This is where I proposed to my wife ;) We go back a few times a year - pricey but not ridiculous. Treat yourself to a nice dinner while you're staying with us - you can't go wrong with the mussels (I don't even like mussels, and I like theirs) or any of their flatbreads. Or anything, really. The place is great.
