Great food, the butter on the steak was amazing. Interesting Victorian wine list and recommend asking to taste a few things to confirm which one you like

Had a really great evening at Pretty Little. We really enjoyed the menu, which changes seasonally based on local produce. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and we can't wait to return in the future to see the menu change.

I just found this place pretty meh… The service was pretty ordinary. We went for dinner tonight for Valentine’s Day. The female server was fine, but the male server… was like it was his first night ever being a waiter. Incredibly ordinary. The entree wasn’t bad. The trout was good, but the mushroom dish with corn was pretty bland. The scallop add on was only average. It was in a broth that just didn’t hit the mark. It needed to be reduced more. The whole thing was like scallops sitting in a sort of soup with some wilted greens and cashews. Duck was quite good and dessert was good too. But on the whole it’s really not a place I’d rush back to.
