DINE
The tavern is closed for Winter 2025. We look forward to serving you in the Spring!
Welcome to the historic tavern of Financier restaurant, a cherished gem of Eastern Shore Maryland hospitality since 1710. As the nation's oldest inn, we invite you to step back in time and experience the warmth and charm of colonial-era traditions. Our new culinary team has thoughtfully curated a menu that celebrates the bounty of our region. With ingredients carefully sourced from local farmers and watermen, each dish reflects a deep connection to the authentic flavors of the Eastern Shore. From the freshest seafood to seasonal produce, every meal is a tribute to our community, our heritage, and our rich history.
In warmer weather, enjoy dinner on our expansive brick front porch with views of the Tred Avon river, Oxford-Bellevue ferry, and the Strand; in the colder months, warm yourself by our large brick hearth in our intimate dining room. Whether you're here for a hearty meal, a refreshing drink, or a glimpse into the past, we’re delighted to have you join us. Welcome to a timeless taste of Maryland.
