    A true hidden gem. Always an absolute pleasure and last night was no exception! The new scallop dish may sound a bit unorthodox but it was easily the highlight of an overall stellar meal. Amazingly attentive service, great wine menu, excellent food and ambiance.

    One of my favourite places in Vancouver. So cozy with a small group or full of life with live music. Delicious food and wine. Crave the food here!

    Trouble with the heat the night we were there so it was hard to relax and enjoy when we were so cold. Service was not as good as our first time there. We kept having to ask for a waiter. Food quality was good.
