Offers curated wine list and hearty menu of meat- oriented dishes. Everything here is made from scratch and uses fresh local ingredients. If you are a meat eater (but they have amazing salmon as well) or enjoy delicious mashed potatoes, this is a fantastic dinner spot.

is a family-run, French - inspired bistro. Since opening in 2018 it has gained a lot of recognition and press. It is simply phenomenal and if time allows, I suggest grabbing a reservation. It is truly a destination dinding spot. They offer unique prix fixe menus and can please the toughest food critics. (Bar Le Cot is their sister restaurant )

I am a syrah drinker, and this Andrew Murray is just beautiful. The indoor space and outdoor terrace are gorgeous. They have some great Syrahs. I did a sit down session with Issac a few months ago and it was a wonderful experience.
