    Nice quaint restaurant with charm, and cozy fireplaces that creates a relaxed atmosphere. I had the Dirty Harry New York strip, which had a mushroom sauce topping served with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Very good and cooked perfectly, it became an instant hit with me. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Very dissatisfied with our entire experience from food quality, temperature of food and temperature of the restaurant itself. You would expect much better from a restaurant with so much history.

    Service was good, but food a bit overpriced. I love the outdoor space for the warmer season and will probably go back for lunch sometime, but probably not dinner.
