About
Peter Scott is a man of forthright ideas, and his restaurant philosophy is built on "underwaiting" no fuss, no flap. He's seriously into understatement, which doesn't always go down well with the locals, but you'll be hard-pressed to find fault with the food. Beetroot, chargrilled vegetables, and polenta salad enjoyed in a charming Greek villa-style environment is not a bad way to kill time. Middle Eastern spiced chicken, calamari, and mussels are all here to be enjoyed, inside or outside. For a civilized, low-key restaurant with a big fireplace and no pretensions, you shouldn't miss the White House.
