About Us
In the early 1980s, the Association decided that dining was an important part of the overall Mount Vernon experience and the only way to ensure quality was to enter the full-service restaurant business themselves.
Mount Vernon bought the concessionaire contract of the national restaurant firm that managed the Inn and hired a seasoned chef. Although visitors responded enthusiastically to the improved food and service, the early years were rocky. As the gift shop and snack bar flourished, the restaurant struggled to break even.
In 1985, Mount Vernon's board decided to open the Inn for dinner with a new, upscale menu. Again, during the first three years, ledgers were swimming in red. Mostly by word of mouth, the restaurant's reputation for good food in a cozy atmosphere, with reasonable prices, began to take hold with the local residents.
The Inn developed a new niche as a "special occasion" destination, and bookings for wedding receptions, holiday parties, and corporate dinners increased dramatically.
