Antrim 1844 Country Inn Description:
Executive chef Michael Gettier has found a delightful country home in Taneytown, where he brings his signature French style to Richard and Dorothy Mollett's charming Antrim 1844. The hotel's prix-fixe, multi-course format remains the same: The evening begins with drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres in the drawing room as you settle into the splendid surroundings of this restored plantation house, now an antique-filled bed and breakfast. Dinner begins at 7 p.m. Relax into a high-backed chair in front of a roaring fire, sip a wonderful wine from the restaurant's cellar and let the panoply of a felicitous meal play out before you. Your choices from the six-course menu will arrive in gracious style, starting, say, with a salmon and caper cigar to be followed by a wild greens salad, an intermezzo and then an entrée, such as duck in two fashions, with beautifully braised confit courting sautéed foie gras on a bed of lentils. Plates of varied desserts to share cap the extravaganza. The evening ends all too soon, but the memory lingers. Smart diners reserve a room for the night to save re-entry into the cold, cruel world for the bright light of day.
