I donated blood platelets at Red Cross and the staff said to increase iron in my diet so made reservations at our local steak place. Doctor's orders! Had the filet with horseradish cream, a wedge salad, brussels and fries on the side. So good! Only sad I couldn't have a cocktail or wine since you're not supposed to drink after donating blood:( Luckily, we got a table inside since it was a bit chilly to sit outside in the streatery.

Nice and clean environment. Good selection of food items. I liked the lamb meatball appetizer—a pretty unique item and had bold flavors. The curry fried chicken wasn’t as crispy has I had hoped. I was also expecting actual curry sauce. Still, it wasn’t bad. The dessert options were a bit limited—only three to choose from: cheesecake, chocolate cake, and lemon meringue tart. Service was unexpectedly good for a small restaurant like this—very attentive, refilled my water, came to take my orders and served them at a good pace. I do wish they could they ApplePay tho. I don’t think the sautéed mushrooms side should cost $10, but I do like that they serve it. Maybe consider some sauce to go with the mushrooms too.

Very disappointed with the food choices. We all four had the same choice, as there was nothing that appealed to us. We used to love the fried chicken, no one wanted to try a curry fried chicken. Our burgers were all way overcooked, not a typical smash burger well done. So bummed, we used to love timber and salt!

My friend and I went for my birthday dinner! What a delight in every way! the staff is happy and friendly, without being intrusive. the portions are generous and—well , we are both foodies—so perfectly plated and seasoned. We each had a cocktail special, and then we shared mapled brussel sprouts, a ribeye, scallops, and mashed potatoes. We weren't gong to but we cave for the perfect little lemon meringue tart! Oh!And the piped music was lively and the dining crowd clearly enjoying the food, the atmosphere and each other. What a happy place!
