As I am very picky in regards to seafood, I was sure i was only going to try the non seafood options. But as my boyfriend dared me to try at least one oyster, I did try it. The guy who served us the oysters explained where the oysters were from and explained the sauces too - and let me tell you I was surprised how good they were.. only having one turned into having 4 in total!! They were fresh and the sauce paired so well with them.After a little wait we were served the Arctic char sando and the honey glazed five spice pork collar on rice.. my taste buds were so so happy because both dishes were just wonderfully prepared.The drinks were great as well, even tho the strawberry swing was a bit more bitter than I anticipated but that's literally nitpicking in the most luxurious form.We had their rendition of a black forest cake.. which wasn't really a cake but I am not mad about it because it was so tasty.We were very happy with the service and the food and cannot wait to come back!

Best part of this place was the music playlist. And the beer. Food was tasty focusing on quality not quantity. Like many (most?) places these days could use another waiter.

One of my favourites in Whitehorse. Can be busy. Best to reserve.

Not just oysters. This place is a bit hard to find but most certainly worth the effort.This time I had oysters, the Sablefish Collars, and their Citrus Pearl cocktail. Wow!!! Here we are in the high-arctic and as a foodie this place is as good as it gets anywhere on earth. I have also had their arctic char, chicken and pork dishes, and abdominal-regrets, only longing for more. They also have vegetarian options that are also worth coming here for.Notice the malt beer tanks? Their homemade beer is superb.I have no connection to these people other than an admiration for their culinary magic.Don’t miss out!

The nicest thing about this restaurant is there outside terrasse: shade after a full day of sun under 30degres celcius is just the thing to look for. The menu is elaborated and the service is perfect.

Ambience was nice; well lit with a good vibe. The server was disengaged and not welcoming and disappeared for quite awhile when we were waiting to pay. At one point another server came by when our meals arrived and asked if we wanted something with our fries such as aioli. We said yes. We were stunned to find out later they charged $2. On the plus side, the arctic char dish was delicious and ample.

I love trying local craft beers - but finding a brewpub which has excellent beers + great food is difficult. This place does everything well, and offers friendly, helpful service to boot

Our dinners and appetizers were very tasty and expertly prepared with very interesting flavours and nice presentation. 5 stars for food quality... However, lost 1 star because the menu is very limited if you don't want oysters. Service e was great and the outside patio was nice.

We went for dinner after work and received horrible service. The server didn't bring us any of the food we ordered and barely checked in on us. When we went up to ask someone to pay for our drinks and leave we saw they charged us for all the food. We mentioned this to the server and she said "oh, that must have been where that came from". She gestured to half eaten food sitting behind the counter. Will not be back after this.

A bit disappointing, service was lacking. Although the flavour was good the Mussels and fries were cold. We were on the patio, They were very busy inside so we didn’t see staff for long periods of time.

We had an arctic char burger and a lamb with cavatelli. Both great! Verity of spirits. Very good service.
