I’ve never heard of that tavern. I’ve always wanted to eat at the hobbit in Orange , Ca where I’m from. You got to reserve a spot over 6 months or longer in advanced. You get to eat a multi course meal and in multiple rooms from what I’ve heard and each portion leads you further and further into the basements of the restaurant as you are being served.
