Great for brunch
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Dinner is available Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Happy Hour and nightly specials!

Serving Brunch 7 days a week starting at 10AM on Weekdays and 9AM on Weekends.

We offer a fresh perspective on the classic neighbourhood eatery, throwing back to a simpler, more wholesome time when eating out was fun, approachable and most importantly, accessible. It brings patrons back to the mid-twentieth century – an era defined by a feel-good, optimistic mentality that influenced popular culture and food. Think Leave it to Beaver, Superbad, and Saved By The Bell came together in the most epic way possible.
