What a hidden gem! We went for weekend brunch & were not disappointed. Beautiful, chic restaurant with professional & friendly staff. The Smoked Salmon Benedict was exceptional. Fresh, flavourful salmon paired with perfectly poached eggs & a delicious hollandaise sauce that left us craving more. On the other hand, the 1881 Breakfast was absolutely incredible. The tender meat, flavourful mashed potatoes, & a fried egg with a runny yolk created a perfect harmony of textures & tastes. This dish was truly a surprise that elevated our breakfast to another level. Hats off to the chef! To be completely honest, the pictures don't do it justice.

Excellent food, beautiful presentation, very reasonable prices. Well worth the exorbitant parking fee for the lot next door.

. The salads were perfect, with dressings that were full of taste without overpowering the greens or cheese. I dared to try the catch of the day-ray- & was pleasantly impressed with the subtle taste & soft texture. The lovely wife had the Cavatelli & enjoyed the last of it despite being very full. The shared chocolate dessert was superb. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful & pleasant server/bartende
