It was a fun experience in an exclusive dedicated space of your dining experience. The ambiance and decor felt luxurious. The heater and air filter were a nice touch inside the dome. My dedicated waitress, Alisa was excellent and knowledgeable. She was pleasant and kind. The dome felt incredibly spacious with a table that can seat 10 people.

About the restaurant

At Farm and Fire we believe that good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Our menu features only the freshest ingredients from local Canadian farmers. Because it’s slow roasted and wood-fired, we bring out the natural flavours Mother Nature intended. Come enjoy our warm and open modern dining space. Toast with friends by the warmth of the fire and stay for a while. Or, order your food to go and dine wherever you like, at your own pace.

*PLEASE NOTE, WE HAVE LOTS OF SPACE FOR WALK-INS*

The restaurant was very busy but we had a breakfast reservation and were seated when we arrived. The food was very good and the service was well above average.
