Restaurant was closed with a sign from landlord saying non payment of rent. We had no advance warning from restaurant despite having made a reservation. Very disappointing

I booked this reservation for my husband's birthday, because he had been looking forward to going for months, maybe years. We were not disappointed, well with the exception of not having seal tartare. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was so helpful and friendly. We will be back this summer.

Outstanding cousine. All the dishes have root in the indigenous culture, they are tasty, colorful and the portions are reasonable (you can enjoy the full meal from the starter to the dessert). Probably, the dishes were slightly too salty but this is only personal taste. Nice space but they are changing location next week. Super

Amazing atmosphere! We picked this place as a dinner spot for my Mom's birthday and she loved it. Despite the food being out of the usual dinner selection everything was insanely tasty and so well paired together! Our server was very polite and attentive. He was very knowledgable and was able to answer all our questions about the history of the restaurant and the menu options.

A wonderful and unique dining experience. Nice to go to a place that experiments with a number of familiar and not so familiar ingredients to produce some unique dishes that our group thoroughly enjoyed. Service was attentive and on target.

The tartare was a bit salty and the elk was a little over charred, but all and all a great meal. I would go back just to see if the chef / cook was having an off night because the flavours were great as was the service.

The food is interesting and well prepared. I personally found the good too salty but it didn’t detract from the enjoyment. Service was very good given that one person manages the entire room. Different foods. Different tastes. A lovely experience. I would have liked to see the menu in both English and First Nations language.
