THE NIMROD INN


Wild Mushroom Patisserie; Roasted Garlic & Lemon Herbed Chicken; Szechwan Chicken; Pan-Seared Potato Encrusted Tuna; Shrimp & Scallops Lemon Alfredo; Lisa's Pecan Square Ala Mode; Mumu's Lemon Cake & Glazed Chocolate Cake

have become a tradition at this historical country inn. The turn of century Nimrod Inn in Falmouth is not only a landmark but a long standing dining establishment that has blossomed since the Murray family has owned the renowned Nimrod. The entrees have given a new meaning to "All That Jazz" (entertainment 7 evenings) in the creative menu. May I suggest the Roasted Garlic & Lemon Herbed Chicken, herb encrusted chicken breast pan-seared with roasted garlic, shitake mushrooms and finished with lemon and white wine served with lemon pepper pasta or the Szechwan Chicken, tender breast meat sautéed and tossed with cashews, crisp seasonal vegetables and a tangy oriental sauce served spicy or mild over long grain white rice. My other selections will make you decide this is the place not to be missed, Shrimp and Scallops Lemon Alfredo with fresh lemon pasta with jumbo Gulf shrimp and sea scallops married with a reduction of cream, Parmesan cheese, white wine, shallots and parsley.

THE NIMROD INN




Veal Scaloppini Marsala; Scrod Meunier; Lobster Pie; New England Turkey Dinner; Chicken Cordon Bleu; Bread Pudding and Rice Pudding

are the traditional entrees served at the Colonial House Inn (circa 1730s)in Yarmouth Port. Dining at this Inn is continental, with a New England casual atmosphere. The Veal Scaloppini Marsala made with tender veal scallops sautéed in a lemon, mushrooms and Marsala wine sauce undoubtedly is my favorite. But I also suggest the house favorite, Colonial House Supreme, tender chunks of chicken with broccoli, mushrooms, shallots and sherry topped with cheddar cheese and then baked to meld the flavors together. Vegetarian specials such as the Stir Fried Vegetables, all vegetable Lasagna have been my favorites for a change of taste. End your lunch or dinner with a traditional New England dessert of Chef Ray's home made Bread Pudding, plump raisins with sweet bread. Another favorite of the Inn guest is the traditional Turkey dinner, oven roasted with sage stuffing and cranberry sauce... a choice 365 days a year, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The Inn is opened year round. Twenty-one Guest Rooms.
