The Rockwell Dining Room serves modern English cuisine, with French windows opening onto the landscaped garden for al fresco dining in warmer months. An extensive wine list accompanies the menu, which focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast offers a buffet with both continental and cooked options, and the bar serves a curated wine list at reasonable prices.
