| - We visited the Dr's. House as I had purchased vouchers on a group website. After reading the fine print....I discovered that the voucher could not be used for their legendary brunch....dinner or lunch only. A bit of a disappointment but not the restaurants fault.
The restaurant itself is not as spectacular as I had hoped...it appeared to be a banquet hall with tables and chairs thrown in. The view, which overlooks the courtyard and church is fantastic. It is worth strolling the property to capture the true ambiance of this place.
Our waiter was a hoot. While speaking to him, we discovered that a member of our party was from the same home town as his parents (back in Italy) and through more conversations, it was discovered that they were related in some way !. Too funny ! Regardless, he was amazing. He made recommendations for our wine, recommended some entrees, entertained us with stories (without being obtrusive) and was just a warm and welcoming individual.
Too bad the food didn't live up to his service skills. Our food was " just OK". Salad (Caesar, garden and goat cheese) were all excellent. Steak was a bit of a disappointment....not as flavourful as I had hoped. Chicken was very tasty, but again, nothing spectacular.
Wine was excellent, desserts OK.
If the dining room was more inviting, we would probably go back and give the place another try.
