02/10
True to form for an idyllic country inn, Sunday brunch is a big draw. Even if you're not the buffet type, you'll appreciate how owner John Schlitz and his loyal staff deliver excellent service, fresh-baked caramel rolls, made-to-order omelets, bottomless champagne, and a bounty of eggs Benedict and carve-station standards.
