Put simply, this is among the best fish and chips I've ever had. I got the one piece halibut and the bisque. The bisque has a chipotle coconut base, and it's unique and delicious. The fish was fried to perfection, and the halibut inside was a steamy triumph. I added some chipotle lime mayo for the chips. The tartar was lemony and crisp. Chips had that perfect crunchy outer shell with the pillowy potato innards. Cooked to perfection fish and chips while you watch the takeoff and landing of seaplanes. O Canada!

As someone with celiac who also loves food, dining out can be stressful, but their gluten‑free awareness absolutely blew me away. The staff didn't just offer GF options -- they understood them. Our server was incredible: knowledgeable, kind, and completely confident about every accommodation available. I never once felt like a burden for asking questions. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the care they put into allergy‑friendly dining made the whole experience feel special. Highly recommend for anyone with celiac, allergies, or food sensitivities -- and for anyone who just wants a truly lovely meal.

After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

The interior of the restaurant was quaint. The service was minimal. We tried their specialty beef rice noodles called "Beef Crossing The Bridge" - which was served deconstructed: bowl of broth, bowl of noodles, 11 toopings/ingredients (e.g. bean curd, broccoli, a quail egg, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots), raw beef, and cooked beef. We also tried an order of pork belly and rice, won ton soup, and pan-fried dumplings. The beef rice noodle dish was bland - broth was lacking flavor and depth but the noodles had a nice, smooth texture. The pork belly dish had tender pieces of pork belly but the dish itself lacked in flavor. The won ton and dumplings were decent but nothing special.

From what I gather, other customers were also very pleased with their meals and some were frequent diners so I would definitely recommend this for a small intimate date night or even a larger bday group. It was both of our first times in Canada and this was the perfect meal to treat ourselves to on our last night. Thank you not so Ugly Duckling!

Breakfast was good - yoghurts, continental style, etc. Recommend the pancakes (3 cakes) so you can try Alberta maple syrup. Dinner was a leisurely-paced (2hr) affair. Waiter was outstanding. Started with the Mezze platter with hummus. Unfortunately the hummus lacked flavor. The "short rib" wasn't a typical short rib. It was sous vide at 65 Celsius (~150 F) for a nice medium steak. A bit fatty but good overall. Ended with a chocolate torte, which was fantastic. Definitely come, if a bit pricey.

The seafood pasta had the same lobster flavors as well. Must try this place again.

We tried several rolls, and the Chubby Daddy was definitely the standout. It had a great balance of flavors and was easily our favorite. The Lucky Strike Roll was also very good- I think it would be a fantastic introduction to sushi for someone who's new to it or a little hesitant, since the smoked salmon flavor is approachable and familiar. The tempura avocado wasn't quite for us, as it was a bit too mushy, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish. We also ordered another roll to share, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to the others. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and was clearly high quality. Combined with the excellent service and a beautiful patio that's perfect for summer dining, we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
