We had never been there but took a chance on booking for Thanksgiving .because the menu looked good. From the moment we arrived. It was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The dining room was elegant and comfortable. And the food!!!! Try one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Each course was delicious. From the vegetarian dumplings, the bread, the cauliflower Tartarin, pumpkin sticky toffee pudding, and more, flavors were exquisite, delicate, original. Every table took home doggie bags so as not to miss a bite. Outstanding!
