I guess I will choose The Orchard or Park Inn to have a meal, if I need choose a restaurant in my reading. The Orchard is really delicious expect dessert and there have good eating environment. The Park Inn service is better than The Orchard, but the meals were rather tasteless, that coffee was far too strong. The Richard’s Place is a popular restaurant that food was extremely good but it unfriendly and poor service.

The Riverside is medium restaurant with me, it was lovely sitting outside and looking over river, but it food not have something special.
