    Don’t miss your chance to try the Salmon Alexander … limited offering on their summer menu (unless we convince them to keep it!). It’s heavenly - light, full of flavour, and exquisitely finished. If I could Door Dash it, I’d have it for dinner every night!

    What a great hidden gem this turned out to be. We ordered the Rib Eye and Tenderloin steaks. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Both meals were simple in design with some veggies but very tasty and filling. There was no one flavour that overwhelmed your taste buds. Both of us, although full, left us craving for more. We ended up going back the next day to sample a couple of the lunch specials. We indulged in the Curry Beef Brisket with Rice and the Volcano Fried Rice. Simply delicious. Simplicity and taste at its best.
