This is a wonderful classic restaurant, located in a wonderful old building, very cozy inside. Amazing old giant fireplace. Great bar. They are noted for their amazing onion rings! They specialize in steaks and baked potatoes. However, vegetarians will love their wonderful vegetarian plate that is not on the menu. I LOVE it! A 5 minute walk from the house.
