History
The restaurant opened in February 2017, and is owned by Toronto restauranteur Jen Agg, who is known for her previous restaurant venture 'The Black Hoof'.[3] It serves contemporary cuisine,[4] offering a seasonal a la carte menu.[2] Agg cited the restaurant was looking to fill the hole of "vibrant wine bars with excellent food," which she felt was lacking in Toronto at the time of opening.[5]
At opening, the kitchen was headed by executive chef and co-owner Mitch Bates, who previously led the kitchen at Michelin-starred Momofuku Ko and former Toronto restaurant Shoto, which were both a part of David Chang's Momofuku group of restaurants.[6]
Recognition
The business was named a Bib Gourmand restaurant by the Michelin Guide at Toronto's 2022 Michelin Guide ceremony, and has retained this recognition each year following.[4] A Bib Gourmand recognition is awarded to restaurants who offer "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." Michelin cited the restaurant's "excellent wine list" and the house-made pastas as a "showstopper".[4]
