I got served a raw radish for my first meal. The fried tomatoes weren't bad but frankly poorly executed as if the dish was quickly thrown together. The sablefish was well cooked. The crab raviolis tasted undercooked and the meat inside fibrous. The pork with asparagus and pommes dauphines tasted good and worked well together. The meringue and lavender desert tasted stale and buttery. It was the first time I didn't finish a dish. Our server was nice and the atmosphere was cozy but for the price of this menu we were very disappointed. You can't charge $80 for a menu and serve a raw radish. We won't be able to recommend this restaurant. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$100+ Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Just wonderful. Don’t mind others’ complaints about the menu as it changes frequently. The care, quality and intentionality of the whole experience here is uniquely stellar. This is the kind of place where the whole staff really put their values and tastes into the food and wine pairings, so be prepared for something new. It’s not like their peanuts from Superstore, but from a tiny experimental farmer in Shawnigan. This is the place Bourdain was thinking of when he said “eat at a local restaurant tonight. get the cream sauce”. Live a little. Eat here. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Everything was perfect from start to finish. We reserved the 6 course tasting menu and I can't say enough about it. The service was top notch and the staff knew every component and ingredient in every phenomenal dish. From the lingcod ceviche, agnolotti and pork, beets 3 ways, divine sole fish and pig blood ice cream... I added in the wine tasting menu and every sample was a perfect match to blight the course. Every dish was perfect and my tastebuds are still reminiscing 16 hours later. It was just amazing I can't wait to go back. My only statement, please get comfortable seats to sit. When having a 2 hour+ meal, wooden bench seats became extremely uncomfortable for us to sit on. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Seriously this was the place that had the best food in Victoria. It was so good we asked if we could have second helpings of certain dishes. Since we were visiting from the states, we knew we had to eat as much as we could since we can’t come to this restaurant easily. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Fantastic food and wine. Ordered a few different things and a couple glasses of different red wine and all was excellent.. some of the best porchetta I have ever had. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
