    We finally tried the pork shank and it was falling off the bone good! My husband had the seafood pot pie with puff pastry. I paired the shank with a Merlot and my husband had a martini. It was a nice, quiet, delicious holiday dinner.

    Th good was not as good as usual. I got biscuits and gravy and it was dry. The service was lacking and very slow even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy.

    The food and service was great. The only available seating was outside, and it was pretty cold. It would have been nice to have an outdoor heater or fire going.

    This is a lovely place with gorgeous ambience and a large variety menu. The food was good.. I had the quiche but they didn’t offer Worcestershire Sauve which is a must for quiche. They did bring me small plastic container when I asked but a bottle of that should be a staple in the table when quiche is on the menu. The service was excellent .
