C	Casey Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.5 stars. Excellent restaurant with a different price fixe menu every night based on a protein. Depending on how you see it, the lack of variety is either good or bad. Locally sourced as promised. Cozy atmosphere. Recommended.
G	Grace Pinter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My fiancé and I came here for an anniversary meal earlier in the year. We went with their daily six course omnivore tasting menu and were pleasantly surprised. We were treated to a meal that was very fresh tasting and well prepared. There was no heavy or greasy taste in my mouth after the meal which is rare when eating out. The standout dishes for us were the asparagus soup and the farro grain bowl. Service was a little spotty but otherwise, we had a good time.

S	Sherry C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We decided to let the chef decide what to bring on the table tonight. And what a surprise! Every single dishes taste so good. My favourite one was the salmon. It’s so crispy outside and juicy inside. Oh love the salad too!
J	Jason Yu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This restaurant is part of the farm to table movement, serving different dishes depending on what is in season. Only set menus are available---a regular six course menu, a vegetarian menu, and a smaller four course menu. The dishes were inventive, with a rustic flavour, perhaps because it was February when I visited. Every dish was quite small in portion, however. My favourite dishes of the evening were the pork tenderloin and, interestingly, barley cooked in pressure cooker. Our server was very attentive. Great atmosphere and experience.
n	nhi hoang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place was cool. My friends loved their food. I got 21 day aged pork belly. Not my favorite as it made me feel a bit weird after. The taste is good but maybe it was my fault to order it as it tasted really fatty and oily to me. I know it is pork belly so I should have expected it. Still, when I walked in the restaurant, the smell of oil was very pronounced and not my jam. Maybe others would like it. The dish cost 40$. Personally I don’t think it should have cost that much as it wasn’t that good. I’ve paid 40$ for dishes that were definitely more mind blowing. This wasn’t blowing my mind. Still, the vegetables that came with the dish were good. I tried my friends food as well and it was good. The menu for this place is on the smaller side, there were gluten free and vegetarian options but there’s no adjustments as well as no options for desserts. As cool as it is, if there are people who couldn’t find what they want to eat, they’ll just be left hanging. I’m sure in other times with different curated menu, it would have been good for others who come here. But maybe check the menu before you go to make sure you like the options they have. In conclusion, I’m not sure I’ll come back here. It’s a cool idea to partner with bc farms and bring farm to table cuisine. I might have expected too much and left disappointed. The place itself is very cool. Just wish the menu is a bit bigger, more fresh dishes to choose from and flexibility in adjusting them to meet the need of picky eaters like me. Thanks for the food.
S	Stephanie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here for happy hour. They have happy hour from 3:30 to 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays. We had the bottled daily cocktail which was delicious. It had calamansi and grapefruit soda. Would definitely recommend it if you want something light and refreshing. For snacks we had the blistered padrons and cauliflower. The blistered padrons went really well with the horseradish aoili. They were very smokey and meaty. Strangely addicting. The crunch of the almonds paired really well with everything and balanced out the bitterness of the padrons. The roasted cauliflower with the walnut muhammara was equally as delicious. They cooked the cauliflower so that it made it somewhat meaty and gave it some bite. Both snacks were great and paired well with the drinks. The service was also great. We sat for around 1.5 hours and weren't rushed out or anything as the dinner reservations started to come in. Would definitely recommend them for food and drinks. The place isn't very big so make reservations or come early
R	Robbie the Realtor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another great spot for sharing food. I love the atmosphere! It has a farmhouse hipster vibe. They have house-crafted bottled cocktails. I had the Empress gin and tonic. We shared most of the items on the menu. There was a heavy vegetarian influence. The menu is small. We tried everything I was intrigued by and find no reason to go back. So, hopefully they change the menu regularly or you may only need to go once for the experience.
