    Fabulous food in an historic venue dating to the early 1700's. Ambiance and decor are very special. Some food dishes and recipes go back to Colonial times. Try the Chicken Pot Pie that was a favorite of George Washington. Excellent dish. A menu with a wide variety of choices from salads with shrimp or crab or tuna and many vegetable and meat options.

    The esthetic is similar to their other restaurant House157, very soft and welcoming. The Brunch Experience was great, we chose the $68 option. The oxtail empanadas were flavorful, the lambchops were tender, the suya wings were delicious. The unlimited mimosas & belinis sealed the deal. I think I have found my new weekly brunch spot.
