A most positive dining experience…read more Four of us enjoyed the environment, and were never rushed to finish up, even though we closed up the restaurant at 10:30pm. One diner enjoyed the beet root and feta risotto, and the other three each order the grilled swordfish (see photos). Side dishes of salad and green bean were needed to supplement the main plate. Desserts, one poached pear, and one coconut/chili panna cotta were okay. A definite return!

Pub meets the farmland!!…read more This was a most pleasant experience. For the countryside to have a pub, serving great food, is a surprise. The service, atmosphere, and quality of food serves as a standard for most restaurants. We ordered our drinks at the bar, and took them to our table for our dinner. Starters were a trio of bacon wrapped scallops ($12.50). This was as expected...this was baked, so the bacon wasn't as cooked as it might have been, and the scallops didn't have any color or texture. This was the weak part of the meal. The specialty of the house, the Gate to Plate lamb ($24.00), was a sliced loin served atop couscous with vergetables. Very well prepared and tasty. Another main was the Angel's Breakfast, six broiled scallops served atop a mixed green salad ($22.00). A side of steamed vegetables, $4.50, and another side salad, $4.50, completed the meal. Again, well presented and tasty. See attached photos. A great selection of beers on tap, and wines by the glass, all around $8. This is a worthy addition to the area, and a return visit if in the area.

When checking out the menu I ordered the green smoothie and the French toast. When our food arrived, they actually brought out a different dish however I told them I ordered the French toast they were extremely apologetic. It seemed to be a little of language barrier with accents. The French toast was delicious- it was warm and comforting, the topping was crunchy but strawberry mousse was smooth. We went up the pay and the man apologized again and removed my Smoothie from the bill. Highly recommend! Sweet people and friendly atmosphere.
