These last warm days of summer call for something chill…and our Peanut Lime Soba Noodles deliver!

Served chilled, flavour-packed with a hint of spice make these noods extra nice.

Artist Mia Dungeon shares her darkly whimsical works with us this month. Inspired by her times on the road, spanning vast landscapes and introspection, her pieces call us to move forward with confidence and empathy through times of fear, chaos, and division.

Dine with these divine creations, available for purchase. Ask your server for details✨
