    First time dining here. Holiday decor was wonderful, as was our very knowledgeable and efficient waiter. Ordered appetizers and entrees, with his feedback on our choices. House wine was very good and a nice surprise, since we did not realize the restaurant was byob. Everything was delicious, fresh and served hot - even the soup! Dessert was also great. Only criticism is that the special entree - a fish selection - was overpriced. We will definitely be back. This was a wonder find in the lovely regentrified town of Kennett Square, PA.

    crab cakes were popular at our table, as was the pumpkin mushroom soup. I enjoyed the Duroc pork chop and (very creamy) mac and cheese. Special desert (whiskey/apple bread pudding) was plenty to share and delicious with ice cream and topping. a friend enjoyed a martini with his shrimp and scallop risotto. Conversation is possible here because the restaurant is quiet enough. Our server was experienced and knew the menu well. Service was excellent. No complaints at all.
