One of our favorite Sushi places. We're vegetarians, and enjoy the selection of vegetarian options they have. The vegetarian rolls are freshly made, and tasty. Selection of Sake is outstanding.

Always an excellent experience at Good Earth!! Canada Day was a busy day there, but service was prompt, and food was excellent as always, it was great to see the Fried Chicken on the special menu, and the live music was spot on for Canada Day with the musicians playing Canadian music! Sue was an entertaining server and knew all about the food, actually all staff were full of smiles and very welcoming. Our go to Beamsville winery.

Overall the food was very tasty. We enjoyed every selection we chose. It's basically shareable plates and we were not expecting that. The cocktails were innovative and delicious. We would go back, but better prepared for their concept next time.

About the restaurant

Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only.

What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it.

Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop?

In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday.

How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

Great food and service. From the appetizers to the mains. All great. The stick toffee pudding was the best ever.
