I've been here for drinks, we sat at the bar. Really loved how everything was decorated around for Christmas. Our bartender was nice + fast service, however there were not many people who were at the restaurant at the time. We got charcuterie board and few glasses of wine, I liked everything. Would recommend this place for drinks in a nice ambiance.

Every time we have gone we've had excellent cocktails. Andrew at the bar is fantastic - go sit up at the bar for great conversations and drinks! Will be back soon to try some food!

Went for lunch on a weekday afternoon in September. It was a beautiful day out and we sat on the patio. It's a great patio for people watching on Lakeshore. The food was very good. My wife and I both had the club sandwich. We also shared the fried oyster mushrooms to start. The sandwiches excellent. The oyster mushrooms were a bit bland But overall the quality of the food was really good. My only piece of constructive feedback would be that the service was slow. Took about 10 minutes for a server to greet us after we seated. It was probably an hour from when we arrived to when we got our food. It wasn't a big deal as we were in no rush and we're enjoying the the nice day, but it wasn't very busy and it shouldn't have taken that long. Otherwise it's a great spot, the food is good so will definitely return at some point.

Came here for a birthday Sunday night (today). Food was great but service was bare minimum AT MOST. Being in the service industry for over a decade, we expected more. Server seemed polite and check up on us a couple of times but there was no engagement. Didnt ask if we wanted more drinks (which we would have order) no questions about us celebrating anything which was stated clearly when making reservation. Guess they don’t do anything for birthdays- would have purchased a dessert if that was the case, just wanted something special for my friend. Grew up in Oakville so I know the area well and have heard good things about this location. Overall, disappointed with attentiveness and service, definitely experienced better.

Came here explicitly for the oysters. Ordered a dozen even though the cost on the menu said $48, which amounted to $4 a shuck. They were underwhelming and tiny little oysters, nothing special about it. At least they were fresh. Also ordered the grilled octopus which was unfortunately rubberized and served with unseasoned potatoes. I was pretty unimpressed with that. Ordered one of the $18 specialty cocktails and I was shocked to discover how effing tiny of a serving it was. It was tasty but lasted 2 sips. This place plays itself off as swanky but it’s faking it till it makes it, and it hasn’t made it yet as far as I’m concerned. Service was incredibly slow, server spilled ALL the melted ice water from the oyster dish on my mom when clearing the plate, which didn’t matter, but isn’t the kind of mistake a place passing itself as fine would experience. If you have money to burn and no imagination on where to burn it, this is the place for you.

10 of us got together to enjoy a wonderful Tuesday night dinner. All the food we had was absolutely delicious. I specifically had the tuna poke bowl and enjoyed every morsel. Our server was patient, friendly, and very informative. She did not make us feel rushed at all. It was an excellent dining experience.

Honestly I thought it would be better than it is! The food was ok and not great! The staff was kind but not knowledgeable they didn’t know much about the food being served and we ended up having a platter that is more an appetizer and we had no bread since the staff thought it came with it! We ordered it as a main thinking we didn’t need anything more. Not sure if we will go again thinking the hype is more than what is offered. Oyster was great though.
