In addition to featuring hearty winter fare designed to warm Inn guests this season, The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls just announced that it is now offering all of its entrees as ala carte selections. Entrees start at only $16 and can be upgraded to a three-course dinner for just $8 more. Ala carte, appetizers, salads and soups start at $4 and feature the Inn’s Wisconsin Cheese Ball & Olive Tapenade Basket, Smoked Duck Flatbread, Goat Cheese & Sherry Ciabatta Toast Points, House Made Soup of the Day, The Inn’s House Salad, Champagne-Pear Salad and Caesar Salad.

"We find that some of our guests, particularly those who are staying with us for two or more nights, may want to eat a little lighter at times," Innkeeper Ellen Grinsfelder said. "We've arranged our new menu so guests can choose just an appetizer and soup or salad if they like; or they may wish to split an entree," Grinsfelder added. "This way, they'll feel more comfortable splurging with one of Chef Anthony's amazing desserts, which really should not be missed."

In winter, the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls dining room is open for full-service dining Wednesday through Sunday. A gourmet picnic basket is available for dinner Monday and Tuesday evening.

"This is no ordinary cold sandwich picnic," said Grinsfelder. "Our picnic baskets are designed to enjoy in your cabin or cottage and are really something special. They include such Inn favorites as Rock Cornish Hen and other delicacies."

The Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls’ staff is highly knowledgeable about the menu and its preparation, which features local, fresh and organic ingredients. They're also skilled at pairing the perfect wine from the Inn's impressive wine list with any dish. (Wine is now available daily, including Sundays.) Each entrée on the menu includes a suggested wine pairing, which may be ordered by the bottle, with some also available by the glass.
