Very disappointed

Food is top drawer. A St Catharines hidden gem!

Martin Renaud

Absolutely great. All the food was of superb quality. If you're in the area, it's definitely a must to stop in and experience the food.

Reid Moorsmith

Fantastic find! Delicious small plates and convivial atmosphere.

Brandon Portman-Secuur

Wonderful little local spot. Food was great, drinks were great, service was great. If you're thinking of going to a chain spot over here, don't. Go here. It's just straight up better

Kyra Moate

Always delicious, and the owner/chef is fabulous.

Phillipe Bamford

Nice layed back atmosphere Amazing food! Everything we ate exceeded our expectations drinks and food where very reasonably priced. Makes for a nice date night!

Don’t miss out on this charming little bistro. Went here for dinner recently and the attentiveness/friendliness of the staff was only outdone by the quality of the food itself. Because it’s small plate, I was able to try several things and can vouch for the sliders and pork belly tacos as being prepared masterfully. To have this little gem inconspicuously located on Russel is a huge boon for the neighbourhood and I’m extremely excited to return and try more of the menu.

Such a lovely dinner! The portions were generous, everything was cooked perfectly, especially our sous vide beef, it was so tender! Melted in your mouth. The owner took time to speak with us and mentioned that the meat was cooking for 48 hours prior! Not to mention the environment was relaxing, and the staff were so friendly and personable it was a great vibe. They even were okay with us bringing our dog to sit with us on the patio which was really awesome! One of the best hidden gems in St. Catharines ????

Amazing food and environment! The constantly changing menu consists of small plates, and the owner creates a lovely environment that creates an intimate dining experience. A fine dining option at an affordable price.

Don't let the storefront sign fool you -- this place is not "Heinz Appliances". Whether or not the facade is preserved to honour neighbourhood history, I can't say, but the restaurant's interior is trendy and cozy. They're operating on a limited menu until Covid restrictions lighten up, so we ordered cheeseburgers. Everything was homemade, from the pickles to the brioche bun, and the flavours blew us away. The presentation was thoughtful -- especially for takeout -- and the service was impeccable. I can't wait until lockdowns ease so we can explore the full menu. Recommended!
