We had our daughter's wedding reception here last weekend. We had eaten there several times before, and expected the food to be good and knew the location to be pretty and ideal for the reception.

Stayed on business and was very pleased with the accomodation but most importantly the food - good choice, ample portions and plenty of FRESH vegetables - always seems a hard thing to find when away from home. Beer was excellent and staff very friendly.
