We were very happy we came here! We don't normally bring our 10yo daughter to nicer places but the experience was fantastic. Sam is such a kind person and we are always taken care of with them. We were in a time crunch to go see a performance close by and the team made us ready to go right on time. Food is always spectacular, atmosphere is lovely.

Good vibe, food was tasty, staff were excellent - the fries had a maple flavour to them, which was a nice surprise. It was a little pricey for the experience. I think it cost me $250 for a couple burgers, french fries and a few drinks. Food was slow to come out, but they did give us a heads up that it would be. Cozy spot but value for $$ was better in the summer on the patio with a charcuterie board

I don’t even feel like it’s worth bothering because we told the servers and they didn’t care either.

Great food, unique layout. Multiple dining areas over 2 floors. Tastefully decorated older home converted to a bar/ restaurant. Small-ish food menu yet still something for everyone. Satisfying portions. A foodie must.

This is definitely a place that I will return to. The mushroom tostada was superb, the duck confirm was spectacular and the orange almond cake was the perfect finish.w
