I've been wanting to check out this 17th Ave neighbourhood locale and finally had a chance to with a few friends. The patio had a very relaxed vibe literally, we went for drinks, but ended up staying for dinner. The atmosphere along with one of the owners created an environment where you would want to make this a part of your regular scene to catch up with friends. A few of our party sampled the "Shaft," and swore by it's "pick me up" properties after a long work week.
P.S. Loved the Calamari!
