"This was the best place we ate while on vacation. So happy we discovered it. Our table of six had the prawn risotto, turbot, duck leg, beef Wellington, pork cheeks and steak with peppercorn sauce and every dish received the highest praise. Everything was tender and full of flavor. The server was welcoming and helpful and overall amazing."

"A love it when dining is not just a meal but an experience. The service was equivalent to a 4 or 5 star restaurant. Amazing staff. Quaint building with lots of historical charm. But the food…Oh My. Garlic shrimp appetizer was huge and tasty. The beef Wellington was tender with a wonderful sauce. We ordered a side salad and it could feed 3+ people. The chocolate cake won 1st place at the Obidos Chocolate Festival. Lots of parking behind the building. Make sure you get a reservation. It’s small and popular!"
