Our award winning head chef Francis Martinez executes a menu that honours local producers to deliver contemporary dishes with a soft french influence. From our celebrated sablefish to the finest local beef, from small delicious snacks to robust courses, we aim to create a special experience for every guest.

The attention to detail we seek starts with our local farmers and producers and transcends to our preparation and cooking styles.

Excellent food, it was really quite loud, like hard to conversate loud. Never been so I was anticipating more of a fine dining, quiet dinner type atmosphere but its more hopping, vibey. Which is fine, just not what I was expecting.

Lovely space, good sound level of background hum without making it hard to converse. Nice menu, one where multiple options whet the appetite and make it hard to pick just one. Both mains were delicious and well presented. Server Sarah was fabulous, perfect at her craft, knowledgeable and make great wine recommendations. Definitely recommended for a great dining experience.

Our server was very good, and very knowledgeable about the drink menu and recommendations for pairing. He was very attentive and made it an enjoyable meal. The food was great. We had the salmon tartare, the bison tartare and the tempura beans. All were great. The striploin blue rare came as expected with an amazing cook on it, probably one of the best blue rares we’ve seen. The lobster risotto was very good, as was the mushroom gnocchi. The sablefish was also cooked to perfection. Overall it was a great meal with family that everyone enjoyed immensely. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

After being seated, it took about 10-15 minutes before anyone came to check on us. However, once the server arrived, they were very attentive and knowledgeable, taking the time to describe the menu and recommend beverages. The food was overall good, though my surf and turf dish wasn't very warm when it arrived. The food also took a bit longer than expected. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm glad I tried it.
