 Hyeholde, as it is spelled, is quite good, if a bit off the beaten path.
  It's situated in this gorgeous stone mansion up just east of the old
 airport site, and really is as elegant and romantic as its mulit-star
 rating would indicate.  I ate there about 5 months ago for a special
 occasion, and it was well worth the trip.  Prices are corresponding with
 the quality, so be warned, but I did get the feeling one got what one
 paid for.

 All in all, a definite thumbs up

 Hyeholde does have a lovely atmosphere, but I've found the food variable.
 I haven't been there in years, but one year I distinctly remember the
 "sauce" being a Campbell's mushroom soup base with sherry added.  They
 might have been "between chef's" or something.  Anyway, it is a pleasant
 place, but I can not rate the food.
