The restaurant is located in the 100 year old Frontenac Building. Over the years, the building has housed many different businesses, including second hand stores, a barbershop, and even a dancehall and speakeasy. This speakeasy is part of what brings a charm to this dining establishment. Employees and guests have reported feeling and seeing a presence that could best be described as a ghost. Legend has it that during the days of the speakeasy, there was a young showgirl named Amelia, whom eventually married the owner of the business. They had a daughter, Ginger, whom Amelia cherished. When Ginger went against her fathers wishes, and dated a young man, that was believed to have underworld connections, Papa arranged for a hit on the suitor.
