Wow! First of all, Dutch Courage was beautiful —all decked out for the holiday. I had eggnog—delicious. My husband and daughter’s drinks were great—and my daughter’s drink was lit up by the waiter tableside to infuse it with smoke. Fun! And because it was our daughter’s birthday, we wee surprised with Prosecco, which was a nice touch. Service was so personable. We loved everything about it.

Delicious salad w baby tomatoes, ricotta, pine nuts, and red leaf lettuce and excellent wild mushroom risotto. Yummy dessert - little fried doughballs, very light and tasty. Attentive and friendly service, with good suggestions when asked. Came for late ish lunch on Sunday and ate in pleasant dining room with stone walls and wooden benches. We usually have dined on the patio, which is also pleasant when it’s not too cold. A favorite place for us.
