Interesting and delicious food - we had the dips, tuna tartare (my fav!) and jackfruit baos, followed by the feature dessert (blueberry cheesecake) - great cocktails and good atmosphere.

“ one of my best meals in 2025! Chef Jay and the whole team are amazing. You can tell everyone single one of the team loves what they do (and love Squamish) and it shows. You won't regret stopping by here on your way to Whistler! Also, try their mocktails - it tastes like REAL cocktails without the alcohol! Not just juice/soda mix. ”
“ Magnifique ! Open just ten weeks and it’s already perfection. The duck feature was melt in your mouth delicious. Scallop ceviche crispy cool and generous. My ultimate favorite was the Waygu Tartare. Drinks 10/10. You have to try it for yourself. And the service is authentic and superb! Get a seat in the patio you will not regret it. ”
“ You can tell they genuinely care about making the restaurant exceptional. The server is kind. The chef puts a lot of thought into each dish, and it shows—the food is flavorful, made with good ingredients. The cocktails are pretty and taste just as good as they look. ”
“ Great experience here ! We celebrated our anniversary and loved absolutely everything about this place (even the reduced wine menu because the caption on the menu is hilarious, I won’t give it away) They make great cocktails (we’re wine drinkers but observed that they make great cocktails and the barman is super nice). The tapas are tasty, beautiful and moderately priced for the quality and quantity. Great people, great food, great vibe ”
