Somerset Cottage
Somerset Cottage Review
The name says it all—Somerset is a genuine country cottage, and many locals consider it one of the region's best restaurants. It's certainly consistent, serving diners from its white-linened tables since 1986. A smaller lunch menu (Wed. to Fri.) accommodates diners who have less time to dine in the afternoon than in the evening. For dinner lamb shank, rack of lamb, beef fillet, spatchcock, and fish are featured in innovative ways. The oven-roasted duck, vanilla- and coconut-scented mash with orange sauce is a signature dish. Somerset also sells some of the products they cook and hosts a regular cooking school.
