"Visited on the Canada Day, loved the food recommended by the server. Photos attached below.
Visited again 3 days later, ordered pesto pasta, soup ,market poutine, brownie and coffee.
Market poutine and brownie tasted average although was expecting them to be as delicious as the other items we had."

"Food came out really fast, ordered sticky tofu bowl and green citrus tea. The bowl was quite spicy and a bit pricey for what you get. The tea was from Higgins & Burke.
Visited on a Monday afternoon it wasn’t that busy and the staff were nice."
