Rediscover southern cuisine with Executive Chef Jeffrey Newman. Chef Newman is a native of Lexington, Kentucky and studied at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He uses a fresh approach with a style that is described as New American.
Boone Tavern has long been recognized for fine dining. The Duncan
Hines Excellence in Hospitality Award was presented to Boone
Tavern in 2003. The prestigious award is named for restaurant
critic Duncan Hines whose name is still associated with excellence
in fine dining and who included Boone Tavern consistently in
his travel and restaurant guide books. The Kentucky Tourism Council
states, “Boone Tavern has been a hallmark in the hospitality
business for nearly a century. After all these years, it continues
to be a favorite destination.
The Tavern offers a complimentary continental breakfast seven
days a week. Dining room attire is tastefully casual and reservations
are required for groups and evening meals.
Boone Tavern works in tandem with Berea College utilizing the
Student Labor Program to staff the hotel. As you dine, most likely
your waiter or waitress will be a Berea College student. Students
work 10-15 hours per week while carrying a full academic load.
Since 1855, all of Berea's 1500 students are employed in one
or more of the 140 work areas at the college.
