Wedding Menu

Our Executive Chef Daniele Palanca has been featured on Food Network, Discovery Channel and Lifetime Network, and has served Windsor Essex County for well over 35 years.

Our culinary outlook is to use only premium products that are not only healthy, but taste good as well. Some of the things we take great pride in; all beef is certified and is raised in Ontario, our poultry is locally raised and our vegetables are local hydroponically grown.

We do not use preservatives or artificial flavours and all food is made fresh, and not frozen. We bake our focaccia fresh daily, and are able to alter any recipe or dish to meet any health concerns or dietary restrictions. We thank you for considering us and look forward to making your event a memorable one.
