Really great "fine dining" experience. The old mill building's ambiance is an equal companion to Brendan's excellent food. Equally good lunch, but make reservations for dinner.

A living wonder. Stuff you won't find at Home Depot. If you like hardware stores - this is the real deal. Need a 1-1/4" bolt? They'll ask "how long". A treasure to anybody with a farm to maintain.
