We had a most memorable dining experience, which we would love to repeat on a summers day. It was an added bonus to meet Tom. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Tom Kitchin has a masterful touch when it comes to food, and the team put together a wonderful veggie menu for my better half, including some extra-stinky blue cheeses that sent him to heaven. I had a pescatarian menu for the first time and it was delightful! The scallops were such a highlight, but it was so hard to choose a favorite. We'll be back for sure!
