Service is definitely slow as others have said, but just keep that in mind when you’re going and you won’t be disappointed! This was easily one of the top five meals I’ve had in my life — the presentation was gorgeous and the food was absolutely divine! There was so much unique flavour and the menu has a ton of variety!

Great food!

Service is generally bad.

Food menu hasn't updated in several years.

Over priced.

They ask for tips even though you pay at counter and was asked to carry my own water to the table.

Generally a mediocre experience.

​We chose this brunch spot because of its high ratings and awards, but our experience was incredibly disappointing and nowhere near the hype.
​To start, the ordering system is a bit odd—even for table service, you have to go inside to place your order. Our server was nice and the coffee was actually good, but things went completely downhill from there.
​Our food took over 40 minutes to arrive. The only reason it came out at all was because we finally had to flag someone down, explain that we had an appointment to get to, and ask if it was even coming. Because of the massive delay, we were left with about 10 minutes to wolf down our meal before having to rush out.
​The food itself was a massive letdown, especially for the price. I ordered the shakshuka for $25. While it looked pretty, it was completely inedible. It was essentially just a bowl of spicy tomato sauce with some veggies and maybe 4 or 5 tiny pieces of sausage—each literally the size and thickness of a quarter. For that price point plus tip, you expect a proper, flavorful dish, but I couldn't even eat it. My husband ordered the huevos rancheros, which was just okay, but it suffered from the same issue—a very stingy amount of meat.
​An award-winning, highly-rated spot shouldn't be dropping the ball this hard on both basic kitchen speed and food quality. Definitely not worth the price.

Quaint bistro style shop with 5 star food and service! I had the prawn salad and butternut squash risotto which were amazing!

We came here based off the reviews and left very disappointed. You order at the counter and pay ahead of time, so are unable to tip based off the service or the food and it seems there may be a reason for this. We waited a very long time for our food and started to think they forgot. We ordered the Harissa chicken crepe and the salmon benny. Chicken and chickpeas were just thrown over a crepe, the flavors did not blend or make sense. The salmon tasted extremely fishy and there was a rice pave on the bottom that resembled a brick and again the flavors did not mix well. I would not return or recommend this place.

Service is painfully slow unfortunately. The food is great if you are looking for a more relaxed visit for catching up with friends or family.

Great vegan options. So much flavor

Absolutely phenomenal food. Delicious flavours, perfect portion size, and stunningly plated/garnished. I wish I took pictures everything was so beautiful. I had the butternut squash risotto and my husband had a the jerk chicken and we both adored our meal. We both got the guava cheesecake and we can’t stop thinking about it!

Delicious food. Creative menu with lots of great options.
Went for brunch and there was no table service. We were a group of 6. As unexpected as that was it’s not a deterrent.

Such a great first experience having brunch here. Not too long of a wait, cozy seating on the patio, friendly staff, and delicious food! The London Fog, Lemonade Mimosa, Yam Eggs Benedict, and Shakshouka were all really delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more!
