The restaurant is lovely. The food we got was tasty and memorable.

Just be careful if you get seated outside. There's a wasp problem that had us scurrying inside to eat at the bar.

Gorgeous atmosphere. This old church with the evening light streaming through the stained glass windows is absolutely gorgeous. The garden and the care taken to keep it up is absolutely amazing. We sat on the patio in the warm summer night with flowers everywhere and it was a perfect setting. Food was exceptional. Mushroom toast crostini was perfectly toasted. Salmon and duck dishes were amazing, both in taste and presentation. Love the warm maple-kale and hazelnuts that came with the duck. Service was very good, but it felt a bit rushed. We hadn't even finished our main course, still had a half a bottle of wine and he asked "dessert or bill?" That was the only negative from an otherwise perfect night. Highly recommend!!!

It’s a nice place. Food is delicious but some of the dishes don’t seem to be well constructed. For example the duck comes with really chewy kale, walnuts and cherries. And that’s it. Which is not filling at all. The staff is friendly and quite nice but seem that they were either super busy or not quite well trained. e.g. when pouring water they’d pour quite hard it starts bouncing all around.

Excellent wedding venue, located in a gorgeous historic building.
Gardens are pristinely kept and wonderfully arranged.
Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance and bathroom.
Free parking lot at the back, plenty of room.
Lovely patio, dog friendly.

I am not sure if they were short staffed, but we had to wait in line to get in with all the other people who had made reservations. We had to make way for the waitress who needed to use the same door to serve the patio. This was functionally very awkward, especially for the waitress. The menu was not inspiring. They were out of some of the ingredients. The food took forever to come. There were ingredients missing in our dishes, and the sandwiches were dry. We were overall disappointed. We had heard great things, so I booked it for a special family brunch. I will assume they were having an off day, and this was not normal for them. Let's hope :) Otherwise, the restaurant concept and atmosphere was quite beautiful.

Such a beautiful place to have lunch! The food and drinks were good and came promptly. Most of us got the chicken and waffles with maple syrup and hot honey drizzle. The prices were decent for both food and drinks. There were a few decent veggie options which would also work for halal. Our server was lovely and she even gave us some good recommendations for shopping afterwards!

5 stars all around! Great food, atmosphere, and staff! This was recommended by a local resident to us. Otherwise, we would not have found it, as it is slightly off of the main street. Located in a renovated church, this is not your average restaurant! Highly recommend!

The food itself was pretty good. I feel anything you order here would be pretty decent. The highlight would definitely be the bread pudding. It has a caramelized bottom and with the ice cream it would’ve been superb.

The ambiance and setting is already really beautiful and relaxing

I was going to give this a 5 star until the dessert came around. It took about 20-30 min for the dessert to arrive, and in the mean time we were just waiting there. The waitress did not refill any coffee or water and trying to get their attention was pretty bad as the place is so big. We were sitting there thirsty. We were ready to tell them to cancel the desserts as we had other engagements to go to. The waitress sees my hand and she brings out the desserts. Pretty ridiculous. Service wasn’t great. And she knew I wasn’t happy.

Overall I would visit this place for the ambiance and food but don’t expect quick or regular service from the waitress.
