Aft brings the stern of the boat toRiverside

Aft, named for the land behind a boat, has a strong sustainable thread running through every component of this restaurant.  This cozy restaurant’s eclectic menu will predominately use locally sourced in-season ingredients  and include comfort foods inspired from Deep South, barbeque, roasted dishes, as well as sous-vide cooking. There will also be a whole host of daily themed specials to wet the appetite.

With the interior being designed by the Brother’s Dressler, who design using local, reclaimed, repurposed, and sustainably  harvested materials. The food is not the only thing that will inspire. Aft’s warm interiors are rich with reclaimed woods, much of it locally sourced, with a beautiful bar made from a Maple tree from Toronto island and a the back bar fashioned from a reclaimed pipe organ  from a old church on the east end.

Tucked in the back is a bright and airy patio, which will offer plenty more seating, and is where the smoker will be housed, giving the space a lovely back yard feel.  We are certainly looking forward to this eclectic home-style dinning with a strong sustainable ethos.
