Whether you’re at the Doubletree for business or pleasure or a resident in the vicinity you will also enjoy fabulous offerings from the hotel's culinary and catering team of the new popular restaurant, Birch River Grill. This is An American Kitchen, which serves American classic cuisine in a rustic décor with beautiful real uniquely cut birch trees arranged with a chic style throughout. There is also a cozy fireplace with sitting area and an oak made bar with comfy barstools to relax and enjoy that perfect martini or cocktail.
And for those who love cheesecake, will love Chef Daniel Sikorski’s creative style in making cheesecakes with his incredible different styles and flavors. Chef Daniel by far makes the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted. One of his creations that I absolutely love is his “Sweet Potato Bourbon pecan Crusted Cheesecake”. It was unbelievably delicious!
The Chef’s other favorite creations are his very tender, perfectly seasoned “Pot Roast with yukon gold potatoes, celery, onion and demi carrots” and his “ Pecan Crusted Trout” with sage butter sauce, broccoli and rice pilaf that’s cooked to perfection and very tasty. Some other favorites are the “Meatloaf - stuffed with mushroom duxelle” that will melt in your mouth and the “Macaroni and Cheese” cavatappi blended with white and yellow cheddar, American and parmesan cheese, topped with browned breadcrumbs with a creamy fluffy texture and is very smooth. YUM!
The Birch River Grill is perfect for all occasions and has become very popular with locals as well as hotel guests. It is also a fantastic place to have a hearty breakfast to start off your day.
Not only is the food superb at the Birch River Grill, so is the service!
If you want to have a leisurely day, the Doubletree Hotel has a large beautiful indoor heated pool for swimming and splashing around in along with comfortable lounge chairs along the side to take time out and relax in. There is also a jetted whirlpool next to the pool for you enjoyment too. And for those who workout, the hotel provides a fully equipped fitness center so you can get your exercise in for the day.
For late-night snackers or arrivals, in addition to Birch River Grill, the Doubletree Hotel also features the convenience of Cravings, a 24-hour snack bar that features food freshly prepared by the restaurant. This is really great for when you are hungry in middle of the night and nothing is open.
