The place is filled with art, and even features old prison cell bars from the city's history. The chef really knows his way around the kitchen, and his wife is a strong supporter of the community. It's a very cool spot, and it's a sister city to Chemainus, BC. Make sure you don't miss out on dessert!

Although we couldn't be seated immediately, we truly enjoyed our evening there. The wine selection was impressive, and there were numerous gluten-free options available, along with a delectable house-made cheesecake! One suggestion would be to allow customers to enjoy a drink while they wait, rather than asking them to return in half an hour. While we managed to come back, many people might not. It's better to keep customers comfortable and let them sip on a drink while they wait to order their meals. Overall, the food and service were excellent!
