    My husband and dined here to celebrate my birthday which we done several times in the past. Our waitress Dana was excellent and made the experience that much more pleasant. I had beet root salad with whipped feta cheese, pistachios, fresh dill and oranges slices. It was tasty and light. The oysters were fresh and crispy too. The mignonette was peach, mint, ginger and onion which I really liked. The bison tartare with crispy homemade cracker had smoked gouda on it which I hadn't had before and was sceptic about but it was surprisingly good too. My meal overall was vey good. My husband ordered the NY Striploin and the size was almost too big. He likes med rare and although it looked pink it was hard to cut through. The veggies were cooked perfectly, potato pave very tasty as was onion puree. Atmosphere was very quiet in main dining as there were very few of us. There was a large group in the side room that seemed to be having a very pleasant time. I would recommend for special occasions again. We received a small adjustment to the bill when we advised that the steak was not what we expected based on our past experiences. We will come back in the future.

    We had brunch reservations to celebrate my mum’s 90th Birthday. The food was excellent but rather large portions. The Service staff were outstanding. My Mum has some mobility issues which they were so helpful with. Team was super friendly and supportive. We had a sunny winter day with beautiful views of Fish Creek
