Was here for the 1st time in probably over 15 years. Treated for my 70th BD.
Ambiance is so warm and inviting, with the huge fireplace in the background.
Spot on service. Efficient but not intrusive.
Minimal noise level. Tables nicely separated.
Definitely a destination restaurant.
GREAT and inventive cocktails.
Oysters Rockefeller were to die for, just wish there were more than 6, but @ $25+, we couldn't have afforded more.
We also ordered the Calamari which was a huge disappointment. The smallest order of Calamari I have ever seen. No legs, just rings.
I had the famous Pork Chop which was cooked to perfection, medium well.
But it was so odd, it was sitting on a bed of I don't know what. Not mashed potatoes, polenta. Which was also covered in some very odd coleslaw of sorts. Which didn't blend well at all with the main course. I say to the restaurant, skip this odd slaw or salad. I ended up scooting the whole serving to the side, just so I could get to the rest of the main.
Rest of the mains were fine.
We all ordered dessert.
Sticky Toffee Cake - WINNER
Butterscotch Cream Brulee - WINNER
Coconut Cream Pie - LOSER. It either had a chocolate crust or was drizzled in chocolate which completely took away from the Coconut which was mostly absent. Piled high with not whip cream, but not sure what that was either. I left half of it as for me, it was inedible.
Was sent home w/the S'More Pie, (Birthday). Nice gesture, but way too sweet.
Make sure to hit the ATM big time before you go now, like everything else, it's $$$$$
