    Truly a great spot. Not cheap, but worth it. Sam (BT) is an absolute delight. Would recommend they look at bolstering the cellar with some Canadian wines, but overall, 10/10 would recommend!

    Unexpectedly fine food offered up in a casual setting. The options are not run-of-the-mill, with even standard fare having a twist. The burger is made of venison and is delicious! Well worth a try.
