Don’t know how I feel about this place. Came for early dinner for 5. Place is barely empty.

Service was meh. She came checked on us 2-3x, could have give us info about happy hour. Both servers looked like they don’t want to be there

Food presentation was good: Food was bland. Had Rose Rigatoni on veggies, you’d expect partial load of Veges but centimeter size of zucchini,tomatoes etc

We’re seated @ corner by washroom “ no lights “ but natural light from window

Had an incredible time here! My server was wonderful, we were there at a time when it wasn’t too busy (brunch at around 12 pm) and my dish was delicious. I ordered steak (medium well) and eggs. The dish was filling and well worth the price. Would highly recommend a visit!

We went in for brunch and got a pork belly benny, the chicken salt fries with hot honey, and the mango hotcakes - which were all so delicious! The hot honey was an add on and really tasty but we found that it over powered the chicken salt (we couldn’t taste it). Pork belly was flavourful and juicy and cooked quite perfectly. The mango hot cakes were light and fluffy, not too sweet which we loved. Food was plated very aesthetically and the restaurant interior was also exquisite and nice to look at. Our servers were fast and sweet! We’ll be back for dinner and cocktails soon 🙂

I really enjoyed the fried chicken burger, the chicken is crispy, flavourful, and fresh. My husband had the steak and was perfectly cooked to medium. The waitress is kind and loved her energy. We just moved in the area, it's nice to know we have a nice spot to have dinner close by.

First time eating here. I ordered the steak and eggs. I had my eggs scrambled and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was slightly undercooked. I asked for a well done steak as I’m pregnant and since it is likely something they do not cook often (well done) it was medium-well closer to well done but not fully. The manager or supervisor corrected the mistake and provided excellent customer service.

The vegetables that it came with tasted delicious and it was perfectly cooked.

The Biscoff French toast was amazing. 10/10. Very pricy but delicious. Definately something to share.

The service was great. Staff were friendly. Food had excellent presentation.

This was my first time dining here, and although I don’t like leaving negative reviews, I have to say that today’s experience was disappointing.

First of all, upon entering the restaurant, we had to look for a staff member to get seated — no one approached us or acknowledged us proactively. After waiting a few minutes, we were finally shown to a table, but it had just been vacated by the previous guests. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t clean the table at all — the surface was still sticky, and the chairs were left in a messy state.

After we finished our meal, when a staff member came to clear our plates, we’re quite sure she noticed that the plates were stuck to the sticky table. Hopefully, she realized just how dirty the table was.

Additionally, the dine-in environment was extremely noisy, which made it hard to enjoy the meal.

I’ve been here a good amount of times to have a solid opinion now. Recently went with a group of 7 and we were all honestly really impressed. We shared a bunch of dishes and liked every single one (which rarely happens at other restaurants, especially with big groups).

You can tell they put thought into the flavors and presentation (every dish is so cute! Def insta worthy) The space feels cute modern and relaxed, and the staff were so friendly and are great with recommendations (especially if you’re indecisive like me😆)

It’s one of those spots that just gets it right. Would 100% recommend taking your girlies here

The food is good here. A little pricey but the flavour made it worth it. We came Saturday afternoon around 1pm (We didn’t have reso’s) Waited around 30 minutes to be seated. We ordered the avocado toast, chicken and waffles, hot cakes for my friend’s kid and the corn fritters to share. My niece definitely enjoyed her hot cakes. The corn fritters were to die for. The chicken and waffles is not what you’d expect but the marinara sauce I guess helps (the waffles were a little bit dry). Still, the flavour was great and the avocado toast my friend was good but a lot of stuff on it. Oh, and the pickled radish on everything was so yummy. We also ordered a macchiato which was yummy and an iced Americano, which is great. I would definitely come back and try some of their other dishes, although maybe not with a kid considering they don’t really have a kids menu and they’re not willing to substitute anything but they’ll put it on the side for you instead.
