Fantastic dishes, we sampled many plates and apps, all of which were prepared with skill and each had great flavor. The red and gold beets, grilled octopus, and poutine were standouts! Our entrees were also great—the ribeye we had was excellent. Cocktails were perfect too. Excellent service, just all around a wonderful experience and definitely going back!

We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.

Overall I enjoyed my visit. But the drinks were water done and had large chunks of ice. Wish they had a few more food options. Definitely would return for a 2nd visit.
