    Great space, piano player was fun, good is exceptional, restaurant is beautiful. Why the 4/5 stars? The service - lovely people but it took 20 minutes to get anyone to talk to us, saw our waitress three times in 2.5 hours, could not order another drink, could not get anyone. They seemed busy and short staffed, a few more hands on deck and they would be exceptional

    I enjoyed the vegetarian option - Cauliflower Rice - others did pasta and the course meals offered. You will pay a little more but the food but it is worth it - delicious every time. The Chef does not disappoint. Would love to see more non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu (currently only two Zero Proof options which for return customers means drinking the same thing). The environment on a Saturday night is loud - we went at 8 pm - challenging to have a conversation even when seated away from the front bar and piano. That said, super fun if you're with loud talkers and people with no hearing issues - a lively and fun environment for some fun music and cocktails. Straining and draining for low talkers and those with hearing issues. Service was lovely but unfortunately very slow (both times and both dayparts we have gone). Regardless, this is a neighbourhood gem, and would recommend. Incredible food that is well worth the money and will have your tastebuds sing.

    Had the best time celebrating my partner’s birthday here at a table in the piano bar. We absolutely loved the food, the ambiance and the team. One of the best meals we’ve had in the city; I am still dreaming about the lamb belly! I love having a hospitable, elegant, yet also casual place to have amazing food, drinks and music any night of the week!
