Herr Ridge

History endures in charming Gettysburg, PA. The big historical significance of this small town is a draw for a diverse customer base from around the world. Award-winning American/French Classic cuisine is yours to savour at the unique Tavern dining room at Inn at Herr Ridge.

Executive Chef Ray Tappendorf’s refined global culinary outlook, serves as the cornerstone of its world-class fine dining experience. Chef Ray and Chef Michael Andrews are constantly working to make the best use of the tremendous resources afforded to them.

The varied menu, with gluten-free and vegetarian options available, reflects an emphasis on freshness and quality. “Using locally sourced and seasonal produce, combined with unique and interesting proteins from across the globe, we are able to create dishes using ingredients our guests may be familiar with, but are incorporated in new and exciting ways,” says Chef Ray. One such example is the Butter-Poached Lobster, which has quickly become a favorite. “Fresh Maine lobster is flown in, and combined with a fricassee of English peas, local leeks and fresh organic asparagus, served on a lobster-red wine reduction sauce.”

The acclaimed wine cellar with over 5,000 domestic and international wines, and on-site sommelier, allow for the opportunity to pair wonderful wines in ways that are fun and educational. “Most people would not think to pair a red wine with their seafood,” says Chef Ray, “but we have the ability to make delicious parings that some might feel are out-of-the-norm.”

Inn at Herr Ridge is the perfect place to experience the history of Gettysburg. Seventeen distinctive guest rooms and suites provide the utmost in comfort and a host of modern amenities. Its central location offers a spectacular, panoramic view of the Battlefields, and is an ideal place to begin your journey through the rolling hills of this scenic East Coast town. “When you combine our bed and breakfast, beautiful restaurant, award winning wine list, and carefully crafted menu, we feel our facility is the best in the area,” says Chef Ray, “and surely not to be missed.”
