Nook

1525 YEW STREET

 

This is one of those cozy, casual, unpretentious-yet-delicious joints that every neighbourhood wants to have. It is an absolute must for dinner after a long day at the beach, or a post-work glass of wine. Located on a busy stretch of Yew Street one block up from Kits beach, Nook serves casual, authentic, Italian food prepared by head chef Kevin Snyder.
