I wanted to thank you again so much for your hospitality.  The frittata was the best I ever had (and I am, at times a professional cook myself).  Take care, we hope to see you again very soon. ~D & W  Portland, OR Thank you so much for your hospitality!  The accommodations, food and ambience were unsurpassed and I look forward to visiting again soon.  ~M Z  Tacoma,  WA  I can’t thank you enough for the wonderfully friendly ( and tasty) hospitality last weekend.  It was such a great get-a-way for us, peaceful & relaxed but with that added benefit of some great mushroom experiences. ~C M  Seattle,  WA

The Shoalwater Restaurant dining rooms provide flexible spaces for meetings, weddings and other special events. Separated by French doors, the Main Dining Room seats up to 50 at tables of 4-10 and the smaller Stained Glass dining room seats 24. An additional semi-private sunken dining area (the Wine Well) seats up to 16. The English-style pub can be included in your event if you desire, as can the small pub deck overlooking the Shelburne's glorious English flower and herb gardens. The entire space easily accommodates groups of up to 150 for buffet receptions and up to 90 for seated luncheons and dinners.

One of the great advantages of holding your event at The Shelburne Inn is having the 4-star Shoalwater staff ready and willing to work with you to create a unique and personalized menu for your event, whatever the size.

Further information and sample menus from past events can be found on The Shoalwater website on the weddings and meetings pages. Ann and Tony encourage you to give them a call at (360) 642-4142 or e-mail them at winedine@willapabay.org. so that they can begin customizing a menu for you that will satisfy your particular needs, tastes and budget.

“At delightful Shelburne Inn a pot of coffee was placed before us the moment we were seated for breakfast, and seconds later a basket of muffins enriched with coconut, carrot, and apple arrived. Breakfast is serious business here, and for our entrees we had chosen a chanterelle omelet made with Parmesan, red onion, and Swiss chard and a fine crisp corn, bacon and spinach frittata. Built in 1896, the Shelburne Inn serves breakfast in the comfortable Victorian lobby with its long oval table. Handmade quilts decorate the walls—giving the place a sort of New England charm—and cover the beds in thoughtfully furnished rooms, most of which have private decks.” Mimi Elder for Gourmet 8/1988 Article:  “Gourmet Holidays—Touring the Pacific Northwest”

“Many travelers take one of the Shelburne’s antique garden rooms, fuel up on the robust breakfast, and spend the day on the long nearby beaches.” Jessica Maxwell for Esquire 8/1988 Article:  “The Enlightened Traveler—Eating Your Way to Alaska”
