    Really enjoyed our overall experience. Happy hour has many great appetizers all for $7 each and great cocktails as well. The Haddock tacos, buffalo cauliflower bites and wings were really good. If Vegan you have the option of mock chicken tacos. Loved the ambience and our waitress was so friendly. We had a lovely conversation with her. Will definitely go back

    Lovely intimate and quiet restaurant to dine in before heading to the theatre. We shared the trio of dips, caesar salad, and pork and bison meatballs. Everything was delicious. The server (I wish I knew the gentleman's name) was very attentive and such a nice man. I was mostly impressed that the wine list was predominantly Ontario wines! As we were leaving, I commented to the bar tender about the wine list and the food and beverage manager just happened to be there. He said it was deliberate to offer mostly Ontario wines and I thanked him. Buy Canadian!
