Introducing the September menu at The Colonnade!

Thoughtfully curated by Chef Meseret Crockett, this three-course dining experience celebrates the flavors of early fall while showcasing her artistry, creativity, and refined approach to each dish.

The evening begins with a velvety Carrot Soup, featuring carrots, garlic, ginger, and leeks puréed with coconut cream and finished with a drizzle of red pepper oil—a warm and vibrant first course that welcomes the changing season.

For the entrée, guests may choose between Halibut with a Creamy Lobster Sauce, served on a bed of mild sweet pepper and French Black Pearl lentil purée and accompanied by ratatouille, or the Chateaubriand, a tenderloin filet seared with garlic, thyme, and butter, served medium rare with roasted pearl potatoes and asparagus, stemmed and buttered.

The experience concludes with a refreshing Pear Sorbet, complemented by a vanilla crust crumble and pear coulis—a light and elegant finale that highlights one of the season’s classic flavors.

Designed to celebrate the transition into fall through exceptional ingredients, classic technique, and Chef Meseret’s distinctive culinary perspective, the September Menu is an invitation to slow down, savor each course, and enjoy an unforgettable evening in Irvington.

The September Menu is available September 3 through September 27 and is $135 per person. Alcohol, service charge, and taxes are not included and will be applied to your folio.

The Colonnade is open Thursday through Sunday with seatings at 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Reservations are required.

The magic of Irvington lies in its ability to surprise you, offering experiences that are as unique as the town itself.

Now, guests can add a seaplane excursion to their Northern Neck getaway with Coastal Seaplanes. Departing from Carter’s Creek at the marina dock of our good neighbor The Tides Inn, it’s a one-of-a-kind way to experience Virginia’s beautiful waterfront from above.

Guests Trey and Marnie Henry of Powhatan recently took advantage of the opportunity, enjoying a scenic 20-minute flight during their stay.

Whether you have a destination in mind or simply want to enjoy the ride, it’s another unforgettable way to make your time at Hope and Glory even more memorable.
