    Amazing place! Vegetarian menu has quite a few options to choose from. Everything we’ve tried left such a good impression. Food is so tasty. Cocktails are so good as well. “Peach better have my money” had me surprised with spicy-sweet taste. And old pump mechanisms will attract your attention for sure. In top 3 across MB, ON and AB for me. Highly recommend 🙌

    Food was absolutely amazing. It was a nice quiet night and it showed slightly in the service as servers were not the most attentive

    This is our 3rd time having dinner here - Menu has done an update - undecided if we like the new update - certain options that we had before weren't available which was disappointing as our daughter has a seafood allergy but everything seemed to have oyster sauce or something fishy and cilantro - I have an allergy to cilantro so that took a chunk of the menu out for both of us. The waitress was pleasant and tried to help but seemed lost as to cross contaminations when it came to the fryers - 'are the fries done in their own fryer away from the seafood/fish items' as the only option that enticed our daughter was the poutine ( which was very good) she did go and check and confirm - so that was nice and it was safe from cross contaminations. 2 plate mix ups - 1)we ordered a Ceaser Salad to start but then cancelled it - due to the allergy - but it still came out - but they removed it from the bill 2) I ordered the Mango Pesto Cauliflower which was suppose to come with feta - the first dish they bought me didn't have any - but a 2nd dish magically appeared without me asking - with the Feta at no charge - As much as we loveD dining here - I think we are going to take a small break and read the menu much closer for our next visit to make sure we have a better selection.

    We are so happy we went! The staff were amazing and the food was good. We did have a hiccup in the beginning with our table located next to the glass window. There was a very bright light that shone into our eyes. The staff were wonderful about relocating us. Would recommend.
