Each morning, guests enjoy a chef-prepared à la carte or continental breakfast using fresh eggs from the on-site chicken coop. The breakfast menu changes daily and includes items like lemon-ricotta pancakes, eggs benedict, and waffles with cherry bourbon sauce. In the afternoon, freshly baked cookies are set out, and Bar One serves cocktails and appetizers from 4:00 to 7:30 PM.
