• Farm-to-table • St. Catharines

Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only. What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it. Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop? In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday. How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

Great dining experience! We started off with the tartine (excellent), followed by the squid (lightly breaded, tender, delicious) and the veal sweatbreads (very good, a little heavy on the breading for my taste). Next up: the mushrooms and polenta (great) and, finally, the spinach with beef tongue (great dish!). Dessert was the poached pear (poached to perfection). The service was excellent, the noise-level, on the other hand, a little high. The bill came to close to $100 per person (only one glass of wine between the two of us), which is what you have to expect to pay for this sort of quality nowadays.

The food experience was wonderful. The ambience of the room is soft lighting and beautiful decor. The atmosphere is perfect until a table for 6 women is added to the mix. Loud laughter means increased volume of music which makes that situation even louder. What can you do? The guests were having fun but the noise was hard to hear or speak over.
