    Everything was tasty, the service polite but not quite warm. The restaurant was fascinating and it’s history being the reason I chose to visit. However, other than dining inside there was little connection or recognition of its history.

    It was quiet busy on a Sunday evening when arrived there for our anniversary dinner. We were seated on time and the service was excellent. Food was excellent, as usual. We both had a Scotch egg for appetizers, which we don't often see in the USA, followed by their renowned individual Beef Wellingtons as mains, which were delicious as always! We were quite full after our main course, so split a desert to finish. Nice ambiance in the USA oldest continually operating bar and restaurant from the mid 1600's.
