Dining

There are multiple

restaurants at both resorts

 for every budget

There is a coffee shop and grab and go food

called Xanadu

They also have a lot of tempting sweets

 The Café at Sinclair’s is a 

sophisticated and refined location 

for a luncheon or quiet rendezvous. 

It primarily serves breakfast

We didn't eat here

 

There is Sinclair's 

which is an upscale evening eatery

 From the website :

Timeless in its beauty and stylishness, 

Sinclair's offers an impressive dinner menu and wine list. 

This restaurant is perfect for a romantic dinner 

for two or celebratory dinner for many. 

Named for Lee W. Sinclair one of the 

original owners of West Baden Springs Hotel. 

Sinclair brought sophistication to 

southern Indiana and transformed the hotel 

into a slice of European elegance in America.

 Located just off the atrium.

 

 

 

We ate here on Sunday Night

Chuck had:

Coquilles St. Jacques
Seared fresh sea scallops served in a creamy white wine 

sauce topped with bread crumb gratin 

and a mache greens in citrus vinaigrette

 Shrimp and Penne Diavolo 

 Jumbo shrimp, andouille sausage and sweet corn sautéed

 I had :

Maine lobster garni and sherry crème fraîche

 Swordfish Provencal
Grilled swordfish with rosemary infused 

Israeli couscous,

 provencal vegetables and beurre blanc

It was delicious!! 

We had Breakfast at The Colonnade

 which was a breakfast buffet

It is the former ballroom where FDR 

received the nomination to run for President in 1932. 

 We had dinner one night

at The Power Plant Room

at the French Lick

 Simply step through the door and back 

in time to understand how the lounge got its name. 

The large electrical switchboard that 

once supplied electricity for French Lick Springs Hotel

 is the focal point of the décor in this hotel eatery. 

 

    

We were told that we needed

to try the signature
