It’s a hidden gem, from the minute we walked in till we left we we weee treated extra well, staff are very knowledgeable which makes conversations pretty interesting. I will come back again and again. Give the bartender/mixologist an idea about what you are looking for and she will come up with something out of this world. Thank you to all for making our last stop an unforgettable experience.

Server was so knowledgeable and helpful. Menu was hefty but the server helped us determine what we would like and it was spot on. My group ended up trying almost every cocktail on the menu and none disappointed.

Exceptional attention to detail from seating, stemware to presentation of food, intimate ambience with very cool vibe. We started our evening deciding with which of their unique cocktails to try, it didn’t disappoint, followed by 3 of the appetizers - all were beautifully presented and delicious, their wine list offers sustainable wines. We will definitely be going back to see Karina and the talented team. Overall experience for this hidden gem on William Street is 10/10.

Great food, great service. The food menu has a good variety of items to choose from, all well presented with a great blend of flavours. The drink menu offers several options for both cocktails and mocktails. All in all it was a really nice evening out.
