A hidden gem in Brantford. Absolutely delicious food at a fair price. This is more of an upscale restaurant but it is totally worth the price. There is limited seating so I strongly recommend that you make reservations.

I have been to this restaurant on several occasions and I have never been disappointed. The service has always been amazing. The servers and bar staff are friendly and they create a very welcoming atmosphere for the guests. I am always with a group of five or more people when I eat here and I am so impressed at how quickly the food comes out. The wait time is comparable to any other restaurant and the quality and creativity of the plates surpasses most others. One of the girls in our party is very high maintenance and our server went above and beyond to make sure she was happy with her food. The location is quite small and always extremely busy, which speaks to their reputation, so be prepared to enjoy a few hours here. I would highly recommend this restaurant for fine dining.

Excellent menu with a small and intimate dining room. Definitely one of the top spots in the city. Get the potato puffs or the sous vide steak. You wont be sorry.

Thursday, July 26 2018A group of seven of us arrived for a 7:30 dinner reservation as part of a birthday celebration. Our mains hit the table at 9:40 PM. That should say a lot.We found out, an hour into waiting with no food in sight, that the fryer was broken. But only after talking to the waitress about how much longer our salad and oysters were going to be.People who came half an hour after us had been fully served and left before we saw our meals.At 9pm we got our first food, warm olives with bread, which was ordered at 7:40.9:05 one serving of mussels, one taco9:10 salad and oysters.9:45 steak, tacos, fish, and scallops.9:55 beans, potatoes, and peas with an extra bit of free plastic wrap included.(Side note we ordered 4 servings of potatoes, but were advised 20 mins after ordering that we would only get 2 because they weren't going to prep anymore). I've heard good things about the food, but by the time I got my dinner I didn't care. The mussels were good. The oysters were good. The tacos were ok. The scallops were not seared at high enough temp to get a good caramelized crust. The steak was heavy with a hint of dirty grill in the sear. The food was adequate, but not at those prices or the investment in time it took to taste it.The worst part is that no one cared enough to manage our experience. The server was apologetic but offered no pratical recommendations or solutions. The owner, Grant, offered no solutions either and stated that two hours isn't a long wait time. And the kitchen didn't modify the delivery schedule to at least get the cold foods to the table to compensate for their technical difficulties. The only thing comped at the end were the peas, because even for these folks, plastic wrap in peas is one country too far.The only conclusion we can come to is that they really didn't think they needed our business.

Love this place. We shot a movie here called "The Cuban." Great staff. Great atmosphere. Great food. Love the music. Would definitely recommend this for a date.
