The quintessential European Country Inn Dining experience. Warm & Welcoming “The Elderberry House” exudes Elegance & Refinement. Ambiance abounds in this hillside retreat. We’ve dined there since Erna first opened the Inn, a premiere dining venue and the “Château du Sureau” is the perfect compliment for that special celebration or weekend sojourn.

My wife and I love this restaurant! The service is always friendly, informative and timely to the point of perfection. The food is amazing and well portioned for a multi-course meal. The wine pairing is a must and compliments the food well. Grab a cocktail, enjoy the experience and let yourself be pampered.

We went for our 30th wedding anniversary and well worth the experience and food. They created a menu with printout of our anniversary and had extras before and after the 5 course meal. Everything tasted exquisitely. Staff were very accommodating and attentive. Have to go for a rare celebration!
