Location of the café is a perk! It's located in a seemingly quaint alley but once we entered the…read morecafé it was bustled. We were looking for somewhere we could sit and work off our laptops for some hours and the café had ample seats and stable wifi. There's a bar area as well so you could go for an afternoon buzz. They seemed to have interesting options on the menu ranging from sandwiches to other small or shareable dishes. Read somewhere bread was from the Collingwood Bread Company. I always enjoy locally made baked goods. Latte and matcha latte were solid. Stole a bite of the smoked trout sandwich - if you love one of those smoked salmon creamy tangy spread sandwiches this is definitely a good one. Pictures not taken are the grilled cheese and cheese scone. Smoked cheese was used in the grilled cheese sandwich. I enjoy all kinds of cheeses so I was pleased with the smoky kick. Cheese scone was not heated up properly and somehow the cheese, despite looking like a typical golden cheddar, was not flavourful at all. Dough base of the scone lacked the buttery, flaky texture. I'd say skip it. Hm honestly this place deserves more reviews.

Defos better than most places in Blue Mountain I had the vegetarian gnocchi which was average. I wish it was a tad more flavourful but given veggie options, Id probably get the same thing if I were to go again

Cold food - I guess there's a first for everything! Unfortunately!…read more Given potential staff shortages amidst a severe snowstorm that evening, I can accept and understand slower dinner service. What I couldn't accept, for the prices charged, was cold food. We got the grilled octopus, beef tartare, and the burratina appetizers to start. The octopus was grilled perfectly, accompanied by a fresh, vibrant, tangy fennel and orange salad. My family loved the presentation of the beef tartare since we were able to mix in the egg yolk ourselves. And my God, the burratina was so creamy and delicious, alongside the sweet roasted beets and honey toasted pumpkin seeds. I think we would definitely recommend these apps to share for a larger party. For entrees, our table got an assortment of the lobster linguine, veal ossobuco, and the steak frites (8oz charred california cut striploin). Lobster linguine was cooked al dente with chunks of lobster scattered throughout the pasta dish. The 8oz steak was cooked to the perfect temperature - you could definitely tasted the 'char' on the steak. Not much gristle/fat so the steak was quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, the night was marred by the veal ossobuco that came out cold. When the dish came out, my brother and I were determined to dive right into the large portion. The sauce smelled aromatic and the mash potatoes looked silky smooth. However, we quickly realized the veal was still cold in the center as we took our first bite. And when I mean cold, I meant it was cold to the touch (not warm, not room temp). Each piece of veal was the same - cold. Instead of offering a new plate, our waitress asked if we would like the dish reheated (aka microwaved). That's a no for me. We returned the veal to the kitchen and got the steak frites that my mom enjoyed instead. Much better. Food aside, I felt slightly uncomfortable with our waitress. She came to our table asking if we wanted drinks more times than I can count on my hand. It was a weird pressure to order more and more alcohol. The restaurant was gracious enough to comp the veals. Would I come here again? Maybe for the apps. Maybe for the steak frites. Did I think it was slightly overpriced? Yes, but that's to be expected from a resort-area restaurant. If I'm ever in the area again though, I'll probably try some other restaurants before circling back to this one.
