| - A hidden gem for sure! I'd never even heard of this place until recently, and it's in such a central location, close to Union Station as well as my office building. It's not a huge restaurant, but I like it that way, it seems cozier and more intimate, but it's still very classy and nice. They have large windows on the side so you can get a great view of the lake and some city lights in the evening.
There menu is a little bit on the smaller side, but the food is really, really good. I ordered the citrus and guava glazed atlantic salmon, which came with papaya salsa, field greens, and jerusalem artichoke chips. It was the perfect blend of sweet and savoury with the papaya, and a good mixture of different textures: the crunchiness of the chips and the soft flesh of the salmon, which was perfectly cooked and not dry at all. I loved it and would definitely recommend!
My friend got the blue crab cobb salad and it looked amazing. It came out on a really big dish and had tons of vegetables and avocado and a good amount of crab, and she said it was delicious!
I definitely would love to come back to this place! It's classy, but has such a cool, chill, environment - and they play great music, lots of Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran crooning in the background. And for a place as nice as this, located on the 36th floor of a building in the downtown core, the prices are super affordable and I would even consider to be cheap for downtown standards. My dish was only $25 before tax and tip. Loved everything about this place, and had a great time!
