Dining
Our food philosophy is simple — we consistently prepare foods made from the freshest and finest ingredients. Bountiful buffets to private dinners, guided by our team at every step.
Executive Chef Stephen Barck
Three decades of culinary excellence
Chef Barck brings more than thirty years of culinary excellence, a passion for seasonally inspired cuisine, and a deep appreciation for local sourcing — including herbs, lettuce, and vegetables grown in the estate’s own greenhouse gardens, and honey from the MIT Beekeepers’ Club hives on the grounds.
Every menu bends to your table: notify your event planner of any allergies or dietary restrictions and our kitchen will be happy to accommodate.
