Limited reservations each night are exclusively available for our chefs multi-course family style menu. This menu is carefully crafted showcasing the best ingredients from our local foraging and farming community. If you’d prefer to choose your own adventure, we leave our bar and select tables open for walk-in guests to order from our A La Carte Menu. If all reservations are booked up, you can try to jump on the chefs menu as walk-in guests by arriving at 5:30pm or closer to 8pm. *Please note chefs menus can sell out

Our Chefs Menu experience is a “blind” family style multi-course adventure that showcases hyper-local and seasonal ingredients. As such there is no menu posted ahead of time. It consists of 10-12 dishes, served in approximately 4-5 courses. If you have questions about dietary restrictions, etc. please contact us for details. Our A La Carte Menu is posted HERE.

Weekend brunch reservations for 1-6 guests are for A La Carte dining with the option to order our brunch chefs multi-course menu; A similar though more concise experience to dinner, with the inclusion of coffee or tea. Michelin has included our brunch as one of the best in the city. Check out what they have to say about it HERE

Brunch reservations are allotted 1.5 hours for parties of 2-3, 1.75 hours for parties of 4-5 and 2 hours for parties of 6 or more.

We are vegetarian! Because we build our menu around local and seasonal vegetables, most dishes are inherently plant-based and vegan. We do, however, offer some local dairy and egg options for our omnivore friends to enjoy.

Yes, we can accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions, including vegan and gluten-free / celiac . Please make a note of dietary restrictions and allergies when making your reservation, at least 48 hours ahead so we can confirm them with you. We never use peanuts, though we often have dishes with other nuts, specifically locally grown hazelnuts. We generally are not able to accommodate allium allergies, as our kitchen uses those ingredients extensively. Please note that we can not guarantee 100% against cross contamination.

Yes! We offer a curated pairing featuring 5 small glasses of local BC wines for $55 per person. It includes bubbles, red wine, dessert wine, and everything in between! Wine pairings are available as an enhancement to your chefs menu experience and can be ordered at your table. Please allow a little extra time for your meal if you plan to enjoy the wine pairing.

Our cocktails are as cool as our food! Signature cocktails change with the seasons just like our menu. Take a dive into our wine list - with vegan, organic, bio-dynamic and low-intervention methods, we have a wine list to phone home about. Speaking of home, you can take a bottle home with you from our bottle shop at a $15 discount from the menu price! Don't drink? opt for one of our zero-proof beverages, ranging from wine to beer to carefully crafted cocktails.

Modifications and substitutions are respectfully declined. Our kitchen is small, and we only keep the menu we've prepared for you on hand. Our talented kitchen team has already spent the day ensuring that every sauce, emulsion, and puree is perfectly made for your arrival. Our menu is deceptively complex and components are carefully designed together on your plate.

Our zero-waste kitchen ensures that every ingredient is celebrated to its fullest potential - utilizing the stems, skins, pits and scraps from our fruits and vegetables, re-purposing them into the many components that make up our menu. We value the meaningful connections with local organic farmers, foragers and purveyors to the point where 99% of everything you find on your plate (and in some cases the plate itself) was grown, harvested or made in British Columbia and Western Canada.
