    Max is one the few restaurants you can really rely on to be a great meal with great service - one of our faves. Tonight was my husbands bday and they welcomed him with a bday card, served two chocolate truffles with two glasses of Prosecco and a candle, just perfect! What a special meal.

    The Pond House is a gem in our community. The location, service and menu is perfect for a casual meet up. The acoustics are so bad. I have found it only works for me if there is one person to talk to so I can focus.

    Artisan is a favorite for delicious and fresh vegetable-rich meals. We love the Chef's monthly themed dinners and the way the kitchen aims to accommodate dietary preferences. I ordered the catch of the day over the brussels/pistachio/pesto preparation and it was perfect. There is a trend to fry the brussels until they are unrecognizable and cover them in sauce, but Artisan maintains a delicate flavored vegetable that compliments the dish. The autumn salad with blueberries, pomegranate seeds and almonds was excellent also. The main dining room is a cheerful relaxing space and the staff is welcoming and helpful.
