[Idyllchat] Restaurant For Castle Untourists and Others

[Sonny Culverhouse]

Amen!  to everything that Joan has to say about the fish house.  The 
food and family are both wonderful.  Joan was kind enough to leave a 
personal note on the dining room table for us two strangers, and 
that's the way we got to enjoy the fish house the first night for 
dinner, and for many, many more.  Their potato salad is also 
splendid.  .......sonny of Virginia
