Rehearsal Dinner Food Menu Offerings
Our menus highlight seasonal produce and our personal touch for flavorful dishes unique to our location in Mays Landing. We are sandwiched between towns that border the shoreline, such as Atlantic City and Ocean City, and towns further from the shoreline, Buena Vista, Richland, and Hammonton. This enables our Executive Chef to partner with local facilities and offer one-of-a-kind culinary experiences for our guests.
Even your most picky eaters will satisfy their hunger during your celebration! Does blueberry pancakes and individual quiche Lorraine make your mouth water? What about beignets and shrimp risotto?
