Dine inBrunch$30–50My vegetarian meal was lasagne, rosemary roasted potatoes, and an omelette. Food was excellent, hot and filling.We had a vegetarian person and a gluten free person in our group and both were accommodated without issue. Vegetarian options are standard.Ample parking behind the building.There is an accessible door but you need to make accommodations to use it as the main door has stairs and the accessible entrance is routinely locked.
