Went while visiting our daughter at W&L and celebrated our sons birthday. The food was beyond superior in quality, atmosphere is quaint and cozy. We had the cheese tray and butternut squash ragú, lamb sausage, and topped it off with coffee brûlée. Fabulous.

Wonderful cuisine with imaginative menu and LOCAL sourcing. Interior is amazing. The historic little building was once the billiard room annex for a hotel! Great woody interior and some historic carpentry work. Lovely intimate atmosphere.
