Very interesting cocktails. Love the flat price per person for 3 or 5 course meals.

Thank you so much for a memorable evening!We enjoyed fabulous cocktails and mocktails to start and each menu item was thoughtfully presented and delicious. The focaccia and duck butter is outstanding. Can we have some to go please?! We appreciated the choices offered with the tasting menu. While the menu changes periodically, highlights for our party of 5 were: the Squid, Scallops, Bison Cheeks and for seafood pasta lovers, the lobster was over the moon!Shane, the Sommelier, shared his in-depth knowledge of the wines that perfectly paired with each dish. We were surprised and delighted by the choices including some excellent Ontario wineries. Overall, the wine pairings elevated our dining experience.Amazing evening, we will be back….. thanks again!

The food was good, some dishes are better than others and the portions size vary a lot from 1 dish to the other. I would not recommend the 5 service. The extra near $60 for 2 with tax and tip) isn't worth it. Very small extra services, really only a few bites at the most. The 3 service is a better option. Price is a bit excessive. With only 2 five service meals no drinks, we drank only water,, no extra , it came to $283,60. With wine and if you take some of the proposed extras) it can easily reach $400 for 2. Finally, I would have appreciated to have bread with the 2 main dishes, not only the very good) focacia as a starter. We left not being full.

While there were no standout dishes, the overall experience was better than many others at the same price point. The prix fixe menu was well-received and the wine selection was curated.
