I have to absolutely rave about the food at this place even though it's a touch on the pricy side. The sandwiches are divine, the soups are delectable and the cakes will have you licking your lips in glee. The service is wonderful as well as even though the place can get busy at times, they try hard to keep everything together and all the customers happy. The place itself is in a very high ceilinged funky building and it's a touch dark in there so it would be great if all the light bulbs on that high ceiling worked. Regardless, it's well worth visiting and enjoying some great food.

This is by far the best vegan restaurant we have ever had the pleasure of dining at. We had the Greek platter and the Ravioli. Both were prepared and presented beautifully. I canât even describe the flavours, every bite was amazing. Service was excellent.We did not try any of the desserts this time, but will be looking forward to that for our next visit.

We wanted to try Nanaimos only fine dining restaurant and unfortunately it didnt quite meet our expectations. We started with the charcuterie board which was a nice concept but poorly executed - a small amount of meat and cheese overpowered by unidentifiable pickled vegetables. I had the $28 flatiron steak with no flavour and rock hard vegetables that fly off the plate when you try to eat them. My wife tried the stuffed chicken and said flavour was alright but chicken itself was bone dry. Service was average, not overly friendly or attentive. Decor was marvelous and the restaurant was very comfortable and inviting. All in all, very overpriced for what they deliver, but may be worth a second visit to try something else.
