Guest Reviews
“The location is lovely, a beautiful old 'colonial' style house with wood panelling throughout. Staff are wonderful, attending to every last detail and the food is beautifully presented, and very nicely cooked.”

“When I made the reservation by phone, they kindly listened to my requests and even prepared a personalized message.
It was our first dinner gathering in a while, and as we enjoyed a relaxed conversation, they offered coffee refills multiple times, making it a truly pleasant and comfortable experience.”
