    We went expressly for their 3 course meal tonight. It sounded yummy and it didn't disappoint. We had fritters for a starter, which were fried with seafood inside and other ingredients we couldn't identify. They were very tasty. The entree was slow cooked boneless short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. There was a wine demi glaze over the meat that was delicious. We finished with a vanilla mousse with candied cherry sprinkles over the top. Wonderful evening.
