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 6 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.
Now on to the desserts, which should have been the first course (life is short, desserts
first); Lisa's Pecan Square ala mode is a warm pecan square topped with premium vanilla
ice cream with hot fudge, a dessert I have at least once upon each visit. Mumu's Lemon
Cake is another dessert and you can choose to have this with a raspberry sorbet or not. By
the way, Lisa is the owner of a local dessert company called Delicious Desserts
which will be featured on my television show this Spring. Chef/Owner Jim Murray buys
as much local produce, wines, breads and desserts, which you won't find at other Falmouth
establishments. The Inn is noted as a landmark, and the Murray family has enhanced the
conception of creative and traditional dining to complement the historic surroundings.

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.
