We visited Saint Peters in the eary days and it was good then but this visit was fabulous. The welcome was beautiful, the team that served us were excellent and personable. The food was sensational and although there were 10 courses they were not heavy. I also loved the natural decor and the atmosphere was very relaxed. All in all a fabulous visit.
