Breakfast
Are you tired of being served the normal restaurant bacon and egg menu items when you’re traveling? Do you like the serve yourself continental breakfasts that are starting to be more commonplace in hotel venues? Would you like to try something better?
Breakfast is a real treat at Down By The River Bed and Breakfast. If you have read our reviews, you will find that many of our guests have commented on the wonderful breakfasts that they have had while staying here. When we opened in 2005, our philosophy for breakfast at Down By The River was to make your breakfast a dining experience. Angie and I are committed to continue this philosophy, to be different, to set ourselves apart, and provide you a tantalizing taste experience that you will remember long after you have left Down By The River and traveled back home.
One of the questions that we get from potential guests concerns what we serve for breakfast. Here is a brief summary of what you can expect on a typical morning. We serve our guests family style at “The Table” so that the guests get to talk with each other and dine together. This leads to some fascinating conversations and stories during and after breakfast. Before you start, we will have coffee or tea at the ready. Prior to the breakfast, we serve a fruit smoothie. The main entrée follows and we explain what we have made for you. After breakfast many of the guests sit around the table and continue their discussion.
The main entrée that you will be served varies daily and we provide you with a different entrée every day that you are here as a guest. When you are a returning guest, we also endeavor to vary our menu from your last visit.
The breakfast entrées we serve are soufflés, quiches, various forms of French toasts, crepes, southwestern and specialty egg dishes, fruit or nut pancakes, waffles or recipes of our own making. Every once in a while, we do some creative cooking and experiment when we find a recipe that meets our standard.
To provide you with a meal that you will enjoy, we check with our guests to see if they have any dietary restrictions. We will endeavor to provide for your special request but please let us know about them at the time of the reservation so that we can be properly prepared. If you are reserving the room online, please make a notation in the area that we ask for special requests. We have done special orders for vegans, vegetarians, and requests for low salt, sugar free, lactose and gluten free meals.
