S F Martin House for Lunch

I had a wonderful lunch yesterday at the S F Martin House Bed and Breakfast in downtown Atlantic.  Mark's mom, Carol Smith, had told me that I should see the inside of the house at this time of year, decorated for Christmas.  Wow...she was right!  What an amazing collection of ornaments, crystal, Santa figurines, lights and garland...all displayed beautifully within the dining rooms on the lower level.

I met Carol, Collette Kinen, and Rhonda Wohlleber there for a delicious meal starting with a mixed green salad with blueberries, rasberries, walnuts and strawberries.  My main entree was a turkey and chicken stuffed pastry with cream cheese and spinach, herbed mashed potatoes and cranberry salad.  Others had the quiche with sweet potatoes.  I finished lunch off with a lemon cake with lemon sherbet.  Very good.

I met the owner, Roger Steffens, and had him pose for a photo for me.  :)   I'll be back later in the year when he says he has the house decorated completely different than at Christmas time.  I would call ahead of time to let Roger know you are coming (we called that morning).

The S F Martin House is located at 419 Poplar Street, Atlantic IA  50022
Their phone number is 712-243-5589.

A nice treat for the holidays!
