Truly a great spot. Not cheap, but worth it. Sam (BT) is an absolute delight. Would recommend they look at bolstering the cellar with some Canadian wines, but overall, 10/10 would recommend!

Unexpectedly fine food offered up in a casual setting. The options are not run-of-the-mill, with even standard fare having a twist. The burger is made of venison and is delicious! Well worth a try.

The service was great, food was delicious and the environment warm and comfy on a cold winter afternoon. We had a table for two by the bar. It was nice and snug. We were ushered quick to our resso table. I would recommend the Mushroom Tostada.
