    As always Atmosphere never fails to please. Varied menu choices, very attentive wait staff and as the name suggests wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful touches from a well appointed “classical shelf”, local artwork and a historic building set this Guelph Gem apart from others. Today a quiet lunch enjoying the special pizza and light as air cheesecake. Wine service was on point making the entire experience a great way to start the weekend! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

    Such a fabulous night in downtown Guelph!! Was celebrating with a girlfriend from Toronto and she was absolutely blown away with the gorgeous ambiance, delicious food and warm and friendly staff. Highly recommend the shrimp appetizer and the superfood salad — freshly prepared — incredible flavours — and good portions. I love that they have live music on Thursday nights and their walls are adorned with unique artwork — such a great way to support our local musicians and artists. This place is a local gem!!!!

    Great spot! The staff were super nice, and the vibes were chill. I had a crepe with ham, Gruyère cheese, and garlicky broccoli with a glass of white wine—so good! My husband went for the escargot , and he loved it—we’ll definitely be back!

    I had a great lunch with two really enjoyable dishes. The  mushroom bruschetta was delicious, the goat cheese was a perfect addition. I loved the the lobster tuna bagel.. It was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I loved it and would definitely go back!

    Thank you Katherine! The bruschetta has been a big hit this menu, and the lobster tuna is a longtime staple. Great to hear that the service helped make the meal even better!
