armchair critic

Sara just told me a funny story. She had a lady come in last night and order 5 things off the menu, eat them all, and then offer her opinions on how we should change each one of those dishes. Really?! Who does that?
Even if you were a chef or a restaurant manager ( which you obviously aren't) nobody asked you!
Do you find yourself going into a coffee shop and telling them they should roast their beans differently? Or buy some flowers and then tell the clerk that they should have been grown differently?
Lady here's my tip to you - those who can DO, those who can't delude themselves into thinking their "considered" opinions matter to professionals. Try Cactus Club next time.
Now excuse me while I go back to making duck prosciutto - from scratch.

pink salt

If all goes my way, we will have another building permit tomorrow to send off to Victoria for Liquor Board approval. For what you may ask? Well for an extended patio. Yes. Yes indeed.
Next week we are launching the new menus with about 8 new dishes for you to try. New benny, new mussels, new salad, a few new desserts, new appies. I am excited.
But my big mission is to find pink salt aka Prague Powder #1. And it is goddamn near impossible to find.
I have to go to deep Langley to get it. So that I can start to make my own Charcuterie. mmmmmmmmm. Smoked buffalo bresaola. Lavender Saucisson.

well hello there

So we have un-officially opened the expansion. I say that as we still have a few things to finish before we will 100% say it's done. But you can sit in the room and enjoy the space already.
We have gone through a bit of housekeeping recently as well - we sold Kantine Urban Cafeteria so that we could focus more on The District.
You will see some more changes soon such as the launch of our new brunch/lunch menu, our updated dinner menu, and our updated cocktail and wine list.
