We are thrilled to be offering four nights of dining with Chef Jim McCullough, February 11-14. Last week our wine dinner sold out, so please make your reservations early for this special evening of fine dining and romance. When making your reservations, be sure to reserve one of the tables next to the warm fire.

The Valentine’s Dinner menu includes some of my personal favorites: coconut shrimp, seared ahi tuna with tequila lime drizzle, grilled filet mignon, and, of course a southern girl’s favorite, fresh key lime pie with grand mariner whipped cream!

Chef Jim will also feature some Valentine specials during our regular lunch hours, Monday through Friday from 11:00-2:00. Come by and try Chef Jim’s unique soups, salads, and sandwiches. Don’t miss Pastry Chef Pat Chiavetta’s mouth-watering desserts to complete your Valentine’s Day!

If you book soon, you can even spend the night in one of our ten beautifully appointed guest rooms. A complimentary glass of wine will be served upon check in, and you’ll find Pastry Chef Pat’s house- made Scottish Salted Chocolate Oatmeal cookies in the hallways. Wake up to a local favorite, Greenberry’s French Roast Coffee. Enjoy our amazing breakfast baked by Pastry Chef Pat. Her quiches are so creamy that I am constantly told, “this is the best quiche I have ever eaten”! Pat does her own twist on a Bread Pudding, made with fresh baked croissants and local ingredients. Like a French toast, it is seared to perfection. On the healthier side, we also offer a cold buffet featuring our house made muesli, fresh fruit, local yogurt, cottage cheese, and fresh squeezed orange juice. We also serve Pat’s amazing breakfast breads.

The Inn at Court Square is located in the oldest house in downtown Charlottesville. Built in 1785, the Inn is furnished with beautiful antiques that are for sale throughout the comfortable interiors. The Inn faces the famous Stonewall Jackson Statue located in Court Square and is located just two blocks from the pedestrian promenade, a short walks from some of Charlottesville’s best restaurants, antique shops, locally owned boutiques, coffee houses, and ice cream shops.

I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the kind of love my parents shared during their 54 years together!

I look forward to seeing you this week for some of our Valentine’s offerings!
