    We were so delighted to be able to dine in the bar room. It was just the 3 of us and quiet, which made it really nice to have conversation throughout our dinner. So many restaurants pipe in music and the noise level is untenable. What a treat! BTW, the food was outstanding. I recommend the lamb shank.

    This place was so good and enjoyable on so many levels, it is difficult to to be honest instead of selfishly keeping it as secret as a place that has been in operation since the late 1950s can be. An absolute treasure in every way.
