Dinner at the Jefferson? Summer of Wonder at Busch Gardens? Perfect!

We USED to be the Jefferson Inn until about 1987 when a bus group called to make weekend reservations and we had to politely inform them that we were a restaurant, not a hotel. We decided to switch to The Jefferson Restaurant about that time.
