The Lamb Poutine was fabulous! Sweet potato fries with lamb in a brown gravy sauce with cheese curds . Amazing! Best surprise of my trip!

Small nice place. Not too loud . Good selection of spirits . Reasonably priced. Solid selection of food. Parking was a pain, but that takes a side note. Clean place. Thumbs up.

I recommend the cider : Trippy and Hard ½ and ½ , Bloody Mary is good too.

David Hamilton

I had a Red Rhino beer which was very good. The atmosphere is great and the bartender , James, was a rock star.

Kristi Windom

The burger is delicious! But if you're on a healthy fix try the farro risotto or the zucchini pasta . Also the schezuan green beans rock!
