Housed in a historic stone barn more than 260 years old, the Inn at Phillips Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The attractive, tasteful decor is French Country, and the waiting area is set up like a living room. Guests can enjoy fireplace dining in the winter and patio dining in the summer while enjoying the French Country cuisine (not as heavy on the sauces but still traditional French). To complete the ambience, a French singer performs on the weekends. Note: this is a BYOB restaurant--no liquor license.
