    Everything was great. We went here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We both got steaks and mine was overcooked. They took it back and the chef brought me out a new one quickly. Everything was delicious. Our server's name was Claire and she was very personable and kind. She brought out a little birthday dessert plate at the end. We really enjoyed it!

    Came here for the second consecutive year to celebrate my birthday tonight. Our second visit was just as delicious and enjoyable as our first. We got the beet salad, halloumi, their flatbread special, bucatini and the walleye. Every single dish had amazing flavour and decent portions. They also gave me a little birthday dessert which was a really nice way to end the meal. The cocktails were also really good-especially “I yam what I yam” was super unique and truly so tasty! Cant wait to come back next year!

Overall a nice experience - (saw and smelled! Some fantastic looking and smelling fajitas-would definitely try those next time. A good local place.
