Briarwood Inn Description:
Elegant, dignified and old-world, this Golden stalwart makes for a memorable dinner out, thanks to its striking setting at the base of the foothills and an opulent and romantic ambience illuminated by chandeliers and adorned with stained glass, dark cherry wood, antiques and tapestry fabrics. The Briarwood is certainly not a cutting-edge restaurant, but its classy appeal resonates with the crowds who have been coming here for more than 30 years. Renowned for its topnotch service and goliath wine list as well as its prix-fixe menu, this is a special occasion experience that lingers long after you've had a nightcap in the bar. Dinner begins with an impressive appetizer tray festooned with shrimp, duck and chicken liver pâté, smoked salmon butter, a medley of marinated vegetables and cheese dips. It's easy to satiate your appetite in one fell swoop, but then you'd miss out on the salads and main dishes that zigzag from filet Wellington and elk medallions to the cioppino and lobster Thermidor. The dessert finale includes fresh fruit and petits fours. The winsome wine list showcases more than 700 imported and domestic vintages and more than 25 Champagnes and sparkling wines.
