What to Order
Oysters
Freshly shucked oysters, often served with a notable house-made hot sauce.
"We started out with oysters and bubbly. The Cava was spectacular as was the Okanagan sparkling. Love their hot sauce, and we’re kicking ourselves for forgetting to buy a bottle - they sell it."
Megan Andrews
Hokkaido Scallops
Seared scallops, praised for their freshness and exquisite plating.
"Ordered fresh shucked oysters and seared Hokkaido scallops. Both were amazing and fresh, the plating was exquisite."
Kathy Lee
Duck
A well-cooked duck breast often accompanied by rich duck fat potatoes.
"For dinner hubby had the duck and I had the Wagyu Bavette. Both delicious, and the duck fat potatoes were sinful!"
