Walked in Saturday night at 7 and got a table for 4 immediately.
Service - attentive, family-friendly.
Atmosphere - especially as the evening went on there were tables of smart-casual dressed people out for a nice dinner so we tried to be not too noticeable in our windblown wrinkly casual family group. We felt welcome though. The finishings were very natural and plain, I liked the different woods and materials that were contemporary but warm.
Food - delicious, pork shoulder on spaetzle with warm apple, salad with various house-made pickles - yum and dressed just right, salt cod doughnuts on fresh cucumber pickles with slivers of preserved lemons, brisket burger with taro root chips. The server and kitchen were happy to bring a bowl of buttered fettuccine. The bread bowl with red pepper dip wasn't really worth it. The Canadian wine was okay. The s'more pie was roasted marshmallows on a cheese cake with a graham crust, not too big, not too sweet, just right.
Offers take-out from 3 - 9 too. The grab and go area has a nice selection of cafe items and sweets.
I would return: just the right mix of comfort and contemporary that satisfies without being too heavy.
