    Music in the restaurant is amazing, super vibes and the perfect volume. Cocktails are outstanding. Food is great as well. We had the chefs menu (55$ per person) and it came with 7 courses. The first 3 were great on their own but when put back to back it became very salty. (Anchovies on toast, olives, pickled vegetables, salad with salty vinaigrette). 3 dishes that are salt forward following each other was a little much. So the rest of the dishes were a welcome variation of flavour.

    We decided to do the chefs tasting menu, and it personally wasn't for me, and that's okay. There were a few dishes that stood out more than others, such as the cured tuna and prawns. Our server was fantastic and really made the night for us. She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and accomadating. I'd give it another shot, maybe try some things on the main menu and a few more cocktails. Cheers!

    Food was just okay. There were certain flavour combos I didn’t enjoy. This is more fusion - nice ambiance and great service but I won’t go back.

    Ambience and service was great but cocktails and food weren’t so memorable and a bit over priced. There were limited items on the menu and some weren’t even available then.

    Hurry and go before you can’t get a table. Best meal we’ve had on Commercial Drive in ages. Tables aren’t crowded. A quiet, funky vibe. Cool music. And wonderful food. Chef explained all the dishes and they were delicious. A wonderful menu for sharing.
