Food was just okay. There were certain flavour combos I didn’t enjoy. This is more fusion - nice ambiance and great service but I won’t go back.

Ambience and service was great but cocktails and food weren’t so memorable and a bit over priced. There were limited items on the menu and some weren’t even available then.

Hurry and go before you can’t get a table. Best meal we’ve had on Commercial Drive in ages. Tables aren’t crowded. A quiet, funky vibe. Cool music. And wonderful food. Chef explained all the dishes and they were delicious. A wonderful menu for sharing.

Very poor quality food. Charcuterie board was awful with unpleasant cheeses. Baba ganoush was pleasant but the summer vegetables and patatas bravas left an unpleasant flavor/ aftertaste. The serving staff was pleasant and attentive

It was our first time, I was looking at a cozy place on line and found the reviews was, And I was 40 mins early but tell you parking was a bit of a challenge. Coming from a cooing background Thought the food was great as stated on the menu We order the Shrimp 🍤 Gambini Thought that a bit salty and pricey could used a lemon 🍋 on it And lastly the tagine which is a Cornish chicken was dry,seems like it was boiled upon opening it and some of the veggies in the dish are hot are some are cold, for the price of $32 and portion I think is way too overpriced when I pass by the washroom look and saw the chicken it look like the food was premade not sure how they cook it but I see lots of torching, Also the server/bartender serves as a server as well Otherwise they are nice servers, I’m saying this bcuz I want them to improve there restaurant, the dish could be made fresh to order not pre heat definitely not going back
