Dinner Menu
We at the Dilworthtown Inn have demonstrated that our reputation for quality has been synonymous with gracious dining and fine hospitality since we welcomed our first guest in 1972.

The Colonial elegance of our decor reflects master achievements of American artistry and Continental craftsmanship. All three floors and fifteen dining rooms are authentically restored to offer you intimate candlelight dining with Old World Charm.

After selecting only the freshest seafood and finest cuts of meat, our Chef carefully prepares your dinner to our exacting standards.

We are proud to offer you our Award-Winning Wine List to enhance your menu selections. For your convenience, we cellar over 800 selections of fine wine from around the world.

We believe you will find dining at the Dilworthtown Inn a most delightful and memorable experience.

Please note that this menu is just a sample of the fine cuisine we offer at the Dilworthtown Inn. Since our menu changes weekly, this web page is only a sample of what our menu offers. Throughout the season the menu selections will vary and our prices will be subject to seasonal changes as well. We thank you for your patronage.
