Our snacks, sides, and starters are perfect for sharing, and our mains elevate favourite classics from down home to down right delicious.Warm wood paneling and eclectic glasswork create an atmosphere that captures the spirit of Maritime living.

Had a great meal out for date night! Such nice ambience, despite being busy. We really enjoyed the harissa cauliflower and the carrot cake dessert! Our server was exceptional and we will definitely be back soon.

This was our second time at Tribute and it was once again "fantastic". Started with the raw tuna appetizer; it was presented like a work of art. The sauce that accompanied the thin raw slices of tuna was unbelievable! For the main course the table had 2-4 person steak option. Again wonderfully presented and it came with potatoes, vegetables and three types chipotle sauce which were all incredible. The crew at Tribute, although new, ran the evening like a well oiled machine! Can't wait to return in December for my wife's Birthday dinner.
