A Note From Our Chef

“We built this menu around what’s actually good at the market that week — not a laminated list that never changes. If you’ve been in before, ask what’s new. There’s usually something.”

What Diners Say

4.8 Stars from 500+ Diners

“Our go-to for anniversaries. The seasonal menu actually changes and the staff remembers our names. Reserved a table for 6 with two days notice, no issue.”

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation, or can I walk in?

Both work. We recommend reserving for Friday–Sunday evenings and parties of 5+, but we always hold a few tables for walk-ins.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?

Yes — vegetarian, gluten-free and most common allergies can be accommodated. Just let us know when you book or ask your server.

Do you host private events or large parties?

Yes, we host private dinners and buyouts for groups. Mention it in your reservation notes or call ahead and we’ll work out the details.

Is there parking nearby?

Street parking is available on King Street, and there’s a public garage two blocks away on Wentworth St.

Are you open for breakfast, or just dinner?

Both — we’re open from 7am for coffee and breakfast through to late dinner service, seven days a week.
