Chef Angie Mohr’s southern low country-inspired
SAV Eatery and Smokehouse opened this summer
on Wellington Street. It is open Tuesday–Sunday,
11:30–9pm. The response so far from both locals
and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive.

Beginning the last week of August, The Red Rabbit
will be open on Sundays and Mondays for lunch
only. Part of their philosophy of fair wages and
benefits for their staff involves “a commitment to
balancing work expectations with our personal
lives. As we are passionate restaurant people,
sometimes we forget how important the balance
is.” Nosh Monday returns November 6 (taking
reservations starting in October). On Sundays, The
Red Rabbit recommends trying their sister resto
Okazu for dinner. www.redrabbitresto.com
The Mill Stone features a small seasonally-inspired
all-day menu with small plates, bolstered by a
rotating selection of feature dishes with a focus on
lighter and healthier fare. A curated list of delicious
tacos has been a massive hit this season. Look for
cocktails on tap and in bottles, homemade bitters
and fluidity between the kitchen and the bar with
globally-inspired flavours and locally-sourced
ingredients. www.themillstone.ca
The Prune and Bar One Fifty One will stay open past
the festival season. It will be open weekends for
October and open for private groups and Christmas
parties until January. www.theprune.com
Revival House will participate in the province-wide
LCBO promotion “Taste Local Love Local” from Sept.
