Such a gem of a restaurant. The servers are very kind and knowledgeable, the food is amazing (the burger and black truffle pasta were incredible)! I am still thinking about the gin gene and espresso martini! Great vibe, great music, will absolutely will be returning.

Terrible service and terrible establishment. We tried to order a sangria bowl just to be told they only have two bowls in the restaurant and two other tables were already using them. When my friend tried to order the steak frites medium, were told that they could only do the medium rare. I questioned why this was, as all they had to do was cook it a little longer, and the server couldn't explain. I ordered the chicken entrée which came in a Puddle of oil with three pieces of potatoes and half a lemon. The chicken looked and tasted like it had been boiled with no seasoning on the meat. We did not have our server check up on us even once through throughout the meal. When we finally got the bill, we were told that we could not split any items, including the appetizer and the sangria and that they had to go on one bill. For a restaurant that only accommodates six tables you would think the service would be faster - if you cannot such a small restaurant and small menu, maybe you shouldn't be in business

I went the other day for the first time with a friend who had been before and suggested it - I was certainly not let down! We split a sangria bowl and I had the black truffle pasta. Great value for money and Billy provided top notch service! I'll be back :)

I went with my family for my birthday dinner last week and had an amazing time. I ordered the Sangria Bowl and the Black Truffle Pasta and was not disappointed. The service was amazing and my waiter Billy was such a wonderful addition to the experience. Could not recommend more. 10/10

Love this place! Creative and yummy food and drinks to be found here. It's small and gives you a break from the rush of the main street.

Came here on a recommendation and was very pleased with it all.

The outdoor seating is pretty small so we opted to sit inside and didn’t have to wait for a table.

Both The Gin Genie and Flowers 16 Cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended the whipped ricotta though it was a big portion for just two of us. The Chicken Lemonato and Ravioli Carbonara were both delicious as well.

Oh, it was a HOT AND HUMID day, and the air conditioning was insufficient, but BOY was this place a sweet little gem!

We have had consistently great food here and the restaurant has a great dive-like style atmosphere. Slightly pricey but well worth it.

A cool spot on the Main Street into Grand Bend. We stopped by on a winter day - staff were friendly and place was busier than expected because off it being “off season”. Food was good - we shared gyro sliders, Brussel sprouts and shrimp. Portions were generous as we did not finish it all. My only comment is that there could be a better craft beer selection. There was only one to choose from.

Dropped in mostly out of interest after seeing this online, fully expecting it to be not what was represented online.

Was completely wrong, the cocktail menu is bold, the main we split was phenomenal and the service was great.

It’s also as close as you can get to the water so imagine in the summer it’s popular.

It’s not cheap, but for what you got worth a visit.
