  Excellent place for creative dishes and true handcrafted cocktails. The chef elevates every dish into a piece of art, of which we shared several. The outstanding ones included the special of arctic char croquettes served with grilled asparagus and kale, as well as the fried potatoes with capacola and roe, and lastly, the Salt of the Earth dessert. Who knew beet ice cream, mushroom, chocolate crumb and pickled blueberries would rock our world so hard. Absolutely amazing! The service was also excellent, warm and welcoming. We will be back again and again.

  Mandel Hitzer (owner) is pure genius! His creative art he puts into his cuisine is masterful. Every dish was fantastic and the service was equally great! Recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

  Incredible food. The dishes being served family style makes it a great to order a variety of wonderful options on their menu and try the many flavour combinations that the chef had to offer. The baby potatoes were very good, and surprising to see the roe on top for some added texture. The ambiance is also unique with interesting art and the dinnerware and serving dishes appearing to be one of a kind handmade items.

  Amazing night of food and conversation. The staff were amazing at explaining the dishes and helping us decide. The food was awesome and each dish left us wanting more. The deserts are extremely good and very generous portions.

  We visited Deer + Almond on Friday, December 29, 2017 for a Birthday Business Luncheon ... We waited in front of the Bar Area and I had to eventually ask do we seat ourselves or are we seated ... There was an empty table at each of the corners in the back of the Restaurant ... I asked if we could have one of those for privacy because it was a business Lunch ... I was abruptly told "No" because they "reserve" those for Parties of 4 or for overfill of Parties of 2 ... We were seated in the centre section where there is a grouping of about 4 tables for 2 and no privacy ... Service was slow ... I had the Eggplant and my dining partner had the Burger and fries ... The Eggplant had way too much tomato sauce on it! ... My Colleague said his Burger and fries were "adequate", but nothing special for the price...We both had a bowl of the Potato & Leek Soup which was served luke warm...The Soup portion was small, but presented in a bowl and should more adequately be described as a "Cup of Soup" not a bowl...During our Luncheon visit the Restaurant never did fill up and the seating in the corner areas that we would have preferred for privacy went unused...After dining our bill was not brought to the table and we had to go up to the bar area to ask for it...Paying was also slow as there was an issue with the debit machine...We did not raise any issues at the Restaurant as we would not have had the time for our soup to be reheated or for another Menu selection to replace the Eggplant...I hope the Deer + Almond Team take note of these comments in order to make adjustments for a better dining experience for future Guests.
