Gone are some of my favourites like bibimbap etc, but what I did have was very good. The oysters were small but very tasty. I am amongst the few who enjoy an agadashi tofu and it could have had a little more of a toasted crust, but it too was quite good. The salmon sushi was as good as it gets anywhere.

I ate at the bar. The bartender was amazing. Her knowledge not only of the wine and cocktails shown through to the menus. I had a great meal and she even concocted a cocktail to pair with my dessert. The gemelli for an entree and the maple square for dessert are a must try.

We drove in from Ottawa and it did not disappoint. The sushi was excellent, the tuna melted in your mouth, I cut it to share using my chopstick! The peach flavoured sake was definitely worth the price. The server was friendly, chatty, helpful. Loved it!
