What to Order
Steak Tartare
A unique take on the classic, this tartare is expertly minced and dressed, often featuring a "Big Mac" flavor profile with house-made cheese wiz.
"Steak tartar was expertly minced and dressed for perfect creaminess and texture, with a bright burst of dill from the pickles."
Eisee Sylvester
Carrot + Ice Cream
An inventive and surprising dish featuring a roasted carrot paired with savory bay leaf ice cream and crunchy fried chickpeas.
"The carrot and ice cream alone is worth coming back for - I've never had anything like it, and it is freaking SCRUMPTIOUS."
Eisee Sylvester
Chicken Liver Mousse
An incredibly smooth and rich mousse, often served with freshly baked deep-fried bundt cakes for a delightful texture contrast.
"The chicken liver mousse was insanely smooth and rich — the kind of thing you keep “just one more bite”-ing until it’s gone."
Ben Chu
The Burger
Consistently praised as one of the best in the city, this burger is juicy, flavorful, and often cooked to a perfect medium-rare.
"The burger was excellent - every bite was a burst of flavour and the ingredients were top notch."
Leila
Roast Pork
A perfectly cooked pork dish, layered with complexity and presented beautifully, offering a satisfying and flavorful experience.
"And the pork dish was outstanding — cooked perfectly, layered with complexity, and presented in a way that felt both artistic and inviting."

Banana Bread Pudding
A nostalgic yet elevated dessert that perfectly balances comfort and sophistication, making for a warm and indulgent finish.
"And the banana bread pudding to finish? That was the perfect ending. It totally hit that childhood dessert memory, but leveled up. Warm, cozy, and just indulgent enough."
