Upstairs, larger groups dine in the Eggplant and Salmon rooms or shop for tea sets and teddy bears in the eclectic gift shop. – – The Food – While meals are served throughout the day--from brunch to lunch and beyond, the dressiest dishes are definitely…

Great place, food & service!

Me and Fiance went here for dinner a few weeks ago and fell in love! They are under new management have are remodeling but have a most of the restaurant side done and its amazing! The service was great and so was the food. The prices are very reasonable as well! It was very romantic with light music and real lit fireplaces. We can't wait to go back!
- Cons: a bit cold

I love having tea or lunch here. Sadly have not made it to dinner in quite a while. It is a great house and I enjoy the restaurant area as well as the fun upstairs. Very good she crab soup.
- Pros: atmosphere

Won't be back for dinner...

Our experience mirrors that of the previous reviewer. We had a Friday night 8:00pm dinner reservation and called ahead to let them know that we were running late. The woman on the phone made it seem like such an inconvenience and wanted to be sure that we would be there by 8:15. We thought "oh, they must be really busy!" In fact, the opposite was true. There was one other table occupied. Apparently they wanted us there early so they could close early. The salad we ordered was missing walnuts and was merely lettuce, whole grapes, and gorgonzola - pretty awful. My husband's filet and my seafood combination were fine. Not great, just fine. To top off the mediocre evening, a waterbug crawled out of the wall by my head as we were finishing dinner. The dessert menu was pathetic as well - where's the chocolate?! Needless to say we won't be going back.
- Pros: Quaint atmosphere, variety of foods
- Cons: Unexceptional food, waterbug, mediocre service, empty Friday night!
