Valentine's Day 2011

Valentine’s Day dinner at The Fireplace with that special someone is an evening to remember. The warm glow of the roaring fireplace mixed with festive decorations make for the perfect romantic experience. If our aphrodisiac inspired menu and sparkling wine flights don’t inspire you enough, maybe a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries will. We will be offering it Thursday 10th - Monday 14th. Dinner will be from 5pm - 11pm Thursday- Saturday, and 5pm - 10pm Sunday and Monday.
