"The restaurant is amazing, service is quick, and very polite. The poutine was surprisingly good. They serve craft beer from a brewery down the street. I wish I had space in my luggage, I would have definitely brought a 6 pack to take with me. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to visit the gallery, I will add to the list the next time I visit."

"Cool spot which houses a fun restaurant. There is a tiny museum, clean bathrooms and a nice path. Parking lot is small but there is additional parking across the street."
