This restaurant is a gem and an absolute pleasure to have in our city. I came for the first time for a casual but nice dinner with a friend, and it was absolutely perfect. Sitting humbly on what appears to be a residential street corner, it is absolutely worth driving out to pay this place a visit.
Service was appropriate for a busy Friday night dinner service; we made a reservation easily through open table, and we were seated quickly. It was a slight wait for our server to attend to us, but we otherwise enjoyed prompt service the remainder of the night. Decor was pleasant; classy but humble.
The food is farm to table themed, and is reminiscent of similarly themed restaurants in Saskatoon (Primal, The Hollows) as well as elsewhere (Fable in Vancouver, Pigeonhole in Calgary). With fresh earthy ingredients, there was not one element I didn't enjoy.
We started with the wild and cultivated mushroom appetizer which was stunning: a beautifully presented collection of mushrooms swimming in smooth white melted cheese, along with a side of crusty bread for dipping. Both filling and satisfying. For the main, I had the pork belly, and it was absolutely outstanding: soft, moist, and with just the right touch of crispy crackling. The spaetzle with sun-dried tomatoes was a wonderful backdrop.
Pricing ran around $50-60 for an appetizer, main, and a drink. Truly an outstanding experience, and well worth the price. I'm already excited for my next visit, and all the people I plan to share this place with.
