The Keeper's House

Perfect Spot for Post-Exhibition Relaxation

Tucked away in an unassuming corner, this quaint locale offers a cozy refuge for those weary from the artistic overload of nearby exhibits. Stepping inside, the ambience feels like a gentle embrace; soft chatter and the clinking of teacups create a soundtrack perfect for introspective afternoons or cheerful reunions. The carrot and ginger soup comes highly recommended, with its harmonious blend of earthy sweetness and a zesty ginger kick — it's soul-soothing comfort in a bowl. Pair it with a robust coffee, rich in aroma and perfectly brewed to liven up any languid day.

Yet, while its culinary offerings might dance gracefully upon the taste buds, the same can't be said of the service, which unfortunately leaves one cold. Promptness is generally celebrated in any service-oriented setting, but the staff’s apparent eagerness to usher patrons out bordered on brusque, marring an otherwise pleasant experience. A touch of warmth or even a simple nod to courtesy could elevate this lovely nook to its fullest potential. And though not without its pitfalls, it remains, save the odd intrusions of loud phone calls, a delightful spot to unwind, catch up, and muse over the art previously admired. — Jasper Griddle
