INCREDIBLE fine dining experience. The menu is at the Chef's discretion but we've never been disappointed.
Almost better: Head to the Vinyl Room downstairs and order something off their menu while listening to some Bob Dylan, Gladys Knight or Nina Simone. Whatever slider they're serving is going to be divine.

Parks & Nature
Taking a walk round the pond is a St. John's summer pass-time. If you're here before the first fine Wednesday in August you can watch the rowers practice on the lake.
If you happen to be in town for said Wednesday, make sure you show up here for the Royal St. John's Regatta. Nothing else will be open anyhow, so you might as well come out.
