What I love:
The atmosphere- comfy, romantic and charming
The decor- creative, classy and funky
The drinks- FABULOUS- made with extra care, fresh ingredients (one of them, love) and are packed with flavor (I tried the plum drink and the pina colada)

The food was great, but this one item changed my life: the onion tarts. I would have never thought to order one of these, but they brought them to our table as a free little canape. Let me just say, they were the highlight of the meal. Call ahead…More »

The drinks made here are made with fresh ingredients (all visible on the island in the bartenders area) and are really good. And pricey. Ladies, it's a good place to get your pretty on. ; )
Delicious. Classy. Perfect.
We were greeted with champagne because it was our birthdays. Nice! We ordered all the starters on the menu and the ceviche was a winner. All tasty though! We also ordered the gnocchi, and it was the best kind I have…More »

My goodness, is there anywhere better to kickback with great food, handsome male servers and tunes that remind you of grade school? No. Well, maybe, but none that come to mind right now because all I can think about are the Pan Fried Oysters that…More »

Clearly a place that is known for its martini's can't (and doesn't need to) have great food... right?
Well, my impression was challenged when Ty took me here for a hot date! YEAH baby!

Tina, Ty & I came here last night for a quick bite to eat. The place was packed (as were all the resto's in Maple Tree Square) and we were lucky to be seated right away at a table upstairs in the back.

My gf and I came here on opening night at 5pm to a resto more full of camera crew than actual patrons. I'd been invited on Twitter and so thought I'd swing by to check it out. Having been in meetings since 8am, I was looking rough, so I darted to the…More »

An original space... and even the word 'original' feels like an understatement.
The name 'PropHouse' comes from cafe's biz of renting out props (you're welcome for stating the obvious). Truthfully though, I wouldn't have guessed it but it…More »

Planning a night out with the girls? Maybe check this place out. Maybe sit in the front open area of the lobby. Maybe a mysterious person will send you 2 bottles of champagne (we still don't know who it was). Maybe cute guys will ask to…More »

If you love secret little spaces, The Diamond will make you swoon. Though not such a secret with locals in the know, the fact that one could possibly walk past it hundreds of times without knowing it's there makes it oh-so special.

Can I just say that this place is simply magical at 7pm in springtime. MAGICAL.
