And careful decoration gives Company of the Cauldron one of the prettiest dining rooms around.
Copper pans hang on the walls, along with a full-rigged half model ship.
Pie-plate sconces are set with flickering candles, and, overhead, there are pierced antique tin lanterns and large, gracefully curved chandeliers for soft lighting. Antique ship paintings on the walls and boat models hanging from the ceilings seem secure in their antiquity. Tables are covered with flowered cloths, and there are real candles in brass holders and tea roses in vases. Company of the Cauldron is unusual in that, each evening, it offers a single entree, which is changed daily. Our dinner was served unhurriedly, almost leisurely, yet the service was impeccable.
