    Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

    We took Dad to lunch to celebrate his 95th birthday. The restaurant and all the staff went out of their way to make him feel special with welcoming birthday wishes. Our server was excellent and even treated Dad to Baked Alaska dessert, flaming rum and all, to mark the occasion. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and it made for a wonderful celebration. Thank you so much!
