What to Order
7-Course Tasting Menu
This multi-course culinary journey showcases the chef's creativity and local ingredients, often featuring unique combinations and artistic presentation.
"The 7 course meal was such a surprising culinary adventure and the presentation was truly magical (especially the dessert)."
Carolyn Dyer
4-Course Tasting Menu
A slightly shorter tasting experience, still offering a curated selection of the chef's seasonal creations with excellent food and wine pairings.
"We had the 4 course tasting menu. It was very unique in which they brought out each course to the entire restaurant and the chef explained each course. Food was amazing."
Jon Braganza
Wine Pairings
Expertly selected wines are offered to complement each course of the tasting menus, enhancing the flavors and overall dining experience.
"The wine pairings were 100% spot on for each dish. The level of detail created for your experience shows."
Allan H
Steak Tartar
A finely prepared cold dish that highlights the chef's skill in balancing flavors and seasoning, often featuring local ingredients.
"I’ve often heard it said tartar is a mark of an exceptional chef, it’s easy to make warm food taste good but you have nowhere to hide in a cold dish like tartar, and I can only say that I was blown away by the balance and seasoning, matched with what is clearly a devotion from the chef and staff to highlighting local ingredients."
Madelaine McCullough
Savoury Sorbet
A signature and often surprising element of the menu, these unique sorbets offer an unexpected savory flavor profile.
"One of their signatures is the savoury sorbet with fascinator. Everything is always excellent!"
