My Boyfriend and I ate there last night for the first time for 5 year Anniversary and it was such a wonderful experience. Everyone was so welcoming and nice and really appreciated us coming there to celebrate something special! They even gave us a signed personalized menu. Thought that was awesome! Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable. Food was so so good!!

Just a beautiful place full of history and beautifully maintained. The food was top notch from the starters all the way through dessert plus they had a great cheese menu.
