Impeccable food and service at extra special venue

Beautiful old home with tables tucked into various rooms. Romantic lighting. Lamb is excellent in fact, everyone at my table thought his/her dinner was the best. Although I could have ordered the cheese tray (meant for sharing) and eaten the whole thing. Lovely cheese and wine selection. Save this for a special anniversary celebration or even a wedding proposal.
