Tasting Menu - Green
CA$170.00 per person
Prepaid
Mar 22, 2025 - Jun 20, 2025
We are proud to introduce Green—our newest tasting menu. This menu is a celebration of renewal, capturing the energy of Spring as it awakens with new life. A menu inspired by the season’s vibrancy through a singular lens: the colour that defines life itself. Ingredients at their peak—fresh from the soil, the forest, and the ocean—bring bright, fresh to the table. Each dish reflects this moment of growth and abundance, shaping a menu that feels vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to its origins. As you move through the menu, you’ll experience a progression of flavors that highlight the ingredients we love most this time of year. Each course is a reflection of how these elements come together—connected by the landscapes they come from and the season that brings them to life.

May 4, 2025 - Jun 20, 2025
Our Sage menu is a five-course tasting experience that offers a curated expression of our seasonal cooking. Built on the same philosophy as our Green menu—peak ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and a strong sense of place—Sage delivers a focused progression of dishes with the same care and intention behind every plate that our full menu offers.

The Kentucky Fried Maitake was out of this world amazing. We loved everything but would have eaten 2 buckets of them with gluttonous abandon. The disco foie gras was so fun! Can’t wait to come back. Please always keep the maitake. What is the dark magic that makes them so delicious?

The service was exceptional, we chose to have the server choose our plates, no disappointment there. Three of us had 7 plates of food to share. The presentation was so beautiful, artful in fact. The dessert was heavenly, rhubarb 3 different ways. Truly an experience, I would definitely return for another round.
