    This is always a terrific choice! Service and food is really always impeccable. I was happy to see a few new food and drink options on the winter menu; highly recommend the bucatini with pork cheek and the gin and cardamom cocktail. All the pasta dishes we tried were fantastic and the marrow risotto was bomb. For dry January enthusiasts we were also well taken care of! - great mock tails and even an alcohol free Prosecco. Really wonderful all around! Don’t forget the apple tart for dessert! Melts in your mouth and truly divine!!

    I was so proud to introduce three guests, who had never dined here before. It was a true dining experience and not just going out to dinner. From Mary's vast and impressive wine collection, we had a fabulous bottle of Italian sparkling wine. Dinner was impressively served, beautifully presented and most importantly DELICIOUS! The dining room chairs are comfortable and inviting. We were able to sit back, relax, sip on that amazing bottle of wine, engage in wonderful conversation, while being attentively served and never rushed. My group dictated the experience's timing. We were there for 3.5 hours and NEVER felt rushed. What an awesome experience!
