Spring Break = Spring Cleaning. We’ll re-open March 27th.

With the passing of Valentine’s Day, which was absolutely fantastic, it is time for The Creamery’s annual shut-down for spring cleaning, including painting the Inn rooms and installing new equipment.

Valentine’s weekend was a great way to end our first season owning and operating The Creamery! So many people to thank for this first year including you, our special Guests, who by your support allow us to continue to do what we love: serving you locally-sourced, gourmet meals and providing a gathering space for your memorable events, weddings, reunions and parties.

The Vajgrt Family and our staff would like to thank everyone who has enjoyed The Creamery during our first season as owners.

The Creamery Restaurant + Inn will re-open at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 27, 2009.

Chef Brian Griep will be rolling out our new spring menu and we will have our first wine-dinner on Saturday, March 28th.

Here is a sample of our wine dinner menu:

• Cows Milk cheese with micro basil greens, roasted shallot vinaigrette and pine nuts
• Sea scallops with garlic butter, ruby red chard micro greens and thyme blossoms
• Grilled red snapper and asparagus with morel mushrooms, brioche trimmings and parsley
• Rhubarb prosseco fizz and lemon sorbet
• Braised lamb shoulder with wheat grass and fingerling potatoes
• Grilled Bison Tenderloin with charred green onions, pommes anna, garden herb and cabernet sauce

The dinner will be truly outstanding. We will be taking reservations for this dinner with a limit of 60 people So, please make your reservations quickly…we don’t want you to miss out!

Also on April 25th, we will be having a special guest for our April wine dinner!
