Built in 1895, restored in 1995 and opened as a restaurant in 1996, this old Victorian has charmed locals and visitors for two decades with its cozy, quaint and comfy ambiance. By the fireplace or on the front porch, super delicious food is always the main attraction. Whether it be the signature Red House frittata ($11.50), the traditional eggs Benedict ($11.95) or any of the eight gourmet sandwiches, like the applewood-smoked bacon BLT ($11.50), the weekend brunch menu provides a super-enticing list of choices.
