Me and my friend planned a surprise birthday party for a few of our friends back in May here because we heard a lot of good things. We made the reso at least 2 weeks in advance for 15 people and since we are a big group, I had assumed we would get a table altogether. However, when we got there, they placed us not only at two separate tables but two tables with a pillar literally separating the two tables which made us look like two different groups. I was very disappointed with this set up as it was supposed to be a surprise birthday party for my friends but we couldn't even talk to each other during the dinner.
The only upside was our server Lisa, who was very kind.

We went for the Love Island watch party, but there were so many things that went wrong. We were five minutes late but when we came the music was louder than the show, and they weren’t even playing the right episode. The service was slow and I didn’t get to order as much as I’d liked. Food was alright, the oxtail pasta was delicious while the pork belly sliders were subpar. Atmosphere is pretty dark but beautiful. Drinks were alright, would definitely order my own mixed drinks. The audio kept cutting out and it took over an hour for the right episode to be playing. I believe there is still potential and room to grow, which is why I rated it three stars instead of two. I would probably go to the next one but I would hope to see some improvement.

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Our server Benaise was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She offered great suggestions for cocktails and helped us identify which dishes could be made vegetarian (hopefully more options on the way soon!)

It was our first time and I enjoyed it. Food came out quick and the service was good. Very flavourful. If you like to go to restaurants during quiet times I recommend going for 5 pm which is what we did.

Food is exceptional. I have tried almost everything on the menu but the oysters (raw AND motoyaki), truffle fries, oxtail, flatbread and stuffed dates were my favourites. Atmosphere can be intimate or cool and fun depending on the day and time. I love that they bring in DJs. The place turns into such a vibe! I would recommend Sabrina as your bottle server - she's the best!

I love this place!
It's a dark, intimate lounge in a gorgeous historic building. Aside from the elegant aesthetics, the Dj's spinning awesome music, the delicious food and the amazing staff are other reasons I choose to go to this spot so often.
Shoutout to Liam, Sabrina and Marco! Great people, great place. Winnipeg needs more lounges like this!

My wife and I had a dinner here before a concert. It has a similar setup to the restaurants that have been in this space before. Unfortunately the ambiance was a bit dark. The menu is awesome with lots of choices and a sharing plate style. Food was overall quite good, but the caesar brussels were underwhelming/bland and the Mediterranean skewers were a bit undercooked (thankfully just the vegetables). Service was good but nothing special. Drinks were the biggest disappointment here though - far overpriced for what is offered. $18 feature cocktails was a big reach - mine I tried was delivered in a novelty bear cup, but was mostly just filled with ice. I doubt I had more than 2.5oz in it and most was juice and liqueur. I think cost overall needs to be rethought for this restaurant - yes it's in the downtown area, but this is a relatively new restaurant. I think the high costs are going to drive potential customers away. Would be open to trying it again, but wouldn't be at the top of my recommendations.

Me and my girlfriend spent a date night here and we were astonished by the atmosphere. Such good vibes all around and our server Sabrina was a delight. She served us each dish with a contagious smile. Speaking of the food, very very tasty. Would definitely come again to try everything else on the menu.

Recently came here for dinner with a few friends for the first time and had a wonderful time thanks to our attentive, polite, and knowledgeable server, Sabrina! She answered all of our questions, recommended food and drinks, checked on us in a timely manner, and overall gave us the best service! Sabrina is absolutely the best server we've had in any food establishment!!
