    Food was very good but there seemed to be a staffing issue. We waited for ages to get our food while other tables received theirs quickly. There were only three tables in the whole restaurant that had diners at them, so this was particularly disappointing. In addition, our bill was incorrect and they just took forever to have a simple lunch.

    Beautiful space but time for a refresh, place could be so much better than it is. Food was ok, not spectacular. If you're staying at the hotel, you're relatively captive, if you can, best to go elsewhere.

    Great place, it’s just a classic. Soup, salad, steak are amazing. Onions rings are perfect. Mashed potato was incredible.

    We booked this for Christmas lunch as it looked very quaint and romantic. We were not disappointed. A beautiful property inside an older hotel. The room was classic, clean, and distinguished and we felt like it was lovely for the type of meal we wanted to have on this special day. Our server was attentive and polite. The menu was simple as it was a special holiday. Choices were enough and we made our selections. We enjoyed our starters, entrees, and our desserts. Every bite! Wonderful!

    A lovely room with two gas fireplaces that should have been lighted on this very cold night. Asked the waiter to light it and he offered to raise the heat. Ordered an old fashioned that came with no stirrer but needed to be stirred so I had to use my dinner fork. We ordered salads for starters which were fresh and tasty but kind of skimpy for$12. I had salmon which was slightly overcooked and my husband had crab cakes which he had to send back because they were cold. Hard time getting hold of the waiter for this as he was the only one but there were only two other tables besides us. The waiter was nice enough but got the impression he was bored with his job. We passed on dessert and left. Would not recommend. The food was ordinary, the sides were ok, the service was spotty.

    The food was good, though not outstanding. The service was friendly. Somehow our reservation was not easily found. It was put in the wrong time slot which led to some immediate confusion. We were very pleased that the ambience was peaceful and relatively quiet and relaxed.
