We had a number of appetizers and made it a grazing meal. Everything we had was outstanding. We shared the soup of the day which was a curried coconut and chickpea soup, delicious. We also had brussel sprouts which my husband won't usually eat but actually enjoyed them. We had mushrooms, pork belly and gnocchi too. There was nothing we had that made us regret our choices. I just ate too much because it was so good. The wine choices by the glad are really good too. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We'll go back for sure
