Wonderful charcuterie setting and options. Enjoyed two different wines by the glass and wife enjoyed a Japanese style beer in Canada. Delicious! Dana our server was also excellent. Made suggestions and very clear about all the items on the charcuterie board, which was very helpful with so many options. Great place for a quiet meal and wine in a busy historic hotel. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and cozy ambience, tasty food and pleasant service. But in such a winebar I would expect much more local wines. Please improve the winelist and let the guests discover the wide range of great Canadian wines.
