    Menu changes very often and this menu was the least interesting one… everything was funky and the ‘vegetarian’ pasta had some kind of snail in it….. plus the coleslaw was pretty much the costco mix of dill salad…. This is however the first time that we’ve left there disappointed.

    The table d’hôte is the way to go, the braised beef and Wellington are great. The ambience and restaurant are very cute and the food is very fresh since it’s all locally sourced. Great place for an intimate dinner or small group of friends.:)
