Been going to part and parcel for a while now! Love the food and the vibe, but have to express my disappointment with the change in both the chicken and broccoli sandwich size. It felt much smaller than the past and now comes with no side. I understand the prices of everything is much higher now but I would rather have paid more for the older version.Still amazing food and a great place to dine, I just likely won’t be making a trip in for those specific dishes anymore :)

I like this place! Bright and minimal, reminded me of spots in Plateau or Mile End in Montreal. Menu shifts so hard to make recommendations... broccoli sandwich is always a good start, coming from an omnivore :

The crispy chicken sandwich used to be amazing but the last time I got it it was about half the size and still 20 bucks with no side. Such a complete rip off. Avoid at all costs!

We were late because of circumstances beyond our control, no problem, the service, the food, the drinks were all great. We were not rushed, service was well timed and we had a great evening.

I have been ordering the charred broccoli sandwich for YEARS and loved it every time. However, on Saturday evening I opened up my beloved sandwich to find a tiny bun about half the size that it’s been for the past 3+ years!!SO disappointing. I realize that grocery prices have gone up but this was just… such a big change. I wish they had given an explanation and even given the option to pay more for the full size sandwich that they normally serve. At the very least they need to update the photo on the website..The sandwich remains delicious…. But has shrunk down to a “bunwich” size.

We've been to this restaurant several times. So far in 2024 we went once in January and once in February. It's in our neighborhood and it never disappoints when it comes to service, food taste, and friendly staff.HOWEVER, on our recent visit we were disappointed to see the food portions had significantly changed on some of the items we order regularly.We usually get the broccoli sandwich which in the past was a fair size and came sliced. You could easily share with a partner, which is what we liked to do - order two meals and split half and half. On our recent visit in February, just a few short weeks since our January visit, the same sandwich was the same price and came on a small bun which wasn't cut and couldn't be shared. You also have to pay extra for fries ($5) and there wasn't even a good portion of fries. The other item was the gnocchi which is delicious but again the portion was on a much smaller plate. $100 later, neither one of us was full.There was another time we ordered a tuna entree which came as thinly sliced tuna on a plate with a few garnishes. At that visit we did inform the staff that this isn't an entree and shouldn't be advertised as such. She said some dishes are 'light' entrees, but for nearly $30 it seemed unreasonable.Unfortunately, given these experiences, we won't be back since it's no longer FAIR value for the cost. It's disappointing for us too since we love eating at local places that offer quality food. But it needs to be fair value.

I don’t normally like fried chicken but a friend wanted to share - it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted! Everything was amazing but I can’t stop thinking about that one dish. ? Will definitely go back!

This was one of our favourite places to dine out in Victoria, and we were so lucky to have gotten in for a beautifully decorated Valentines Day dinner. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was the most delicate, filling, and exciting meal we could have asked for. Our server was a delight, and made the whole experience all the better.
Most amazing food - such a wonderful surprise. The menu looked intriguing online but was even better than I expected. We did the whole menu option (was $235 at the time of writing) for the five of us. Each dish gave us enough of a taste to satisfy us as we shared them around the table. From charred broccoli to elk, the range was fantastic. Great value in a small venue with a charming server. The food was high end and the room itself unpretentious. Have already recommended it to friends and can't wait to find an occasion to go back again.
