    We enjoyed a long lunch for two on a Sunday afternoon. Serices was brisk and attentive, with friendly, personable staff all round. The food (steak frites) was outstanding. We opted for that smaller meal option vs other steak size options due to plans later but the meal was one of the best of that dish we've had on the coast. Wine and drinks list were adequate. Would definitely go back!

    A well banced and innovated menu with a selection of not often seem offers. Welcome back to beef tartare and duck rillettes. Fresh and delicately sliced raw seafood and excellent sides of roast potatoes and grilled greens. Rump steak was flavourful and perfectly cooked (rare) as it shouldl be. Good choice of wines by the glass.

    Very nice establishment. Service is a bit shaky and not as attentive as you would hope for such a venue.

    Some great dishes. Some average dishes. Host Sam, head waiter Shane exceptional. If they weren’t there, would have rated lower. Good but for a $2k bill, needs to come up a notch.
