Very quaint restaurant in an old inn. Well worth the stop. They do not rush uou so you have lits of time to talk. Food was very good and well presented. Wine by glass was limited and mostly local.

This was our first visit since a change in ownership and we were very impressed. Food was excellent, service was great and the atmosphere was great. There was some noise, but not as much as when food service was downstairs and not so much that it hindered conversation. All of our dishes (Endive Salad, French Onion Soup, Mushroom Wellington, Cornish Hen, Baked Alaska) were very tasty and well presented. We'll certainly be back.

Thank you so much for a wonderful meal last night. The food was amazing - particularly the liver parfait - and the service as amazing right from the greeting to the good bye. You made us feel very welcome. Thank you.
