The unique setting, attention to detail, and the changing International menu are well-suited for a special-occasion dinner. Situated in an 1890 Victorian home, McNinch House features large bay windows in each room, antiques displayed throughout, ornate china, and a spacious porch and flower gardens outside. Located in a residential area on the west side of Church Street, it is within walking distance of downtown hotels and businesses. Diners can relax in the parlor with a complimentary glass of champagne before heading to one of the three dining rooms for their exquisite seven-course dinner. Service is efficient and friendly, and in colder months, staff will warm diners' coats over a heater before they leave.
