Amazing experience, great food and the staff was warm and friendly. Only feedback I need to give was that the music was a tad few decibels too high but if that doesn’t bother you, you’re in for a good time.

We booked our office Christmas party here and everyone absolutely loved it. Amir and his team were so accommodating, attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding (like always :) ) and everyone couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Everything came out hot, fresh and exactly how it was ordered. Our Executive who was in from Toronto said the whole dining experience was unique and phenomenal, something he wishes they had closer to their office! Well done guys, I look forward to more meals from you :)

Great ☕:-) I was looking for a breakfast joint that had more than megabrew pot stuff. Had a delicious cappuccino with a great BLT (super bread) Service was fantastic. Phone scan for menu and they validate your parking. It is in the group of buildings (middle one) just east of Churchill on the north side of Carling.
