David Grossberg
General Manager and a transplant from the San Francisco Ritz-Carlton.
We are very pleased to announce that our General Manager, David Grossberg, was awarded the Outstanding General Manager of the Year award, by the American Hotel and Lodging Association. David was chosen for his outstanding accomplishments and exceptional service in the lodging industry.
David, who won in the small property category, plays an active role in the lives of his employees and his guests. David views his job as providing not only a comfortable stay for his guests, but a uniquely historical one, in the inn which dates back to 1716 and whose most famous resident is a ghost who frequents room 24. David's dedication to service extends beyond the property, as he is a member of a local Rotary organization, and always on the look out for new service projects.
David also won the Masschusetts Lodging Association's Star of the Industry Award, for Outstanding General Manager of the Year, in February 2008.
Executive Chef Leo Kremer
Attracted to Concord's Colonial Inn by its welcoming intimate atmosphere, Executive Chef Leo Kremer enjoys speaking with customers and invariably receiving their compliments. Each night there is the creative challenge of presenting four dinner specialties that attract the eye and appeal to the palate. Among these specialties are striped bass with champagne sauce garnished with champagne grapes, stuffed lobster tail with tarragon cream, Kobe beef steaks with roasted garlic butter, and Asian influenced tuna with peanut sesame noodles.
Our menu features the signature dishes of the Concord's Colonial Inn as well, which include potato crusted haddock, prime rib, chicken pot pie and the lighter fare of Caesar salads with the customer's choice of grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp. The sirloin steak, sirloin tips and skirt steak are all natural meats without additives and hormones and have become a popular choice for patrons. While the meat and fish are center stage on the plate, Kremer and his team know the importance of selecting daily the accompanying fresh produce.
