    Fun and unique dining experience. We went for our 6 year anniversary which was a special treat. All the courses came out perfectly paced in time. The food options were all great and very flavorful! We really enjoyed the food and some highlights were the lamb and the burrata "pasta salad".

    The tasting menu was balanced yet creative - but the friendly service was the standout. I was on a solo date and the team was so incredibly friendly, sat me at the bar with them and chatted with me in between other customers, and described every item on the tasting menu so I felt good about my choices. The bison tartare was fresh and phenomenal, the cauliflower was smoky and citrusy, and the cod was so comforting. I finished with a tea made by a group of locals and the pecan carrot cake which was a cross between carrot cake and sticky toffee pudding, it seemed - decadent. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

    A Winnipeg gem! We were lucky to try a brand new testing menu that was superb. It's rare to be able to get food this refined in such a casual environment. Can't wait for the next visit!
