Enjoyed the Family Valentine’s Brunch today! Delicious food, charming venue and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back in the spring and summer to catch lovely views of the nearby river !
Amrita Maharaj-Dube ClientsThe food was fantastic, a comment I overheard was "best event food I've ever had". And incredibly affordable! Chef Duff was easy to communicate with in advance and had everything set up for the day of so I could just enjoy my day and didn't feel the need to stress about any of the details, they were all taken care of. If something ever deserves 6 stars, this is the place.
Ashley Loewen ClientsMy hubbie and I had lunch at this quaint location today. The food was really delicious. My husband had a jerk chicken and pineapple rice bowl with cornbread on the side, which he said was outstanding. I had an individual pizza with pulled chicken, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and goat cheese, which was to die for... The portions were generous, prices were excellent, and the staff was very friendly and attentive.
Jane Marie Ferko Clients
We ordered the Thanksgiving turkey dinner and it was wonderful! We have ordered from them before and have always been happy with the order. We love vegetables so we make a point of ordering and extra serving of veg. Our dinner for 4 has given the 2 of us 6 meals.
