The Old Edwards Inn was pleased to announce the opening of The Lodge at Old Edwards Inn. Formerly Kelsey and Hutchinson Lodge, the property has recently undergone extensive renovations and enhancements. Momma and I check in at the Lodge, which is a newer addition, with very nice rooms.

We take Dinner at Ristorante Paoletti
Chef Kevin Paoletti's life-work has been compiling a repertoire of dishes. Some are time-honored classics while others are new renditions of regional preparations with a more modern flair. Ultimately, the goal has been an to produce a consistent menu that offers bright, clean flavors with elegant simplicity. We enjoyed fantastic regional Italian dining in an elegant old-world atmosphere. An array of specialties is complimented by one of the deepest wine cellars in the Southeast. The menu is printed daily reflecting seasonal and locally grown ingredients. Pastas, Desserts, Salads and fresh coastal seafood and meats are part of that ever-changing menu.
