Originally built in 1926, The Westlawn Inn served as a guesthouse for bayside vacationers for the last century. Now, we would like to welcome you as OUR guest for fine dining and fabulous music.

2020 Goal - Keep in touch!
     Usually, we send a monthly newsletter, with our upcoming music schedule and spotlights on food/drink/events. We're late with this one because we keep hoping we'll see an adjustment in what we can offer. As most of you know, we can seat 50% inside right now, including at the bar. The guidance on live music is unclear. As long as the weather allows us to use our veranda, we'll be enjoying that. HOPEFULLY, by the time the weather changes, we'll be able to do 75% inside, and can offer live music inside again. Be assured, when we get the word on that we will get a blast out asap.  
 
Here are some of the changes we have made recently:
 
     **We usually change our menu each season, and of course, offer weekly specials. But now we have combined our menus (bar and dining) into one that we are using consistently. Sometimes Chef Fletcher can procure more product - note the recent additions of the Seared Scallops and Slow Cooked Pulled Pork Barbecue for example - so it has been growing a bit each week. Every Wednesday, we update the menu on our website home page in the THIS JUST INN section. We have included the most recent menu below, for your reference!
   ** We are still emphasizing our CARRYOUT option. The Westlawn is where you can still get a fine dining meal to eat at home. Although we do have sandwiches, appetizers, and salads to offer like many other carryouts, we are one of the few from which you can get an outstanding Filet Mignon or Grilled Atlantic Salmon etc. to go. AND, you can get a bottle of wine or cocktails to go to accompany your meal So, please do keep us in mind for that.
    **We have also adjusted our open hours. We dropped offering our Sunday Brunch, but, right now at least, we are continuing to offer Sunday dinner. We also dropped our Tuesday night and close a bit earlier on the weekends, especially as we don't have the music. So, to summarize, we're open Wednesday - Saturday 5:00 - 9:00, and Sunday from 4:00 - 8:00.
   **We do have all of our employees back to work, at least part time. We want to thank you for your support of them during this time. Your generosity has allowed us to keep on keeping on!

    We will be closed to the public on Friday, 10/16, as we are hosting a Rehearsal Dinner that evening. With the restrictions, we cannot be open both the public and for the event. We hope you'll come see us another night that week.

    We have scheduled Matt Wright and Emma Danielson to perform on Saturday, October 24th. (Note - they will be Matt and Emma Wright by then!) We plan to have them perform on the porch, weather permitting, unless something changes by then. (We're taking little steps to get music back into our lives!). 

Thanks for trusting us to do whatever it takes to serve you safely, and thanks for your understanding of the challenges we are facing.

Tips on Reservations

  With the present challenges in mind, we want to remind you that it is extremely helpful if you make a reservation or at least call ahead. If you leave a message, we will get back to you as soon as we arrive at 4:00, so please don't be concerned if you don't hear from us prior to that. Another option is to email us at thewestlawninn
@yahoo.com. We check that frequently up until 4:00. After that, calling is the best idea.  

Pan Seared
Sea Scallops

   Our Scallops Entrees have always been popular, so we were delighted when Chef Fletcher was again able to find a steady source for them. This version has them pan seared and accompanied by a healthy saute of spinach with quinoa, cherry tomatoes and caramelized onions, for a delicious, health, and attractive meal. 

The NEW
Old Fashioned!

 It is often said that everything old is new again. The Pre-Prohibition drink known as the Old Fashioned is definitely IN fashion again! Our cocktail menu describes it as "rye whiskey with a muddled cherry, bitters, and sugar, topped with a splash of soda water. Served over ice with an orange wedge." Our outstanding rye whiskey choices include Bulleit, Templeton, and Woodford Reserve.  And many prefer it with bourbon, of which we also have many outstanding choices - Knobs Creek, Marker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Blanton's, Basil Hayden or the Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon, as pictured above. 

Cautious Precautions!

** We thank you for everything you are doing to help us stay open. The mask rule for restaurants - and yes, we're as tired of it as you are - is if you're on your feet, the mask is on. Once you are seated, off it may go! 
**We are sanitizing menus, handles, pens, salt and pepper, payment books after every single use. We also wipe handles and door knobs very often.
** ALL employees wear masks and frequently wash their hands and use the sanitizers. Please do not ask them to remove their masks,, as it is imperative that the health department can depend on us to follow the rules.
** Wipes, tissues, and hand sanitizer stations are strategically placed by any doors you may need to access. Do let us know if you need anything else to feel safe.
**Our tables are spaced apart, both in distance and time, and cleaned between customers.
**Food and drink preparation is done with our customary high standard of cleanliness.

** We thank you for staying home if you've been exposed, and for helping us keep that six feet of distance whenever we're up and moving. 

Our Guest Quarters

We have been SO pleased that many of our patrons have suggested our Guest Quarters to friends and family who have visited. It is with this local support that this season was much busier that we expected! Please do continue to share that we are here. DO tell anyone interested to book directly through us to save the VRBO or Airbnb fees! The first step would be to email Jenna at westlawnguestquarters
