  Expectations were left unfortunately unfulfilled. Great service, nice decor, underwhelming, overpriced cuisine.
  
  The good:
  
  -The service was great and friendly
  -The restaurant was charming and had a nice atmosphere.
  -The poutine was excellent, no complaints.
  
  The bad:
  -"Chili roasted broccoli" resembled steamed broccoli with some sprinklings of cheese and seasoning salts at the bottom of the dish.
  
  -Lamb "popsicle"...when the menu stated (2) were the quantity included, but we're actually priced at $9 each, was one of the most disappointing things we've eaten. A deep fried, flavourless, overcooked chop of lamb was served and was overall undeserving of being on any menu, especially given the premium charged for it.
  
  Unfortunately this experience will not lead us back to this restaurant. To us, the reach of the cuisine exceeded the restaurant's grasp.

  Cute little brunch restaurant with a great variety of options. The food tasted amazing and the service was excellent! I will definitely come back again.

  Go here. Food and people are what restaurants are supposed to be! So good!
  
  Popped in after a Lynn Canyon hike and were left full and very impressed! The chef and his partner in crime in the front of the house warmly welcomed our family. The BLT was the best I've ever had! Bacon, pork belly, truffle mayo and the right amount of tomato and lettuce will have me back the next time we're in town! The Croque Madame and burger were mouth watering! Great spot!

  This was a lovely night out with friends. AND, the food was really delicious. Not one of us was anything but impressed with our meals.

  We went here yesterday for brunch. It was probably the best brunch I have ever had. The service was wonderful as well. Great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
