This is an amazing 2 star (rated out of 3) restaurant that we are fortuneate enough to have only one block south of CLAUSTRO Gallery and Studios. AND … there are only 83 2 star restaurants in Canada … so if you haven’t already enjoyed their menu, we encourage you to stop in … also one of the most extensive wine lists north of Toronto! They are located at 345 King Street – just contact 705-527-9199 for information and reservations.

This painting (see below) by Carol Currie, is now being displayed in the Restaurant, along with a few other smaller ones displayed by the cash register. Enjoy!
