Good, actually great vibes. Food was tasty and if I went with some friends or a partner, it would…read morehave been even better. I went by myself and had the "we'll make you a cocktail." It was a tasty and easy to drink mezcal drink with a bit of chocolate and topped with a lime leaf. I had the steak tartare with mushrooms. It was fun and slightly vinegar-ed. I had pan con tomate and unfortunately, it was a bit bland. I don't think the tomatoes were sweet nor flavorful enough so I ended up putting the steak tartare on top. I also had their smoked sardine and egg and surprisingly, it was my favorite. The sardines were quite good! The waitstaff is nice and always ready with a smile. There's limited space and even more limited seating.. as in half the people were just standing because there weren't any chairs. Seems like a great (first) date spot and pre bar hopping restaurant.

Both were very nice, when I preferred the Siren's Sin as I enjoyed the brighter flavors. For nibbles, we ordered the lamb baklava. It came as a little nest of kataifi with a braised lamb shank and topped with aioli and pistachios. The sweet and savoury flavours were interesting and made for a good small bite. Nice ambiance and service, but I would expect it to be a pricey meal.

I came here for a few drinks and snacks with a friend one afternoon…read more I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. The environment is warm and cosy, the staff very friendly and charming. Against my better judgement I ordered the sangria and was rewarded with a nice, simple drink that wasn't the typical abomination of saccharine fruit salad with booze, but a nice refreshing quencher that was pleasantly tart. I enjoyed it so much I had two! My friend had their sangria and then their colossally huge aperol spritz. It was too sweet for me, but she really enjoyed it. I also like trying out different vermouths, so the bartender walked me through their options, and I opted for his personal favourite. For food, we had their: Oxtail croquettes which were really delicious! There is some spice in there, but it is mild. Big flavour, so it's good to share. Pan Con Tomate, which was a nice simple side dish in between two flavour bombs. Grilled beef short ribs - very flavourful, but a tad salty. It's a small dish but it packs a lot of flavour. Overall, from what I had, I would say that they have succeeded in the drinks with snacks category. We only sampled a few items, but they were big on flavour, so perfect to share with friends over drinks. I'm looking forward to trying it again soon!

But honestly, it was all good. Very good flavors! Our waiter then brought over some sort of digestif that tasted like cherry to me, also good and unexpected! There are such unique tapas and pairings, I would love to come back and try more!

We got there during the happy hour special, but our server never mentioned the happy hour nor did they follow up a few minutes before the happy hour ended so that we can get another drink which I found wasn't the greatest. Normally at any other restaurant I'm seated during a happy hour special. The server makes sure that they let no happy hours ending soon.

Each dish has elevated twist, and the price is so reasonable and even generous for the quality. Cocktails are excellent (lots of line-ups). They also serve nice choices of local craft beers on tap. We ordered: (Food) #Cast Iron Baked Brie fresh baked brie with house-made wild berry compote, candied pecans, prosciutto, garlic crostini $17 : This served as perfect appetizer for 3 of us. Enjoyable. Variety of ways to enjoy the baked brie. #Canadian Striploin 7oz striploin, garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables: We tried different & great steak dish here before, and this one is also EXCELLENT - the on-point seasonings, perfectly med-rare. Roasted veggies and mashed potato leave its own flavour and texture with right amount of seasonings. #Stuffed Mushroom Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a beurre blanc sauce, topped with fresh Parmesan: I wished the ravioli itself had more mushroom-forward flavor, and the wrapper had more delicacy (in terms of thickness and texture). However, I loved the beurre Blanc sauce - it was foamy - making the butter-ly and creamy sauce feel light in the mouth. Nice hint of tangy-ness. #Herb Crusted Salmonwith garlic herb mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables, and beurre blanc sauce: The same sauce as ravioli, that matched with salmon well. (Cocktails) #Fig Fizz: With Durham distillery Gin, Raspberry Liqueur, fig jam, lemon juice, honey syrup, soda # Lavender cosmopolitan # Passion Prosecco Martini # Spicy Hibiscus Margarita All the cocktails were presented beautifully. Today's highlight was Spicy Hibiscus Margarita. (Dessert) Chocolate Espresso Martini Cake rich vanilla cake, mascarpone, house-made chocolate espresso mousse $10: Essentially, tiramisu. lol. Nicely presented. This place is versatile for us. Just for snack, just for cocktails, just for local beer, and elevated food experiences. Promising satisfying experience in each occasion. So blessed to have this place in my neighbourhood.

The vide of the restaurant is second to none. You find yourself so relaxed listening to the music playing in the background and enjoying the decor. That you realize you're talking to yourself softly saying, you don't ever want to leave. As for the service, we were treated really good. We were always attended to promptly, and we even shared some good laughs with the waitress & waiter. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and everything was out of this world. That's one thing about a Tapa style restaurant, you can order so many things from the menu that peak your interest. Falafel bites- Nicely served crispy balls with tzatziki sauce Lamb chop- seasoned perfectly and the spread that came with it complimented the dish perfectly Lamb baklava- deliciously pack with lamb, and the sauce on top was unique. It had a little sweetness to it, but it fit the dish quite well Lebanese tacos- DE-LIC-IOUS....easily one of the best chicken tacos I have ever had Shawarma platter- this is the biggest entree on the menu. The half order could easily feed two people. This dish was really good. The chicken seasoned perfectly, along with the Turkish salsa, tzatziki, flatbread, tabouli, along with other sides in this entree. Is a must order.

Our hostess Marissa was super kind and accommodating, checking up on us to make sure we were comfortable. The food was delicious. The price point reflects the care given to the quality of food. For drinks, we got the mezcal smoke show and old fashioned. Both well balanced drinks. For food, we got the octopus, falafel bites, manchego cauliflower croquettes, picana beef, and Arabic fries. For dessert we got the baklava. The star of the show was the octopus. It was a generous portion and cooked to perfection. The manchego cauliflower croquettes and falafel bites were crispy and delicious, both having us craving more. The Beef Picana was simple, but cooked and seasoned perfectly. I recommend pairing with the fries, which were so satisfying and the date ketchup was addictive. The baklava was plated nicely and a feast for the eyes. A bit heavy on the pastry cream, but the flavours worked well together and a unique interpretation of the traditional dessert. Overall I'd come back for dinner, to bring some friends to have a nice night with great libations. Thank you Reyna for inviting us back and thank you Marissa for your hospitality.
