I went with my mom for a mother daughter night and the food was AMAZING. Even better, the bartender invented most of the drinks on the drink menu and they are phenomenal. I would 100% recommend this place for drinks and small bites, it has a really nice atmosphere and the bartender is lovely.

Our service was awesome, we dropped in a bit later. Having been to the St. Catharines location for brunch, we were excited to try a more local version. Food was great, the duck bao buns were Smokey and delicious. The tapas options weren’t as elevated as expected/not as good as the St. Catharines location. I didn’t make it out when they were to the left of the funeral home and the location to the right was okay but very small. This location definitely has potential. Would fix up the front entrance door to reflect the kind of atmosphere that’s reached for for the restaurant (seems more like a heavy glass convenience store door rather than an elevated taps restaurant). Overall very happy with the atmosphere and service! Their mystery flight in itself was worth the visit. Awesome cocktails and I absolutely had no idea what I drank and could not guess from the given list. Probably the highlight of the night trying to guess!

Honestly food was okay. Place stank of cigarette smoke which took away from the atmosphere. Server was very attentive though!

Steak frites, bao, and pork belly were so bomb. Great drinks, great atmosphere.

Group of 4..we tried 6 items on the menu. All were 10/10. Highlights for sure are soy kissed sprouts, croquettes, no mis-steaks. Bartender has a few unique cocktails on the menu. Great service. Definitely recommend.

We had 7 different tapas shared between us. All dishes had lots 9f flavour. A few veggie plates to go with meat plates. The bao duck buns were favourites but everyone had their own go-to.
Our server (Fraser) was attentive and informative.
A couple of dishes were overpowered by the spice so that we could not tell what it was, e.g. Cauliflower. Might be a good thing to some patrons.

Our first time eating there and we will definitely be back. Food was over the top amazing. Loved the creative cocktails and craft beer. Fantastic service. Nice atmosphere. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. We’d give it 10 stars if we could. Highly recommend this place.

Food was ok, nothing amazing or extraordinary. The place smelled heavily of cigarette smoke which took away from the experience

Drinks were okay but pricey. Most of the food we received was also good, but the one tapas veg option “soy long meat” was comical. Two tofu bits not even 1”x1” pieces on a bed of greens for $13. Ridiculous! No AC also

Besides the random angsty music that came on, the food was fantastic! The server also was so helpful!
