Our anniversary dinner was outstanding. However, when we came back on the last night of our stay we decided to try your steak offering. The steaks were tough with a lot of fat and gristle.

The dining room is beautiful with period design. The tables are set far enough apart for comfort. The meal itself was delightful and the wines most palatable. The service was courteous and prompt.
