Located inside the Marriott lobby, this speakeasy was a fascinating post dinner excursion.

We did not have reservations but luckily got there early enough to secure seats at the bar. I would say sitting at the bar is the best spot as you can view the gamut of house-finished liquors as well as see the bartenders at work.

We were greeted with our names written in our seats which was a nice touch along with a complimentary cocktail sample. My friend and I each ordered two cocktails.

I ordered the Islay Gin & Tonic and the All About the Basil. The Islay Gin & Tonic definitely is a drink that you experience through smell first from the rosemary smoke.

I would say the All About the Basil was my favourite of the two being extremely refreshing and herbaceous.

Came in at opening on Friday for an early dinner and happy hour.

We got the cauliflower and black bean happy hour tacos. 2 tacos for $8. The cauliflower ones were our favourites.

Service was a bit slow between courses but our server was very friendly. Likely it was due to the place filling up quickly.

The cubano was crisp and tasty.
