A bit of history and a lot of flavor. This place was great. Staff wad friendly and let us explore, the setting is one of a kind, the atmosphere is fine dining but intimate. The kitchen let us peak in and the food, the food wad fantastic. From scallops to Snapper to the truffle cake I have no complaints besides not being able to finish everything. I’d recommend. The price is exactly what you’d expect and for the slice of history this place provides perhaps even not enough. Great evening. Great food.

Ambiance is that you are eating in a 200+ year old basement very romantic but very dark. The wine was lovey. The roll and cinnamon bun were wonderful. My twice baked potato was very dry. My scallops au gratin had their “foot or side muscle” still attached on 1/2 the scallops which should never happen as this is prep cleaning 101. Server was very gracious when I showed her and took 10% off bill. Didn’t order an entree but would try the place again.

I’m in agreement with Ms Lora Newell who said, “A great historic landmark with a fine dining restaurant. The staff were excellent and attentive without being intrusive…..A little more innovation with the menu and attention to detail in the kitchen are needed. This place is a diamond in the rough, a few tweaks and it could be amazing. ” Although the one server was quite efficient, another server would make the dining room’s experience more in line with the price of the meal. Hot rolls were !!

Outstanding meal and good service in a very historic building. I enjoyed braised beef tips over rice pilaf with steamed green beans (but should have ordered the rack of lamb), and my wife enjoyed Chicken caprese, with a twice baked potato side. Onion soup appetizer and fresh spinach salad with bacon vinaigrette dressing were nice add on. The servers were excellent. We will be back.

Great hidden gem. Food was excellent. Unique setting…very old historic place. Candle light and fireplace…romantic. I had braised shrt ribs..they were fall off the bone..no knife needed. One waiter mostly did it all. Will be back.

Amazing restaurant, the atmosphere is historic and dark with a fire and candles adding ambiance. The service was amazing, our waitress was attentive and so genuinely nice. The food pleasantly surprised me each time, I thought it would be good but little touches like sauces or particularly fresh ingredients made it great.

We came to celebrate Father’s Day dinner. The staff was very nice and vigilant. The food was very bland but cooked well…just not seasoned at all. Beautiful interior in a historic home very nice candle lit basement. I think one and done but I’d recommend you go at least once.

The food was good but really expensive. We did not see our waitress much and felt like we were put in a corner. It was very dark in the section we were seated. We will try it again, though, for a special occasion, because it was expensive.

A great historic landmark with a fine dining restaurant. The staff were excellent and attentive without being intrusive. That being said, the food was a bit disappointing. The seafood bisque had a divine flavor but had been excessively thickened with a starch. It was more like a smooth yet, thick chowder, definitely not a bisque. My partner had a salad which had beautiful field greens but was excessively dressed, absolutely swimming in dressing. Our entrees were much better, the prime rib was cooked rare, as we asked. There was a nice side of sauteed baby green beans which were very good in flavor but arrived a little cold on the plate.
