Brunch was incredible! We were seated near the fire place…perfect for a chilly winter’s day! The olive oil fried eggs with smashed potatoes and farm salad were absolutely fantastic…savory yet light! We also had the bread pudding French toast which were light and sweet…heavenly and felt more like a dessert! Loved it all and consistently a favorite of mine in the city! Cannot wait to return :)

The food and service were impeccable. I had 2 non alcoholic drinks, Pom-persimmon and the pineapple ginger. Both were delicious and beautifully garnished. I had an appetizer special, baked oysters, seasoned to perfection. For my main, I had the slow cooked short rib and it is one of the best I ever had. It was served on a bed of celery mash and bok choy. For dessert I had the passion fruit pineapple coconut cake. I also got to finish my dining companions chocolate peanut bomb. I will definitely be back to try their other offerings. Everything was superb. Highly recommended.
