eat.'' Owner Mr. Richard Butz kept this in mind when he created the interior design for the Hunt Club. He used colours that would make a woman happy but allow the man to feel comfortable. "I wanted to make sure that it was neither feminine nor masculine but an environment where everyone could feel comfortable,'' he added. To achieve this goal Mr. Butz used a combination of green, rose, burgundy, and beige. Upon entering the Tavern one is welcomed by a large sign which reads Welcome to The Hunt Club. The sign also features a picture of a horse and the expression `Follow the Fox to the Hunt'. The floors in the whole Tavern are covered with a pale green tile and the walls in the entrance are painted a pastel green. On one of the walls of the entrance way hangs two collages of black and white photographs featuring equestrian activities. "People like to see pictures of other people. It is a good conversation piece,'' Mr. Butz said. A whole different atmosphere is created in the Hunt Club Tack Room with deeper colours. Plaques of witty sayings and hunting pictures adorn the walls. The environment in the tack room is very cozy and clean. The tables and chairs are stained dark burgundy and the seat cushions are rose. There are two large televisions suspended from two opposite corners and a smaller one hangs behind the counter. A dupe box graces one of the corners and a saddle can be seen hanging from the rafters. The bar is situated in the Tack Room. The owners kept the bar separate from the dining area so that people could feel comfortable dining at the Tavern with children.

The dining area is split into two separate rooms so that people wanting to have functions can have a private room. The main dining area, the Manor Room, is airy and lightly decorated. White ceiling fans and green lamps are suspended from the rafters. Rose cushions and the light brown colour on chairs, benches and tables give the room a very casual comfortable feeling.

The curtains in the windows are burgundy, green and yellow and the walls are a pastel rose. Paintings of dogs, boats, horses, front street, horse races, and boats in the harbour are featured on the walls. Also hanging on the wall is a board telling what the days specials are. Two double doors give passage into the Coach room. Smaller then the Manor room this dinning area can be used for private functions. No smoking is allowed in this room. Featuring the same colour scheme the decor of the Coach room parallells that of the Manor room.

The tables are set with burgundy place mats and napkins which complement the rose set cushions. Paintings are also an important part of this room. These paintings include a mare and her colt, an indian woman, and a horse and his rider. Windows on the three wall let in a lot of light eliminating the closed in feeling so often experienced in smaller rooms. Between the Tack Room, Manor Room and Coach Room the Tavern can house up to 130 people. The Tavern also has an outdoor eating area with five picnic tables. The tables have a green marble design on them. Each table has a green Perrier umbrella and four green chairs.
