Suite Highlight Saturday | Here is a glimpse inside of our Lerella Suite, named by our Owner & Venue Manager, a mother-daughter duo, after their family's long-time nanny. This too was an effort to bring their own familial history into the place, but they also liked the idea of all three guest suites having a rhyme-scheme!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This room has a special bonus feature as behind the French doors is a quaint balcony overlooking the back of The Bread House and North Jefferson Street!

We would like to formally introduce you to TÖST ROSÉ – An all-natural, delicious, sparkling non-alcoholic beverage made with white tea, ginger and elderberry.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does it taste like? It has a dry, delicate palate with hints of crisp citrus, a subtle effervescence, and a light finish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Listed as an option in all three of our bar packages, it's a sophisticated and elevated option from our selection of bar offerings that makes everyone feel a part of the occasion.
