Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

Our server was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, walking us through the entire menu and explaining their Come For Dinner option, which is essentially a tasting menu. While it sounded tempting, we decided to order à la carte. We had the brussel sprout toast, crispy squid, duck liver mousse, rye cavatelli (pasta), sablefish, fries, and short rib. The standouts were definitely the brussel sprout toast and the rye cavatelli. I'm a huge brussel sprouts fan, so I knew I'd love the toast. They really load it up, and it's a crispy delight. I'd never had rabbit before, so I was a little nervous about the cavatelli, but the flavour was great. The sablefish came with a sweet sauce/paste that made the dish really unique and memorable. And the short rib was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly. The only dish I didn't love was the liver mousse--the texture just wasn't for me, a bit too mushy. But the buckwheat waffles it came with were delicious! Overall, the dishes at this quaint spot are unique, inventive, and clearly crafted with care. It's definitely a great choice for the foodie friend or anyone who wants to try something new.

The food is consistent, which honestly matters more than people give credit for. You know what you're getting and it delivers every time. The street corn with chips is legendary -- I've had people travel from the west end just to experience it, and it never disappoints. The roasted Brussels sprouts with dip are equally addictive. The birria tacos and fish tacos are solid, the drinks are great, and the staff are genuinely kind every single visit. This is one of my favourite spots I bring people when I want to impress without explaining myself. Highly recommend.

Good cocktails! Whitby has needed a place like this…read more I was here on Friday night for a bite and some drinks. I heard a good reputations among locals. I had: Food - Jackfruit Tacos Drinks - Heat wave & Golden I have never had jackfruit before, so I do not know what the taste/texture is supposed to be like. I think this dish was created as a part of their "vegetarian friendly" efforts. The jackfruit had a good spicy kick. Overall, pleasant flavor but the texture was kind of monotone, not extracting the unique character of the ingredients. I found the soft taco was a bit bland and the texture was not as smooth. The drinks were great. They use a lot of interesting tropical fruits/plants' liquor and syrup. Each cocktail was loaded with sufficient booze. This place is definitely worth coming back for cocktails and other drinks. They have a interesting beer selection as well, mostly from local small breweries. They seem to be using a lot of local artist's work in their decorations as well, which makes me want to support them more. A new oasis right in the center of the town. Welcome!

Mains: - Market Fish - 9/10 - rainbow trout. fish was very flavourful. We really enjoyed this dish. Potatoes were crispy and mixed well with the creamy fish. - Short Rib Tagliatelle - 8/10 - portion was big, a bit heavy for me, but flavours were still good. We had some leftover. Dessert: - Affogato - 8/10 - the chocolate ice cream had chocolate dipped coffee beans which gave a good crunch to the ice cream. The pistachio biscotti was good too. Service was great, atmosphere was cozy, and the views were nice. They seated us facing the windows and it was intimate. Seats were very comfortable. Lots of parking outside too.

Heavy wood and metal accents paired great with the amount of sun that flooded this restaurant. Sitting at the bar near its open patio doors effectively brought the outdoors in. For food, I had the chicken a la plancha. Over both the perfectly roasted potatoes and arugula, the lemon vinaigrette brought a brightness to the dish I really enjoyed. My only reason they didn't get 5 stars is the pace of service. There were 4 people at the bar, and maybe 6 other tables for a total of 20 people. Took a long time for the bartender to take my order and even longer for my food to come. Really sad. Almost 2 hours from beginning to end.

The ambiance is quite nice but the vibe was off for me. I couldn't put my finger on it at first but having reflected on the evening, I feel as though the staff was just condescending and 'fake'. I ordered the lobster tacos and the other guests I was with, both ordered the prime rib sandwich. They saw the sandwich delivered to another table and were impressed by the size and presentation. They, however, did not receive the same and were quite disappointed. That being said, I think consistency is lacking. My tacos were quite tasty and I was satisfied with my dish. If I were to go back, I would order it again. Overall, it's not a restaurant I would go out of my way to get to.
