Welcome to the new Colonial Inn Restaurant

You have selected one of the Laurel Highlands finest restaurants, where they warn that food this good could upstage a less than ardent love. We are sure you will find the ambience just as delectable as the food. The professional and friendly staff pride themselves in providing outstanding service.

The Colonial Inn Restaurant is located two miles west of Ligonier on Route 30. Colonial Inn was was originally a roadside shop, in the early 1900s selling gifts and serving only tea. It was converted into a restaurant in the early thirties. In 1947, the Smith family took over this beautiful building and built a solid clientele by providing excellent service and quality dishes that only we have been compared to since.

My wife and I purchased this historic landmark in May of 2007 and have completely remodeled the interior of the building taking great care to keep that historic, colonial feel, while modernizing certain aspects of the building.

The Colonial Inn's 35 ft., non-smoking cocktail lounge is one of the most beautiful bars in the state. The cocktail lounge overlooks the always picture-perfect, three acre lake where the local family of ducks, geese and other wildlife put on an amusing and unpredictable show every day.

Want some privacy? Get the keys to our private dining and cigar bar upstairs. Have a seat in our beautiful leather chairs, sip on a fine cognac, light up a cigar and take in the natural beauty that surrounds you here at Colonial Inn.

This has been a dream come true for the Auman family and we would like to share many memorable dining experiences with you and your family. It will be our pleasure to serve you during your visit here at the Colonial Inn. Thank you for your patronage!
