We moved in the neighborhood & was looking to celebrate our 25th. Did mention that at the time of reservation but no one acknowledge or wished. The ambiance was nice, server was pleasant, appetizer (fish cake) was good. Main course (shrimp papardelle) was dry & bland, Shrimp was raw. We both had an upset stomach. Very disappointing. Didn't spend all that money to eat boiled pasta & semi raw shrimps. Dessert was extremely sweet. One goes to restaurant for food, not ambiance. We not not recommend eating here, but just for drinks

Food was good but nothing extraordinary. The steak was a bit chewy. But the restaurant allowed our dog to sit with us on the patio and the overall vibes and the service was excellent! Lots of locals and regulars.

Came for the Thanksgiving turkey special. The turkey was phenomenal, juicy, with terrific gravy and sides. The mashed potatoes were among the tastiest I'd eaten in Toronto. It is always a joy to discover fantastic new restaurants outside of one's neighbourhood.

It has a really nice patio and a really nice decor. The food is just OK but I think it is a little overpriced for the quality of the food and the location. It shows that the food is made in house but it’s just ok. I think there are better options on church street. The chicken pot pie is good but needs a side such as potato’s or fries.

Love this place! We reserved the private event space for my mother's Celebration of Life and it was perfect. We couldn't have been happier with the space, the staff and the food. Jimmy the manager was very accommodating and respected the importance of the occasion. He also personally took care of tons little details that made it extra special, and kept checking in throughout. I highly recommend this space for private events! The main floor is always a good time too- you can't go wrong with yummy food and expertly made drinks! Good quality and genuine friendliness is hard to find these days- we'll definitely be back!
