    Great neighbourhood place with good service and wine. It was busy and noise level made it difficult to have conversations.

    Me and my husband came here to celebrate his completion of his Masters and this was definitely the right place to come! The staff were so friendly and professional. There is a free wine tasting every Saturday, which we are excited to go to every week! The staff knew their wines, which is always a bonus. And this is all not mentioning how delicious the cheese board and baked brie was!!! We will absolutely be back soon.
