The Salem Cross Inn,

Route 9 (Ware Road), West Brookfield, 867-2345.

Fine dining in a rural setting. While the food is quite good " sauteed pork tenderloins, chicken and shrimp picatta, lamb chops, and broiled schrod " go for the setting. The inn itself " faithfully restored " was built in 1705 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. We found our weekend experience somewhat frenetic and recommend a mid-week visit.

Price Range: $11 - $20.
