We focus on using home-grown, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients, and source from local providers: sockeye salmon from British Columbia, bison from Alberta, lobster from Nova Scotia, and dairy products from Ontario. We are the only restaurant to seed and grow fresh lettuce and sprouts (in our main dining room, to be exact) and we serve only Ocean-Wise certified seafood. Our wine list showcases primarily VQA wines, including selections from B.C., and we feature Canadian rye in many of our creative cocktails. These elements set us apart in achieving a unique yet authentic Canadian experience; one that we are proud for our guests to be a part of.
