Lautrec truly is one of the finest dining experiences in the country. Having been awarded both the Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond awards for 2012, Lautrec is only one of 20 restaurants in the world to hold both a Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond award simultaneously.

Lautrec features European style cuisine made from the finest ingredients found locally and internationally. The menu is a prix-fixe format in which guests can create their own five course menu or dine from the nine course Chef’s Tasting menu. A la carte dining is not available.

To properly complement your experience, our resident sommelier is available to pair flights of wine for the menu of your choosing and a selection of artisanal cheeses, loose-leaf tea service and mignardises are offered to heighten the experience.

The word “experience” is used frequently when describing Lautrec, because the Tasting Menu format, rich atmosphere and exceptional customer service lend itself to an evening of entertainment rather than an evening meal.

Discover why Lautrec is the region's premier dining experience by viewing the Tasting Menus (samples):

Reservations are strongly recommended. Children under the age of 12 may find our cuisine and style of service a bit grown-up for their taste; however, a young adult menu is available upon request. Proper attire is business casual. To preserve the elegant setting, denim and athletic wear are not permitted. Although, service progresses at the speed of the guest, please be aware that dinner at Lautrec is an experience and as such we request that a minimum of two hours be allotted to ensure that it is enjoyed in its entirety.

For reservations or more information, please contact a Resort Sales Specialist at 866.344.6957.

Chef Kristin Butterworth
Chef de Cuisine

After graduating with honors from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2001, Kristin moved to Arizona and enrolled in an internship at the Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond Boulders Resort in Carefree, Arizona training at Latilla Restaurant, which is where she was exposed to Southwestern cuisine as well as fine-dining for the first time.

Upon completing her internship, Kristin returned to Pennsylvania in 2002 where she worked at a small, privately owned Italian restaurant. During this time, Chef Butterworth had the life changing opportunity to travel to Italy where she received a certificate in “Italian Cuisine and Pastry” at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners.

Upon returning from Italy, Kristin accepted a position at Nemacolin. It was during this two year period in her career that she came into her own style and started to truly embrace the world of cooking. In 2005, Kristin moved to Georgia working at the Sea Island Resort. She was a valued member of the culinary team that opened the Georgian Room Restaurant and the new Cloister Hotel. A mere fourteen months later, the Georgian Room was awarded the highly acclaimed Forbes Five-Star award. After working her way from Cook I to Sous Chef at Sea Island, Kristin was offered a Sous Chef position at the prestigious Inn at Little Washington. Her time at the Inn at Little Washington allowed her to cultivate relationships with local farmers and private growers. Her fascination with the farm-to-table movement grew to become a part of the Chef’s daily practices.

In 2010, Kristin returned home to Pennsylvania where she accepted a Chef De Cuisine position at Nemacolin. Taking the helm of Lautrec, a Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond restaurant, her European influenced cooking combined with the incorporation of local farms and purveyors creates a truly unique dining experience. Under Kristin’s direction, Lautrec has once again received the coveted Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond Awards for 2011.
