    Food was excellent. Waitresses fantastic. Moderatley priced. Had the salmon - cooked perfectly and love those little crispy potatoes with the salad. They made a “custom” pasta meal for my wife who said it was perfect. Love this place!

    Arrived for our reservation and were seated promptly - Caroline filled our water glasses and we both ordered drinks - their draft selection is pretty good, had a Peroni and also a Grey Sail. Ordered an Appetizer, Baked feta with toasted Focaccia, good - but Value a bit off at $14-$16 range - just real simple and just felt not enough for the money. We ordered another round and a Bristol Pizza, have had it in the past and always enjoyed it - this night was no different, very good. Caroline was great, explained the specials, attentive and had a friendly personality. Would definitely return -

    Great restaurant for a romantic winter meal. The large fireplaces with roaring fires, dark colonial interior, and fantastic Beef Wellington and Duck made for a special Valentines meal. And the service was good and not rushed on such a busy night. One constructive recommendation. While your hostess were great, we felt much better dressed than they were. It gave a first impression we did not expect. Maybe they could benefit from work uniform ? Overall, thanks WHT. You always make holiday dinners very special
