I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. Cocktails were fun, inventive and delicious. The Bay St. sandwich was fantastic and the burger was spot on. Word to the wise, try the bourbon crème brûlée. I’d eat here often if I lived in Toronto.

I went there on my birthday with a friend and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was lively, the food was delicious, and the cocktails were outstanding! To top it off, the staff surprised me with a stunning birthday pastry and a thoughtful message. Thanks for making my special day even more memorable!

not too many options for food i guess its mainly a drinks place and the space is nice but a bit too crowded for me esp with the tables and chairs being so close to one another. but other than that it was wonderful!

Waiter wonderful but waited too long for everything (understaffed). Had to ask for napkins for fries - martinis came when almost finished snack. Long wait for bill. Martinis were fantastic as were fries (yes, a weird combination). Still lovely place to stop and savour.
