They have a great selection of beers if you're a craft beer person. I used to come here frequently in the past and not much has changed (in a good way). It's a good easy going spot where you can have a few beers with friends. They have a nice outdoor patio area as well so it's a good one to check out when the weather is nice! They have taps, a stocked fridge, and a large bottle / can selection to choose from. It's also a good place to stop in if you're looking for a case to take home or to a party, for example.

We had rented out the bottom space for a Christmas party and it was perfect. Such a ln old comfy bar feel downstairs which leads out to a wide open outdoor space with a fire pit, stage, and you can even see the busta rhymes mural at the back. Upstairs is very nice and lively and a little more modern even with the extra Christmas decorations. Great chill spot or but also great for events. I recommend getting Gussies next door to cater since they're so close and make taste food!

If you are looking for a fun spot to stop and have a beer this is the place for you! I also loved the fun decor of all of the saucers all of the walls. Such a fun and unique spot.

I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

We had…read morea large-ish party and the service was on point, meals came out in a timely manner and were able to pay and get in and out relatively quick.

I didn't get a photo of the salads but they were beautiful. The menu is quite large with lots of yummy sounding options so I can't wait to go back.

We came in today with reasonable expectations after finding the restaurant online and seeing mostly positive reviews. We ordered several items to share as a family: broccoli cheddar soup, a French dip sandwich with green beans, and poutine fries. Unfortunately, the broccoli cheddar soup was very bland and lacked seasoning. We had a few bites and ended up leaving the rest. The French dip was the standout of the meal. While the meat itself was a bit dry, dipping it in the au jus made it the most enjoyable and edible item we ordered. The poutine fries were disappointing. They were very basic and didn't resemble what I would expect from poutine--more like prepackaged frozen fries that had been deep-fried. We didn't finish them and left most behind, though we still paid for them. Our child wouldn't eat any of the food, so we ordered the fried ravioli appetizer, hoping it would be similar to versions we've had elsewhere. Sadly, that was another letdown. Although we were told there was no breading, the texture suggested otherwise. This was the one item we did send back. I wouldn't recommend this location for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities, as much of the food appears to be made from frozen or prepackaged items. That said, our server was absolutely wonderful--the highlight of the visit. She was kind, attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her sweet demeanor and constant smile were honestly the reason we didn't complain more at the time. While I wouldn't return for the food, I might consider stopping by again strictly for drinks during a sporting event. Otherwise, this just wasn't the dining experience we were hoping for.

Beers were reasonably priced and they were delicious. Food was also good. We will be back to try the pizza. So glad we found this local brewery. Give them a try - you will be glad you did.

But as I have said before while writing these kinds of reviews, better late than never. The beer that Steve and I enjoyed was a good one! The name of it was I Can See My Helles from here. So what that is is a Helles Lager and it was a good one! I do enjoy these types of beers as they are usually fairly light and that is something I can completely appreciate. Flavors to be on the lookout for with this beer are malty, a hint of apple, bready and a clean finish. It is also very light bodied which is exactly what I like to strive towards as the warmer summer months are starting to crank up once again!
