I guess they chose not to use my suggested name for the restaurant: Smells Like Queen Spirit.

Very little seating. Maybe relying on takeout.
Swiss Bistro was one of my favourites on the island. it will be missed.

They have expanded outdoor onto a small terrace, probably seats 10/12 ?

Is it just me or does the word aroma have a bit of a negative connotation to it?
The official definition leans more towards a pleasant smell but...
Full disclosure: I used to work around a "natural" man who didn't believe in anti-perspirant... everyone called him Tony Aroma. Since then aroma has always meant a bad smell to me.... like the aroma of a rendering plant... or the aroma of a waste-water treatment facility... or the aroma of dog crap in the spring when the winter's snow melts... or the aroma of marijuana EVERYWHERE now....

I associate the same negative feeling with it. I wonder if the word "aroma" is similar to a Hindi word though, because I have seen it used in Indian restaurants all over the place. London, Toronto, New Zealand... there's even one in Port Moody.
Unrelated to India, but I also remember walking past a Hotel Aroma in Kuala Lumpur...

When it comes to unwashed people I prefer "bouquet".
