It’s been a pretty crazy two and a half years since we’ve opened. We’ve seen a lot of changes, from within our team, our suppliers to our dining program and menus. 

From the very beginning, our goal was to create a restaurant that was doing something different, but still familiar. A place for people to try new experiences, create new memories, and discover old favourites. Basically, a restaurant we ourselves would want to eat at.

To us, that’s a restaurant  with delicious food, but still good value; a place you could come for a snack on a weekday or splurge on a weekend with a tasting menu complete with truffles and caviar. We wanted to create something that’s always changing, always evolving, always growing.

I feel incredibly grateful for each and every member of our team that has helped us become who we are today, both past and present. 

I am so thankful for every supplier, farmer, and forager who has provided us with the goods to showcase and highlight on the plate. 

I’m thankful for living in a place that has so much beautiful wild produce  we can harvest and share.

We must also thank our guests, who have been so supportive of us through the various stages of the pandemic; the schnitzel and goulash days, the patio only service, the limited seating days and hardest of all, describing complicated menu items through a mask.

And to all of our friends in the industry, who have had our backs since day one, we appreciate you as well. 

I feel very honoured to stand at the top of this list, surrounded by so many talented chefs, teams, and great restaurants.

I feel energised, and charged by a huge validation – the work we’ve been putting in is being recognized. This is what we’ve been working towards since day one.

Now, it’s time to take a breath, appreciate this huge milestone,  then put our heads back down, and keep pushing on.
