The Barnard Inn Restaurant & Max's Tavern
The Barnard Inn Restaurant & Max's Tavern Review
The dining room in this 1796 brick farmhouse breathes 18th century, but the food is decidedly 21st century. Former San Francisco restaurant chef-owners Will Dodson and Ruth Schimmelpfennig create inventive three-and four-course prix-fixe menus ($65-$75) with delicacies such as venison carpaccio and chili and sesame encrusted ahi tuna. In the back is a local favorite, Max's Tavern, which serves upscale pub fare such as beef with Gorgonzola mashed potatoes and panfried trout with almond beurre noisette (browned butter).
