Did not stay overnight just had foodAnita Butler · 5★

We really enjoyed the aesthetic of the restaurant, a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant food was delicious, recommending any of the roast beef dishes for dinner. The staff and served staff had a great personable attitude and great service.Avery Rachelle Grossardt · 5★

I recently had lunch in the Silken Thomas. I was really pleased with the hummus and tapenade vegan starter that I chose. Well done and thank you for offering a tasty vegan option.S O'L · 4★
