If you are a vegan, there's not many options on the menu, but there's an impossible burger which is pretty tasty! No table service but it's easy to order at the bar!“

“One of the best omelets and crispy potatoes I've ever had in my life. Fantastic poppers filled with a garlicky butter and very good pumpkin waffles. You can tell that a lot of love, care and technique goes into making the food. Amazing service, delicious food, very bad coffee (which surprised me as they had a really nice coffee machine and since everything else was top notch but it was not good), but a super cozy vibe that I'd look forward to returning to time and time again!“

Where we were sat was a bit loud but it didn't deter much from the time. Highly recommend!!Dietary restrictions: I let the waitress now of my dietary restrictions and she was able to point out clearly on the menu what was on for me and what was not, it helped a bunch!“

I think these boys should be appraised for making sure that their customers are always given the best service.

We miss their restaurant from years ago but now they are a cute little market with amazing prepared foods to go and cook at home (their Shepard's Pie is wonderful, and their Tourtiere and Crab Dip are to amazing!), really unique items like their Smoked Char Rillette, and Pate’s, yummy breads, grab & go food items, salads, sandwiches, etc. We had the chance to talk to Logan and he shared their evolution over the years from restaurant to market, and that many of the items in their market are sourced locally from the region. A regular stop for us when we're in the area!“

We thought we were in the right place but didn’t figure out how to open the door. After talking to some locals the next day we figured out the secret trick and made it in the second night. The drinks are good and you can’t beat $5. The atmosphere is great“
