This was a fantastic dinner. Everything we had was great. The red lentil hummus and the fish and game Board was great. There was this food I can only describe sourdough chips that was also amazing!! I had the char and it was great.

It is located right in the park by the river, and is such a beautiful and wonderful spot. The lights, ambiance, and overall vibe is so worth a visit. On top of that, the food was incredible.

All the food ingredients are Canadian... every item on the menu! Pretty impressive that they are able to create such a spectacular menu with only Canadian ingredients. Holy cow it was spectacular. The duck was sous vide and I've never had anything in my life that tasted so good.
