| - Has a lot of promise, but unfortunately is riding a wave of hype. Food was relatively creative, but mostly out of balance. Had the cocktails of the day (bloody Caesar with crab claw and something resembling an aperol spritz), lobster poutine, tomato salad, short ribs with spaetzle, and scallops with gnocchi in carrot sauce. I'm a bit disappointed to be saying this but only the simplest dish, tomato salad, really worked well. Next the scallop dish was well composed, but the poutine gravy and the spaetzle overpowered the dishes they were intended to complement. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant has a lot to offer beyond food, but in a province of amazingly executed food, Chuck Hughes didn't bring it...
