Si il y aurait un option de donner plus que cinq étoiles je vous aurais donner 10. Service exceptionnel & un déjeuner délicieux. Je recommande cette place à tous qui ont la chance de visiter.

Food - we went to this place twice during our stay & food was good. Servers were nice & polite both the times.
So now you wonder why do I give them 2 star review? Here I go - we went to the place for dinner. They have inside & outise seating options. As we sat inside yday for lunch, we were keen to seat outside. We were party of 3 & there was an empty outside table for capacity of 4. There were 2 old ladies ahead of us, who were'already' offered table for 2 inside. They made some noise & threatened the host (name - Anais) to leave & she immediately gave them outside table which was ideally suitable for us party of 3. She shamelessly forced us to sit inside if we want to & also denied us joining 2 small tables near the window seating. She was very rude & was not moved when we showed unwillingness. This was pure'discrimination'! This is totally unacceptable.

ANAIS - you know who we are as you saw me asking your name to my server & we are extremely pissed off with your behavior.
Management - pay attention to your nasty staff.

Of course we are not going to visit you again as we are tourists but this bad experience will stay with us forever!

Do not be misled by another reviewer. Even the avocado toast has dairy in the guac. The only vegan options our waiter offered were coffee, tea, & potatoes. Even if the restaurant's reply below states they can make modifications, none was offered.

very cozy restaurant with a fantastic menu. lots of gluten free options, clearly marked. I had the beef cheek shepherds pie & it exceeded my expectations! it was divine. it's hard to find gluten free options like this so I was beyond thrilled. highly suggested reservations, which are located on the website.

We came in for dinner, few adults & kids & also came back for breakfast on a different day

The atmosphere is very cozy
The service is super quick & the staff are very nice

There were kid friendly menu options that the kids seem to enjoy very much

Dinner 4/5
I ordered
Beef tartare which was fresh & well seasoned,also comes in a nice size portion

Ceaser salad with grilled chicken - the salad itself was nice ,I was a bit thrown off by the fact that the chicken was cold though but that might be just my personal preference

Washed it all down with the Bloody mary ( it has a different name on the menu but for the life of me I can't remember)- the cocktail comes with this bacon wrapped sosage that was very yummy , the tomato blend is tasty but was a bit light on the alcohol portion in my opinion

Breakfast/Brunch 5/5
We ordered different combos & everyone enjoyed everything!
I ordered
Eggs Benedict with duck confie , side of crispy bacon,side of crape & a Berry smoothie
The crape was delicious as is ,no need to even put maple on it
The eggs- perfectly made & I like that you can order 1 or 2 eggs. This allowed me to be able to taste more sides because ordered 1 egg.
The apple butter is delicious
The smoothie was super fresh as well
Very recommend for brunck/breakfast.Have some patiance, gets very bussy in the morning

We went for lunch, TBH, I didn't research before so I chose it because they have plenty tables & I wanted something quiet- it was quiet at 3pm-

We had the salmon tartare (a bit small portion) , summer salad (chicken was well cooked & was well oil drained) & the red beer option, although it was a bit warm & kinda sweet for me but just wanted to have a quick meal & continue the walk.

This restaurant is one of the best options if your in the area. There's a variety of food ranging from high protein meals all the way to vegetarian options. I ordered one of the ribs in maple syrup sauce. I really liked the sauce that was marinating the ribs. It was well seasoned & flavorful.

Delicious, with gluten free & vegetarian options. Able to accommodate a large group of 11 when reserved ahead of time for 2 tables.
