Palate cleanser... Citrus and something bitter slushie... Yuk.
Dessert...

Pana cotta with crumble
Sorbet (über sweet)

Attentive staff and overall well paced. Interesting decor, set in old house. Decor feels old/dated but that is really the look they are going for. Sort of reminds me of the mansion in savannah or other boutique hotel. Mostly older crowd. Could easily hear conversations at other tables.
Fantastic meal. Great service. No complaints.
