Such Excitement! It won’t be long before you’ll have the opportunity to drive out to White House, New Jersey and dine at the renowned Ryland Inn.  Once an acclaimed destination for fine French cuisine, the Ryland Inn will reopen in late August under the proprietorship of Frank and Jeanne Cretella of Landmark Hospitality in Jersey City.

Heading the dining room will be Executive Chef Anthony Bucco who honed his skills at Stage Left in New Brunswick. With a focus on New American Cuisine, guests can expect exquisite Farm to Table, “Food from the Heart!”

Built in 1796 as a country home and stagecoach stop, the Cretella plans include a hotel and conference center. By early 2013, and after the completion of renovations and additions, the newly renovated Ryland Inn will boast event facilities and intimate dining space.

Barns will be refashioned into ceremony areas and conferences rooms, while stone cottage accommodations will receive private patios.  Landmark Hospitality also plans to create luxury space for bridal parties with spa and dress rooms and build a bar, plus billiards and a game room for a groomsmen suite.

The glorious reopening of the Ryland Inn can only mean, fabulous fine dining, glorious celebrations, magnificent Holiday parties and the blessings of being surrounded by friends and family who truly share the love of returning to one of New Jersey’s landmark locations.
