Unexpected but interesting setting. Luncheon buffet was reasonably diverse and tasty but a bit limited. Wines were fine if unknown (thought of sneaking across the street to Barry Bros.!). Service was attentive and was helped by the limited number of tables. All in? An above average experience.

This must be a forgotten gem in fine dining - may it never be found for we shall surely return time and time again . The food was excellent and the staff attentive without being over bearing. This is definitely a must but dont tell everybody!
