“We had our anniversary dinner at Shanny's last night, and wow, were we ever impressed! I seem to have the curse of always having some kind of issue with my food when we go out and always being disappointed, but there were absolutely zero issues here. Everything we had was so very good.

We had the braised apple pork belly appetizer, the tenderloin and chorizo pappardelle for entrees with some duck fat new potatoes and the creme brulee and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. We really loved the pork belly, and would return just for that. The tenderloin was cooked to perfection and the risotto that accompanied it was delicious. The pappardelle tasted so fresh. The desserts were also amazing. Portion sizes were very good, we certainly didn't leave hungry!

The only downside is that the price is high, but compared to other more expensive places in the area this one is worth it! Service was friendly and prompt, and the decor and vibe was nice as well. Overall a really great experience. I would highly recommend a visit if you are looking to dine the area! Sorry no photos, the food was so good we didn't even think about looking at our phones :)”

“Stopped by today to get dinner . Had the jerk chicken dinner and my wife had chicken curry roti . it was amazing flavour and quality . if your looking for something different and flavour full you need to go eat here. highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Tried the medium chicken pizza today and it was really good! The chicken was fresh and well-seasoned, the crust was perfectly baked (not too thick or thin), and the cheese was nicely melted with a great balance of sauce. Portions were satisfying and the pizza was hot and flavorful. Definitely worth the price — I’d happily order it again. Highly recommend for chicken pizza lovers! 🍕👌”

“My favourite spot for just about any occasion—whether it’s a relaxed lunch, a casual meeting, a celebration, or refueling after a hike.

The menu evolves seasonally while still keeping the staples that locals and regulars come back for. The appetizers are light yet satisfying enough to stand in as a full meal. Love the mushroom pate, smoked fish dip, mussels, salmon avocado toast etc, etc. etc. The burger is consistently fantastic, and their unique daily soups always hit the spot. Vegetarian options are rich in flavour, hearty, and genuinely filling. And the steak - excellent.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff go out of their way to create a great experience. They’re also incredibly accommodating with takeout. Despite how popular this place is, they manage it seamlessly so everyone can enjoy their visit.

Highly recommend.”

“Amazing fresh bread selection. great pastries, wonderful sandwiches, excellent dessert trays. Mama's Frozen meals are fabulous! So wonderful to find a premade frozen meal brand that is nutritious & delicious! Lots of flavour but not heavy on the salt. Decent size meat protein portions, not skimpy. I broke my dominant hand & wrist and have been unable to cook, Mama's meals have been a lifesaver! Satisfying but not heavy.”

“Food is excellent as is the service. 5/5.”

“This place was such a pleasant surprise! We were visiting from the GTA and stopped in for lunch—and wow, what a find. The food was an easy 10/10: incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The home fries were honestly the best I’ve ever had, and the chicken cranberry wrap was absolutely delicious. We later found out the owner is a professionally trained chef and they even have their own greenhouse—no wonder everything tasted so amazing. This spot is a hidden gem and an absolute must-visit!”

“Delicious cupcakes, very accommodating, great service.”
