    We had a wonderful dinner at this iconic hotel last night. Our evening began at the bar with martinis, we then stepped outside onto the beautiful covered porch where we enjoyed a lovely dinner. The roasted cauliflower was amazing. The steak frites was perfect. Our server suggested the most wonderful wine to compliment our dinner……. Place is truly a hidden gem. We left feeling like guests in a private residence as opposed to customers. We highly recommend this restaurant and the hotel!!!
