Circa 1886 Restaurant is a gem nestled in the Wentworth Mansion! 🌟 The ambiance captures a sophisticated charm that makes for a perfect date night or special occasion.

We indulged in both the Ashley and Cooper tasting menus, each dish was a culinary masterpiece - complex flavors and beautifully presented. My favorite was the seared foie gras, simply divine!

Our server, Denis, was exceptional; his attentiveness and knowledge made the experience even better. The complimentary breakfast is a delightful perk if you stay at the Wentworth!

Can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal... 🍽️
