Great food but the slight issue came from service, it was not terribly busy but we went a while without water and they forgot our Brussel sprouts until we asked about it. Still really good and would go back again

Had a very good meal and good service. One thing I thought was not best was the $15 charge for piece of birthday cake they brought out for our guest. When you spend over $400 you think they would comp the cake.

When you step inside you are treated like a king and queen. The staff was so accommodating and the room was quaint. If you cherish a Victorian experience, then this is the place for you. The food was outstanding. We celebrated my son’s birthday who was born on Christmas. The entire room joined in to sing “Happy Birthday!” This made his day.
