Lunch at the Tremont Inn on Main Street

The Tremont Inn on Main Street is one of Marshalltown’s historic buildings. Recently renovated, the three story hotel was originally built in 1874. Devastated by fire in 1902, it was rebuilt in 1904. With the modernization and restoration over the past few years, it now consists of 11 hotel rooms overlooking Main Street, three restaurants and some private condominium apartments. http://www.tremontonmain.com

Three restaurants cater to anyone’s taste – the Sports CafĂ©, the Tremont Grille and the dining room. Lunch today was at the Grille for the specialty of the house – the Cap Anson Sandwich. Served on marble rye it is piled high with ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and Thousand Island dressing. I chose the house potato salad as a side order, a wonderfully creamy boiled red potato with the skin on potato salad. Topped off with ice tea, it was wonderful! A very relaxing lunch after my morning of plumbing chores.
