Amazing vegan options!

Brought my mom and her friend for lunch. We would have loved to have dined on the patio as it was quiet but unfortunately we were left standing for an awkward amount of time and the sign said wait...do not go inside when patio open. When a server finally came out she told us that she would be with us shortly with a scowl on her face then disappeared inside. I suggest seating.. or offering to choose a spot and then letting them know that you'll be with them rather than making guests stand on the sidewalk....and definitely smile.

This place is awesome! It's a small restaurant and is first come first serve only so it can be tough to get in sometimes. However the food service and atmosphere are all very good. The wine list is beyond what I've seen at almost any other restaurant, the choice of craft beers is excellent and the ingredients used are always from local farms. This is the best restaurant I have been to in the North Bay area!

the food was beyond amazing! we both got steak and they were cooked to perfection. i got the raspberry mocktail, it was so good. our waitress was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed🥰 only got a picture of the table after because we were starving 😂 10/10

Worst meal my husband and I have ever had at a restaurant. Sure the place is cute but that’s it. Server was meh (a bit stuck up in correcting us) and did not pick up on how much we hated it, I wanted to complain and not even pay for the garbage meal but we just felt we had to. We looked at the fancy menu and nothing sounded good so landed on 2 meals that we thought you couldn’t screw up. Boy was I wrong! First no one should ever put tomato in a grilled cheese it made it soggy and gross. Second the marina sauce it came with had no flavour, the meal literally made me nauseous. My husband had the poutine and said it was the worst poutine he’s ever had! I wish we’d never gone here! What an overpriced waste of our time on vacation! We travelled all the way from Restoule and this was beyond disappointing 😭

Been to the Bistro with family and friends. Had the striploin steak with truffle butter on two occasions, and they were so good. Cooked to perfection, and so flavorful. Will be going back for sure!!!

Stopped in on a beautiful fall day. Waitress recommend mimosas and they were great.
Tried they a Rubben sandwich, solid choice. I liked they house zucchini relish. It was a nice flavour boost.
Fries were cooked well.
A Stella beer was good mix with that sandwich.
Price was good for the large sandwich I ate.
