Do not think I can do D&D for the rest of the year with Covid alert levels and the replacement system won't be hammered out until December.

Amazing desserts here and the mains are good just limited selection for what I normally go for.

Open for suggestions going in 45 hours or so with in laws.

Good beer as well.

If you’re going for dinner, you have to at least ASK about that “butcher block” option. Besides that (and nixing seafood), the duck is tempting, as is that pork burger.

I’d also want to know more about their risotto.

Well I already know what the boss will order. This place does her favorite main and dessert and so far is the best place we've found at both.

Ordered pulled pork burger.

Risotto was mushroom and Chorizo, butchers block beef cheeks, mashed spud and seasonal vegetables (carrot and parsnip).

Random photo of the view.



Nice spring evening.

Pulled Pork burger. So so juicy had sauce all over my face. Was bloody good and I'm not the world's biggest pork fan.

All of that sounds appealing to me. Sounds like you almost couldn’t go wrong. I like that in a restaurant.

Judging from the picture, I bet if I had been there and DIDN’T order the pulled pork, I’d have been JEALOUS.

Father in law ordered it as well. Didn't like the potato and vegetables offered with the Butcher's meal.



Apple and berry crumble w/whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.

All the desserts came with a flower.

Mother in law ordered that plum ice cream and chocolate thing I posted months ago. Probably their best dessert.

You're right can't really go wrong with this place. Our usual place just has more variety on the menu.

Haven’t hit the grocery store for a bit, so I’m out of milk, cold cuts and a lot of the stuff I usually reach for in the morning. So I’ve been FORCED to search the kitchen for other things to eat.

One such example was this: a sliced apple, buttered, toasted petit pain, unsalted mixed nuts, and some truffle gouda cheese.)

(Today was similar, with grapes & San Marzano tomatoes, buttered, toasted sourdough, 2 boiled eggs, and blue Castello cheese.)

Chicken and salad on pita with smokey Canadian maple sauce.



It's was nice but a bit sweet and sticky for my tastes.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Toasted, buttered pita, topped with shredded Cotswold cheese, prosciutto, and fried egg with side of apple wedges.

Tonight’s dinner…was breakfast!
