A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.

    Absolutely an incredible dinner! We started off with the Poutine and Pork Belly, the. Dove right into the 30oz bone in NY Strip with the fried Mac and cheese croquettes and pork and kimchi fried rice. We also selected the Thai Chili and Hous Chili crunch sauces as an accompaniment to the steak.(which was not entirely necessary, but added extra flare and spice to the steak. Sadly we were far too full and could not entertain even the thought of dessert. But we will definitely be back. The cocktails were well balanced and decently priced given the aesthetic and our own expectations. Overall for two people going all out $383.00(gratuity included) was honestly and totally worth it. We will definitely be back! And soon! Incredible experience!

    Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

    Went here for Valentine’s with the hubby. The atmosphere was intimate and lovely. They gave us a rose, there were rose petals on the table, and the other patrons were all having their conversations at the same level so there was just a nice quiet mummer over the restaurant. It was so nice and the food was terrific, it was the first dinner in months where neither of us felt drawn to take out our phones. The energy was just right for us to feel like being engaging with one another. 10/10 would (and most likely will) dine again.

    A great place for a nice, sit down lunch. There's a real lack of nice places that aren't too expensive downtown. We both ordered the steak frites and they were magnificent. Service was great, N/A negronis were top tier, we'll definitely return.

    Such a great place! Excellent people and train watching, we were lucky to get that twilight magic full with outside evening lights. The food is really something, masterfully created and very tasty. Perfect music vibe and sound from vinyl records, hope to be back soon!
