still waiting....

It's now been 4 1/2 weeks since we gave our paperwork to the city to get a building permit.
I'd like to thank Gord ,my landlord, for being so patient and generous with us.
Here's a bit of PR from Scout Magazine and Sean Sherwood.

Jeff and I are also now completely back at the district, having recently sold Kantine to a couple of great guys who wanted a crack at owning their own restaurant.

Just in time to wait and wait and wait for the city to issue us a permit.
*interesting trivia* when we built the district originally from getting the keys to opening the doors to the public took 9 weeks. We got our building permit in 1 day that time. Now it's been just over 8 weeks and we haven't even brought the tools out of storage yet.

updates updates

A few things to note...in preparation of the upcoming expansion we are making a few changes - some temporary and some permanent.
As of next week we will be offering brunch/lunch on Friday Saturday and Sunday ONLY.
As of this week sundaysessions is going to take a short hiatus until the expansion is complete.
We'd also like to welcome Nick, Robin and Marco to the kitchen team, and wish Ben and Shuhei safe travels.

sorry about the delay...

I know, I know I haven't kept you in the loop. I'm sorry.
I will be announcing some winners soon for the Cocktail Naming Contest.
We'll probably do it around the opening of the expansion.
Where are we on that? Still waiting on Building Permits. Yes it has been almost 7 weeks since we began and that was eaten up by an "architect" who took money to outsource an engineer after 3 weeks of lovely song and dance. Then we joined the queue for the City's Permit issuance. So wonderful.Here's some pics of pre-construction anyways..
