I discovered this gem when I met the owner Sergeui Kourokhtine at another bar over a drink. After a brief conversation, I made the reservation to dine there the next day for their tasting menu. It is a very small (22 seats), charming room with space for up to three people right in front of the kitchen. I had the pleasure of chatting with the chef (Cam Nelson) who was very personable and friendly. The food on offer was absolutely excellent - their tasting menu is created on the spot based on your preferences. They offer wine pairings to go with the dishes which I highly recommend. I have been back there numerous times since my initial solo visit with group of normally very particular friends all of whom raved over the food, service and the overall experience. Their normal corkage is $30 which is waived on Wednesdays. Recently the original Chef Cam Nelson has left to pursue other opportunities, but the mantle has been ably picked up by his sous Chef Stephanie. Last night she made a absolutely magnificent Turbot which was delicious and praiseworthy. Highly recommended. More

Great experience, expensive but zero errors with orders. Drinks were strong but not over powering and tasted like they should. Small portions but very tasty. Fresh ingredients, quality showed. Food temp was hot when got to table, perfect. Desert portion was generous and again tasty. More

Last minute decision with a friend who has many food allergies/issues. Welcomed warmly, seated immediately (we had a rez) and food was quickly served. Pretty good wine options and an incredibly great and satisfying meal for both of us. We will be back with more people and it ain't just about the chicken. Cool vibe and great location! More

Our server was prompt, friendly and helpful. I had tacos, my partner had soup, salad and corn bread, and our daughter had the beyond burger with fries. It was all super-tasty, well-presented, perfect portion sizes and very reasonably-priced. The atmosphere was lively (noisy, upbeat conversation) and colourful. We LOVED it and will definitely come back! More

Nice small place. Food was quite mild though we asked for it medium. Could have used a little more spice but flavours were very good, service excellent. I would happily go back. More

Fantastic option when taking your family with young kids out but don't want to sacrifice the quality of your meal. Very family friend. We all enjoyed our experience. More
