Camille's Review

Working closely with independent farmers, the chef at this long-established favorite concentrates on such locally sourced products as lamb, duck, and seafood; quail, venison, and ostrich often make an appearance, too. The menu is based on what's fresh, but might include lemon, ginger, and rock-prawn bisque; halibut with sea scallops and tiger prawns; or organic beef tenderloin. The five-course tasting menu, with optional wine matching, is popular. The wine cellar-like backdrop, on the lower floor of a historic building in Bastion Square, is candlelit and romantic, with exposed brick, local art, soft jazz and blues, and lots of intimate nooks and crannies. The wine list is well selected.

    Went here on the recommendation of our servers at Cafe Brio and the Pacific Restaurant and the Concierge at the Empress. An easy walk from the Empress, the service was wonderful and the chef did a masterful job of using local goods. The wine selection was average, but we got a good match anyways. Probably won't go back next time we visit because there are so many other good restaurants, but I sincerely do recommend it.
