    A truly magical evening! Special thanks to Terri for arranging a divine gluten free peanut butter chocolate cake for my friend’s milestone birthday. Pastry chef Konstantinos wowed us with his glorious and delightful creation! Our wonderful server Rachel was informative, attentive and made our dining experience pure joy. Our food was spectacular, full of flavour and once again truly memorable. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely outstanding service and incredible food. I will be dreaming of my experiences here for years to come. I was lucky enough to see my first time server this night, she was tending bar. I was surprised she remembered me and my friends :) Special occasion or not, I would highly recommend this place. Years ago drag brunch was an unforgettable experience. I just can't recommend enough...

    An exceptional dining experience overall! Excellent staff/customer service – super welcoming and knowledgeable; exquisite food, and menu selection, competitively priced with equal calibre food in downtown Halifax; enjoyable, intimate ambiance in a very convenient downtown location. Highly recommended culinary destination for its well curated cuisine, delightful staff, and proximity to key downtown venues, and attractions.
