Dining

At Dunton, our food philosophy is grounded in the authenticity and simplicity of regional cooking, much like the Italian approach—but with our own unique perspective. We celebrate the highest quality, freshest ingredients, sourced primarily from our local region. However, given our short growing season, we prioritize the quality of ingredients, going further afield if necessary to ensure that what we serve is nothing short of exceptional. Our talented culinary team concentrates on allowing ingredients to shine. Whether plated individually or served family-style, meals are presented in the way that best enhances the overall dining experience. Every dish is created to be well-balanced, visually appealing, and full of vibrant color—with focus on taste and health.

Dining at Dunton is akin to eating with friends in a warm, welcoming home. We don’t have a standard a-la-carte menu. Instead, we craft each meal based on our guests’ preferences, dietary needs, and the best seasonal ingredients available that day. Before your stay, we inquire about any allergies, dietary restrictions, and general likes and dislikes, showing a personalized and thoughtful dining experience. Our chefs are encouraged to innovate within this philosophy, always respecting the seasons and the unique characteristics of our surroundings.

We offer a variety of dining experiences to suit every taste. Enjoy the camaraderie at our communal table in the saloon, opt for individual seating in the dance hall, or immerse yourself in the action at the chef’s counter as you observe dinner service. For a more intimate, tailored experience, reserve our private dining room above the saloon—please contact guest services for booking details.
