This graceful, two-story manor house, which dates from 1670 and once functioned as a bed-and-breakfast, now holds one of Bermuda's most elegant and elaborate restaurants. The service is impeccable, with waiters that have just enough island exuberance to take the edge off their European-style training. Nestled in Jew's Bay, the restaurant also offers breathtaking sunset views. The Bermudian-Continental menu changes every season, but always offers an excellent fish chowder. Seafood ravioli is another stellar appetizer choice. Grilled fish-of-the-day over a plate of local, colorful vegetables makes a perfect main course. Decadent desserts, like profiteroles in sweet vanilla cream, round off an extremely satisfying meal. The restaurant is also known for its fine wine list and its cigar selection.

Excellent, excellent meal!! Service was impeccably from the moment we were greeted at the door. (It was our first visit to the restaurant, but we were treated like returning friends.) Our waiter, David was attentive without being obtrusive. The maitre d' visited our table several times through out the evening to ensure that we were enjoying our meal and service. My meal included seared sea scallops wrapped in proscuitto; an 8 oz petit filet mignon; and an apple pie/tart with sour cream ice cream. Dinner for three, including appetizers, drinks (YOU MUST try the "Dark & Stormy" cocktail), a bottle of wine, three vegetable sides, dessert and coffee about $350 US. Definitely worth another visit.
