Farm to Table Dining

Experience The Culinary Art of Fine Dining  
in a Comfortable and Unpretentious Atmosphere.

The spirit of Elm Creek Manor embraces the culinary arts, and the bounty of the rich Texas soil and sun. We are all about creativity and respect for whole foods while creating a fun escape with friends or a romantic getaway. 

Guests seek our venue for its uniqueness and our ability to bring peak of perfection bounty to the table. The ultimate farm to table restaurant experience is easily achieved when the table is at the farm.

Apart from growing our organic herbs, fruits, and vegetables, we raise our dairy goats, fish, rabbits, beef, and chickens as well as harvest their daily fresh-laid eggs. All of our artisan cheeses are handmade from our dairy goats. We also keep bees for fresh honey and wax for our artisan cheeses.

Can't stay the night? We offer one table each Saturday night, that will accommodate up to 4 people, to allow a non-overnight guest to enjoy dinner at the Inn. Non-guest rate is $89 pp, plus 8.5% tax, 20% service. Includes social hour in the library, prior to dinner seating  (comp decanter of wine at dinner). Phone the inn for a dinner reservation (we do not accept reservations within 15 days of arrival).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We love that our guests arrive for their getaway anticipating all of our whole organic foods.  These include our meats, milk, eggs, cheeses, and fresh farm vegetables. That being said, as a small Inn, we serve our menu selections guests have chosen ahead of time at one seating, at tables for two or by Dinner Tray.

As a small inn, we create the same meals for all guests (guests select their entree before arrival).  As such, our complete sourcing from our farm limits our ability to adapt to guests with restrictive or multiple dietary needs. Many dining venues can accommodate restrictive diets because they purchase their food from food suppliers. Our farm to table aspect limits our ability to work around guests with limited special dietary needs, as it does not allow us to create a wonderful culinary experience for all other guests (inquire before making a reservation). We can accommodate Flexitarian & Gluten-Free.

As a farm that specializes in specialty cheeses, dairy is a huge component to our food. We are not able to prepare Dairy Free or multiple dietary restrictions, Lacto Vegetarian, Vegan or Ovo Vegetarian diets. 

We must have dietary restrictions within ten days of arrival. Please email us with your nutritional limits and strong dislikes. We are not able to make adjustments if we are not notified well in advance.  Everything is seasonal to the moment!
