Additional Information
Ambience, cocktails, and staff were great. But I found the food could have been better. I was not a fan of the oysters and the... lamb I got was all fat. Will be willing to try again but if consistent to the first time then I will say it's overpriced food. Read more
We started out at the bar, not a warm welcome I have to say, then we were seated and totally welcomed. We had our wine, then... food started to come out and everything was delicious!! Then the pork dish with beet spatzel came out, I could not eat, one ofus thought it was supposed to taste that way, my husband couldn't eat and we told the other person to not eat, it was definitelyrotten meat. We were told there was sauerkraut in the dish, it's not mentioned in description, and no way tasted like it, ithonestly tasted rotten. It was taken off our bill, but it absolutely was rotten meat, you could taste and smell. Sorry. We lovedthe place until that point. Read more
Interesting experience! The ambience is great and the service was excellent. Cocktails are unique - I had an aperol whip which... was light and well balanced flavor wise. The food menu was a bit confusing but I tried a few of the smaller plates and adessert. The waiter was well aware of gluten free options and which had the possibility of cross contamination. The chick peaand pumpkin panisse with orange turmeric yogurt was an interesting combination of flavors but not one that I particularlyenjoyed. I also tried the pommes paillasson which was essentially a giant hash brown. The highlight was the grilled sweet potatoice cream with blood orange, it was just the right touch of sweetness and very light on the palate. All in all, a very uniqueexperience and worth it for the ambience and drinks alone! Food options are definitely for refined foodies with an adventurouspalate! Read more
Service was friendly and helpful, and also considerate of covid safety, although nobody in the restaurant or any of the staff... were wearing masks, we were, and when the server approached to ask how the food was they stood back 6 ft so we didn't have toput our mask back on, which I thought was courteous. The atmosphere was very nice, plush velour chairs, lots of live plants, oldfashioned ceiling fixtures and then an overall industrial feel to the restaurant with the walls and ceiling. Only complaintsabout the atmosphere are that the table was very small and there was terrible punk rock music playing the first 15 minutes wewere there. We ordered four dishes, the smoked rice balls with olive and cheese, the root vegetable blanquette, a rutabaga withlemon sauce and Salisbury duck meatballs with mushrooms. We both enjoyed the smoked rice balls the best, great texture, greatflavor, would definitely eat those again. My friend said the duck meatballs and mushrooms were great and he rated those fourstars. The rutabaga was....meh. not much flavor to it and the menu said it was cooked overnight but it still wasn't soft. Thelemon sauce that was on it had a decent flavor with a runny consistency. The root vegetable blanquette had a nice silkymouthfeel, but the flavor was lacking, quite bland. There's no salt or pepper on the tables either, which always feels to melike a display of arrogance. We both agreed that overall it's not a place we would likely go back to, especially considering theportion size and the price, small portions that are overpriced. I wouldn't mind that if it was higher quality organic food butit's not. I love that they have very creative dishes, but I think they're doing themselves a disservice with how the menu ispresented, the average person would have to Google almost every dish on the menu because of how they choose to word thedescription of the dishes, only someone that was moderately knowledgeable about cuisine and culinary lingo would Read more

Our dining experience here was absolute disappointment. The highlights really were the drinks and everything went downhill from... there. Service was the worst as we struggled to get a hold of the staff to put in our requests — some of which was met withattitude. The food fell short in quality of ingredients and taste with 2 things being okay (the lamb skewers and based on theparty’s feedback, the lump crab risotto). We were really hopeful and excited about this business and unfortunately, it didnot meet basic expectations at all. Read more
