The Table Restaurant at the Inn at Crestwood is reopening on Valentines after being closed for the past month for renovations, revamping and re-staffing for the upcoming spring season. On Sunday night the restaurant had a “soft opening” for friends and guests to showcase their new menu. Crestwood’s General Manager, Vanessa Hensley, welcomed diners saying. “We’re looking forward to showcasting our new menu and letting our new staff serve you tonight.” Diners were treated to a four-course meal with wine pairings for each course. The first course was PEI Mussels followed by Pan-Seared Diver Scallop. The main course was Braised Boneless Short Rib with Boursin mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, roasted carrots and parsnips, garlic puree, and smoked demi-glazed, pickled shitake mushroom. And for desert, Blue Lavender Panna Cotta.
Chris Brinegar is the new restaurant manager who says he has been involved with restaurants most of his life. “I’m very excited about being here and building a new brand,” said Brinegar. “I like to see our place become a destination restaurant with folks knowing it’s worth the drive finding us here on the curvy Shulls Mill Road.” The restaurant has also added new staff members that Chris will be working with. “Our chef and I have the upmost confidence with our staff, they are really doing a great job.”
Chef Adam Policinski has now been with Crestwood for over two years and explains “the new menu is a compilation of a little bit of winter moving into spring – a good mixture of anything from a flat iron steak to filet mignon. We’re not stylized into an Italian style or American style – we are a melting pot and we experiment every chance we have with new things.” Sunday night diners were very pleased with their meal and gave Chef Policinski a loud round of applause following service. “Our primary goal is to make our customers happy,” said Policinski. “And I think we can do a fantastic job doing that.”
