A La Carte vs. Prix Fixe

We were wondering when the term “a la carte”

became synonymous with “expensive”?

Well, it’s not at the Greenville Inn!

We view “a la carte” as meaning: “Dining Your Way”!

When we go on vacation ourselves, we steer away from  “prix fixe” menus because we rarely get what we want (usually a very limited menu) and not very generous portions.  Some people feel like they are getting a “bargain” when they get a predetermined number of courses…but is it a bargain if you aren’t getting full portions or food you want?

When we offer packages that include a predetermined number of courses, (“Stay & Dine” or  “Shop, Stay & Dine”) you can be guaranteed you can choose from our FULL  (a la carte) menu and the portions are not just a “sampling”.

So, next time you are deciding on any restaurant…don’t let the “Prix Fixe Bargain Factor” dictate your decision…choose a restaurant whose menu has many choices with full portions…life is short…why not have it “your way?”

We are working on our Summer 2010 menu with a chef that some of you might already know…

Check back to see the new menu and who the chef is!

April 15th is “Ice-Out”

Every year, a local business sponsors the ”Ice-Out” contest at Moosehead Lake.  This year’s sponsor is Currier’s Flying Service. The official ”ice-out” on Moosehead Lake is determined when the Katahdin steamship can safely travel from the East Cove to Northeast Carry. According to the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce’s records, the earliest recorded ice-out date was April 14, 1945 and the latest was May 29, 1878. This year with the early warming trend, many locals were specualting that there would be a new record, but as of April 14th, even a tie was unlikely. There were several nights that had been below freezing and ice was actually accumulating instead of melting! I took this photo on April 14th, and you can still see the ice spanning across the East Cove. But it is now official- “Ice-Out” is April 15th, 10:33 am! Ice on East Cove on April 14, 2010
