Short Rib and grits... Fab!!! Add my staple of Brussels sprouts for balance...
Anastasia EnotMay 18, 2022
This place is very expensive and overrated. Crab cakes were quite good, but all the vegeterian sides were meh, and the soup was too salty. Service is very long too. Definitely not worth it.
jooliaMay 29, 2016
dessert (pies and ice creams) and teas
William DonahoeApril 3, 2014
Order appetizers and a side or two with your entree. Main course portions are small.

Eat at the bar for a fine meal. Restaurant menu if you ask but the bar steak is a fine meal itself. Crowded so arrive early.
Freyja BalmerJune 10, 2016
Squid salad is weird. The pheasant was good, but not amazing. Food is a little underwhelming for such high-end prices.
Laura JohnsonJune 20, 2010
Get the old-fashioned cookies and one of the ice creams- they present them both in great ways!
brian murfinMarch 9, 2010
