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. From sourcing natural and organic ingredients to selecting special kindling for our wood burning Josper oven, we have a love for food and hospitality that is best when shared with our friends and guests.

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.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our honeymoon at FinePrint, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly special, and the attention to detail from the entire staff elevated our evening beyond expectations. A huge thank you to Jules, our waitress, whose attentiveness and warmth made our night unforgettable. She anticipated our every need — refilling drinks, ensuring we were comfortable, and making us feel truly cared for without ever being intrusive. Her service was impeccable. I also want to recognize Sarah and Casey who helped me plan a surprise earlier in the week. When I called to ask if there was anything I could do to make the night even more special, she immediately suggested adding flowers to our table. Within 30 minutes, everything was arranged perfectly, setting the stage for a romantic and memorable evening. The ambiance was incredible. We were seated at what felt like the best spot in the house, with a perfect view of the chefs in action — an experience that added a unique and exciting element to our meal. Watching their craftsmanship was mesmerizing and made us appreciate the culinary artistry even more. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the FinePrint team went above and beyond to make our night one we will never forget. This was more than just dinner — it was a celebration, a memory, and an experience we will cherish forever. Thank you to the entire FinePrint staff for making our honeymoon celebration so special. If you’re looking for a place where incredible food, exceptional service, and unforgettable experiences come together, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough.

This was our first time at FinePrint. Having Jules take care of us made it an even more elevated experience. From navigating the menu and even off-menu suggestions our group of 7 enjoyed old-world service with modern comforts and familiarity. Thanks, Jules!

Lovely inviting atmosphere and fantastic YYCEXP lunch experience. Highlight: the chicory salad was surprising (in a good way) and so refreshing. Service professional and friendly but not fussy. Will return to try other menu and cocktail items. Thanks to head chef Francis Martinez and team.
