Took my sister who was visiting from the states for dinner. The whole restaurant was buzzing with several large groups obviously having Christmas Parties. We were seated at the back away from the grounds so it was fairly quiet where we were. We shared the loaded fries, Brussels Sprouts and the Bee Sting small pizza. Everything was so damn good!! My sister was so impressed with the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. We even bought both of the hardcover cookbooks. One of my favourite local restaurants!! Never disappoints!

Gorgeous room, vaulted ornate ceilings, nicely furnished & appointed space. Excellent food & service, we enjoyed truffle parm loaded fries, quinoa chick pea black bean salad and the arugola fennel salad and split a linguini with short rib. Perfect flavours and expertly presented. Kyle, our serve is a true credit to his profession. Bravo! We'll be back!

Apps were good. Mains missed the mark. There were 5 ppl in our group as we celebrated a bday. Each of us felt something was not quite right with our entrees. Service was generally good. Heavy price point for our table. Left disappointed.

Excellent food, great place for a group for brunch. The lighting was too much where we sat but the waitress said that could be dimmed down. No scones in the brunch but so many other choices that I will definitely be back and reccomend to others.

Sadly I don't recall the name of our server but they were just fantastic. They asked if we were celebrating an occasion and my wife and I were celebrating our 9th anniversary on Nov. 29th and the server was so kind and brought us some complimentary wine to celebrate. They were just a fantastic server and deserves all the accolades. I'm saddened I can't remember their name.

We had a very enjoyable birthday dinner for my wife, 2 couples. Drinks and food were all very good, we had apps, mains and desserts. Cheesecake was extremely good. The only negative was the drink service was slow, we ordered our drinks first, after a few minutes our appetizers but the food arrived before our drinks did. 2 beers and 2 cocktails. The timing of getting food before drinks was a bit off. Otherwise, really enjoyed our evening. Already a returning customer, will be back.

We are here for Grey Cup 2023. We had the Apple and Bacon pizza with a garlic aioli dip. The food was amazing and enjoyed our cocktails too. The server was friendly and even apologetic, as there was a surge crowd that they didn’t anticipate. We would definitely go back

Dropped in before an event at the concert hall. Three of us shared a large meat pizza and an heirloom beat salad. Generous portions for all three. Great tasting food. Nice environment and friendly wait staff. Easy parking right next door. We will definitely be back for another sampling of the interesting menu.

Lots of great vibes in the restaurant - full of people. Completely enjoyed our meal - sharing calamari to start and then having a delicious mushroom risotto. My dinner companions enjoyed their pizza selections. Service was attentive. Went for a pre-theatre dinner and they ensured we had lots of time to enjoy our food and get to the play on time!

The service and food were fantastic. The pricing was a little high since I ordered a side and did not know there was an extra charge with my sandwich. Probably my own oversight. The noise level in the restaurant was higher than I would have liked as we were a group of seven ladies seeing each other after a long time. Will return

The restaurant has all hard surfaces and is quite loud when busy, the service staff were very friendly but quite distracted. My partner loved his Korean bowl. The pasta bowl was surprisingly underwhelming. I generally avoid salt, yet asked for salt and pepper to be brought to the table.
