“Chef Cam and the Bar Lupulus team are truly outstanding. Personable, attentive, and accessible, they made our experience feel seamless and special. The food was both unique and exceptional, but what sets Bar Lupulus apart is their role as genuine community builders, contributing meaningfully to the life of our city and supporting initiatives that strengthen connection and care far beyond fine dining.“

“we had our wedding here last weekend and what an incredible experience. Our wedding coordinator Linda was exceptional at facilitating everything and making sure our day ran smoothly. Everyone was in awe at how good the food was. The bar staff was incredibly friendly, even cheering for us when we came in after the ceremony. I could not recommend hosting your wedding/events here enough“

“We eat at Abby's regularly. It is a small place so reservations are strongly recommended for dinner. The service is always excellent. The menu is small but the food is wonderful. We like the steak fries, and duck. Right now, they have a lobster boil dinner special on Tuesday nights for $49 - I can't make it at home for this price. A lovely place to dine!“

“Overall a wonderful experience. The food is pricey, but the taste was amazing. Each item is individually priced, the thought behind it being they are a share item, family table/style, just like at home. I will say the size of the share portions were more for an individual verses sharing with the table. Glad each of us ordered our own main, we shared potatoes, carrots and mushrooms. We were celebrating a birthday and we told our server. It's nice when a restaurant does that little something for the birthday person gratis...sadly this didn't happen here. There were 4 of us, we shared 2 appetizers and each had a main. We also had a half litre of wine, no dessert or coffee. Bill was $300+. Enjoyed the experience but will most likely not go again.“

“Went to celebrate my birthday what a great choice. The service was excellent, The food was beautiful presented and the taste was amazing. Not our first visit and won't be our last.“

“My husband and I come once a year for our anniversary and maybe for other special occasions and we always take the “blind meal” and it's always amazing! We love the food, the servers are very nice and the ambiance is great and relaxing. It's one of our favorite places to go.“

“Amazing food, amazing staff. Absolutely loved our experience!!“

“Unpretentious, unique menu, great service & great people!“
