New Year's Day Lunch at Shaker Village

Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky is one of the most idyllic settings around.  Their restaurant is excellent, too.  The food, atmosphere and service are all as good as you'll find.  I'd highly recommend it for a holiday lunch (as we did, on New Year's Day) or any meal on any other day, for that matter.  Here are some pictures of the food and the restaurant.  The only thing not pictured is the Shaker Lemon Pie we had for dessert - maybe the best part of the whole meal.  We enjoyed that when we got back to the parking lot from hiking some of the trails at their preserve.

The restaurant is one of many beautiful old buildings on their grounds.

Delicious "corn sticks," one of the free appetizers they bring out

Another free appetizer - cole slaw!  Some of the best I've tasted.

My entree - chicken croquettes.  They were amazing.  The corn pudding on the side was even better.

Her entree - chicken salad with a deviled egg and fresh fruit.  We loved this too.
