The food is very good - might benefit from a little more originality. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive and very responsive. The booths are too small - should be able to accommodate four people comfortably- but can only do half of that as it is currently configured.

Quick, friendly and professional service; great food! Variety of choices on the menu; the items I’ve tried have been on point with seasoning and flavour. I tried their cup of tomato basil soup this time, which was delicious, and the Nordstrom Burger which is my go-to item; juicy burger, well-seasoned fries and mouth-watering olive aioli sauce.

Overall everything was very good. The food was a bit different. I took the crab, mango salad. The crab looked and tasted like it was out of a can and there was a little too much tomatoes. About a quarter of the avocado was blackened. The last time I was there I took the same salad and it was delicious. 🤷‍♀️

Ben was amazing! Very knowledgeable and with great recommendations. The crab bisque was delicious as usual; the mushroom ravioli unparalleled; but the special beef wraps, while tasty, were dry and stringy. The coffee - drip and cappuccino - were fresh and delicious, and the setting was perfect. We keep coming back for a reason.

Interesting menu choices. The tacos were really good 😊 The noise level was far too loud for us and all the tables around us were commenting about the noise level. It was very busy, which is great after the last couple of years but less conducive to a nice lunch and chat with a friend(s). Challenging to manoeuvre in a wheelchair. But great staff made sure I was comfortable.

Wine and cocktails are pricey (converted, I imagine, from $US). Cappuccino was the best I've ever had. Was very happy to be seated in one of the booths by the window.

The fish and chips was disappointing with so much batter and little fish. Mint brownie way too sweet and the toppings of crushed candy cane spoiled tge taste. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Service was very good.

For the price the salads were disappointing. Very expensive but lacking in flavour and salmon very overcooked. Excellent service but didn’t make up for $75 bill for 2 salads, 2 coffees and tip.
