Pinchos

Delicious seasonal specials, great wines, and excellent churros are highly recommended. A pleasant spot for seasonal dining, though front-of-house rules can disrupt the initial vibe.

The Barn Restaurant

The beautifully presented food, including excellent Sunday roasts and salads, is tasty and reasonably priced. Housed in a beautiful building with far-reaching views and garden vistas, creating a wonderful dining environment. While the table service itself is fine, the initial till-service ordering system often results in long, slow queues.
