The setting is perfect, the food delicious, and the hospitality comfortable and warm. The newly renovated outside terrace and interior dining room is set for a perfect dining experience, and the town’s best people-watching make this the place to be. Chef Amy Howell is a disciple of greenmarket, local farm and sustainable ingredients and her philosophy shows: honest food, ingredients that shine, creative and well-articulated flavors. This is the sort of place you will want to eat every night. The space is inviting, the service is terrific, the wines are interesting, the food is brilliant but humble—and the menu changes often, so you won’t get bored. Dinner guests enjoy preferred seating at the Crown & Anchor’s many Cabaret shows.
