“Amazing place to get your head out of the crazy workweek .. Delicious drinks and great appetizers in a lovely inclusive environment.. Jenn, Jan and their staff make you feel at home and take care of you.. just wonderful … I’m not a gin person, but I am now .. best gin and tonic I’ve ever had. Mind blown .. come check it out !“
“I was thoroughly impressed with Medley's Italian & Grill. The quality of their Italian cuisine surpasses others in the area, offering artfully crafted dishes with authentic flavors. Their friendly servers contribute to a warm atmosphere, blending luxury with comfort. Medley's is a highly recommended destination for an outstanding dining experience.“
“Came here multiple times. The great selection of beers loved the salted lime lager, and I also loved the Roja sangria sour. The interior is very cute and lovey. I love the blue. There are some accessibility seating and outside seating. Also, there are some tasty vegetarian food options.Overall, every time I've come here, I've loved this brewery.“
“I sometimes eat at Cactus 3x/week. I love that you can customize any meal to your dietary needs. I have custom made gift cards that I give out to my patients. Keep up the good work! North Vancouver is my favourite location, and Joeh has been my server for decades. He knows how to make your dining experience perfect, and keep you smiling!Dietary restrictions: You can modify any dish to your own personal needs.“
“Empty out your pockets.. this is a robbery. Well I can't get mad at the server or cooks as the amount of ingredients is determined by the management.. so this one's directed to you. I ordered lasagna.. I knew it wasn't advertised to come with sides like salad or garlic bread.. so one would expect to get a portion that reflects that.... with the price they charge. What I got was a lasagna no thicker than the width of my cellphone. Maybe a tablespoon tops of protein (which there is a blend of ground pork and beef.. We all know thats the cheapest protein available at a the grocery store). 4 layers of flat noodle with a light sprinkle of cheese on top This was the sadest excuse of a serving of lasagna I've ever seen in my life.. It's so small they actually serve it on a bread plate to try and give an illusion of a proper serving size .. Well let's just say they aren't magicians. I understand now why the place was practically empty. I actually feel like I've been defrauded..“
“I had a great experience at Hyderabad Biryani House even on a busy Sunday night our order arrived quickly. Taste was great and reminded me of India.Chicken Vijayawada Biryani is highly recommended ?Staff was very friendly and attentive. Kudos to Nandini for great service! Thank you!“
“Absolutely love this place, came here under the recommendation of good people and was not disappointed, dead rabbit was present this evening and knocked it out of the ball park. I love their brand and the servers there are top notch ! I will be back !!“
“This was our first visit to the restaurant. It was a bit chilly, so didn't venture out to the patio so can't comment on that. Inside it was cozy, but the layout was a bit awkwardThe food has very good. We were especially impressed by the Mustard Fish Curry. We did make a mistake, however, in ordering our mo-mo's fried. Next time we'll have the steamed, which seem the best bet by all accounts.Our server was charming and polite. A fellow diner had experience trekking in Nepal and enjoyed a friendly interchange. We look forward to another visit soon.Parking: Davie on a Saturday night is crowded, but the adjacent parking lot had space. It turned out to be crazy expensive but a spot on the street on the next block was cheap - saved $20 or so!“
“Such a cute spot for brunch! Lovely food and presentation. I started with a tequila Caesar and it was so good! I opted for the mushroom and loved it. The crispy oyster mushrooms were so tasty and I loved the sauces. Pricier than expected ($23) but the flavors were on point.“
“I ate at Zarak last night for the first time and I was blown away. Every Single Dish was spectacular!!! The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!“
“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.“
“Just home from our second visit to Addah. Discovered this hidden Gem (in the old Emerald Club space on Gore) through dine out in January. We enjoyed the food so much on the first visit, we had to come back for Valentine's Day. On both visits we had a 5-7 course set menu, and each dish brought bountiful flavour, unique tastes, spicyness and intrigue – we, as yet, have not had a plate we didn't enjoy immensely! Our server Rishna (means always mad - but she's a sweetheart), today, was amazing as well, telling us stories about her village and the food in Nepal. Oh, did I mention the cocktails and wine list, while short, are totally on point! We will be returning often!“
“We went for the set menu and it was amazing for the price. Every dish was spectacular and really showcased what Thai food is all about.Only criticism I have is that the food could have come a little slower so we can enjoy our wine and order more wine with our food. A wine accompaniment would have been nice.Favourite dishes were the oysters, shrimp toast, slow cooked duck curry, Sebastian’s bok choy.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs. 2x“
“Amazing quality, presentation of food, prepared by the best talent in the city. Outstanding service with elegant drinks and cocktails complimentary to the food dish selection on the menu. staff is very friendly. hands down one of the best places in Vancouver to spend a evening.“
“We met some friends here for a meal and the food was really good, I had the Lasagna which was superb, and the pizza was the best we had in Vancouver, the staff were fantastic and even though it was busy, the atmosphere felt intimate. It would be a great place for a romantic meal if that's what you want too.“
“Came here on a rainy afternoon for a few pints.The vibe is really cool - kind of like a grandmas basement, but in a really neat way.Service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.We just stopped in for a few beers, but could definitely come back to try the food.Great little Vancouver spot.“
“It was my first time at this place, and of course I was very curious and with great expectations, as it is Michelin-starred restaurant. The food is definitely worth the rating: each course has a surprising taste, recipes are inventive and I can tell there is research on how to pair the ingredients, in order to create unexpected flavours. I was a bit disappointed by the ambience; it is really tiny, only high chairs are available, and you basically dine elbow-to-elbow with stranger: there would be nothing bad with that, if the price rate was not the same, if not higher, than other similarly rated and much more comfortable restaurants. Watching the cooks preparing the meal was fun, but, once at home, all my clothes smelled of deep fried oil (to be 100% honest, smell was absolutely not an issue during the meal, I only noticed it when going home). For these reasons, I cannot give 5 starts: I am very happy I tried it, but I am not sure I would go again for these prices, given the large choice of high level restaurants in Vancouver.“
“The food, specifically NewYork steak, lobster, baked potato and vegetables, were all amazing and the service was no different. I took my mom there for a nice fancy dinner and neither of us were disappointed at all. The server was very friendly and polite which made for a fantastic dining experience. Without a doubt we will be going back again. Oh ya, and the cheese bread there is a must try, absolutely delicious. Enjoy!“
“God atmosphere, servers were great took a bit of time getting a menu but was early on the evening maybe they were just getting warmed up. Food was extremely tasty and well prepared, everything looked fresh. Greek salad was lacking a little salt, commercial tomatoes just don't have the flavour it needs. Only other comment would be the lamb chops, at $10 a pop minimum $20, as tasty as they were that's just not reasonable price. They were good but not $20 good for 2 small chops“
“We were looking for something local to the area and found The Magnet based in its high reviews. There were no more available reservations so we went when they opened at 4pm and were able to get an open table. There was a Whitecaps game later that evening and the restaurant filled up fast. Got the Magnet Charcuterie Board and a sausage roll along with beers and a cider. Loved the sausage roll: it’s made to order and was very large. Not your usual deli sausage roll. The server was excellent: patient, knew the food, gave suggestions and did not hurry us. Atmosphere was comfortable and the food great. Prices were very good.“
“They treated us like royalty, when I made the reservation I had said it was my wife and I's wedding anniversary and as soon as we arrived they were on top of it, free champagne and very capable and intuitive service. Very friendly and outgoing but not smothering or annoying. They were there when needed but gone when they were not so that I could enjoy a private, romantic evening with the love of my life, the food was delicious and the drinks were perfect , all in all it was a wonderful and memorable night and I would recommend to anyone looking for a top of the line dining experience when it comes to not only grade "A" cuisine ,but service second to none that I have had the pleasure of receiving thus far! Thank you Glowbal ..... Mick & Darlene Ryan“
“This place is fantastic! We had the ocean tasting menu and it was a flavour burst in every course. The best part was the selection of fun cocktails to open the meal. We also opted for a wine pairing to enhance our meal. The service is amazing and the attention to the small details made the evening delightful. A hidden gem for a romantic evening or a quiet night out with amazing food.“
“I visited to decorate the last day of my trip, and it was a choice I had no regrets about. At the bar, I met the nationality-same-person, had fun and interesting conversations with the same guest. The quality of the cocktails was very good, and some gave me a new perspective. Both the classic and signature cocktails were delicious. If you come back to Vancouver one day, you will be the first to visit.“
“My brothers and sisters of the drinkhood, tasters of the spirits, keepers of the libations.. You must stop here and have a drink if you can do so without getting beaten by your spouse/guardian.It's just a small place, but the Old Fashioned we had is at the top of my list in terms of taste and uniqueness. It had notes of chocolate and citrus and was topped with a maraschino cherry that was sooo rich and tasty.The price was reasonable as well, and the staff was friendly. We are so delighted we decided to stop by here on our way to the market. I think everyone should.“
“Delicious time spent on the rooftop for a dinner for my birthday. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is superb, the price is worth the quality. We were lucky to have Shelbey as our waitress and she was INCREDIBLE, she made us have a delicious time and the thoughtfulness with the dessert for my birthday really touched me. She is superb, very caring and full of positive energy! I highly recommend this place, a must to do in Vancouver!“
“Great service and atmosphere. Loved the food we got and how many thoughtful AND delicious vegetarian options. Crispy spring rolls were excellent, okra skewer was a darkhorse and you can never go wrong with a plate of fried noodles. Thanks Anh and Chi!“
“We had a very nice night at Arike. The food was excellent and wines were perfectly paired. Don't sleep on this spot if you want excellent, unique food in Vancouver! The service was also good.Room for improvement:I think the atmosphere is lacking a bit. There is something cold and empty about it (both literally and metaphorically). A heavy velvet curtain to keep the heat in along the large window and a change of lighting may do this place wonders. Also the seating need to be a bit cozier.“
“The server recommended the monster burger, and she pointed to a side plate saying the burger was roughly that size. When it came out she was so exaggerating at all, the burger was massive and came with a soda and fries. The burger was amazing, and also supper adorable roughly 15 bucks for all of it.“
“Recently went for date night and had a great time. I love that the menu has cute drawings of what your drinks look like! Staff are friendly and damn good at their job. Such a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, quite yummy nachos! Would totally recommend going with friends or a date! Definitely going to try the mystery bowl next time!“
“The team at this place has always been awesome and the food is so good.I always get the slam burger and the wings.Also love the fries, taquitos, cookies, churros, and the weekly hot dog options.You honestly cant go wrong with any of the items on the menu.“
“Second time here and was very impressed - better than I remembered.Food 5/5 the crudo and suck carbonara were amazing, my partner also loved the semifreddoAmbiance 5/5 artistic and nostalgic. Clean and beautiful bathroomService 5/5 attentive and niceReturn likelihood 5/5“
“If you're looking for a place to enjoy the perfect gin in Vancouver, then look no further than this local gin bar. This hidden gem is a must-visit for gin lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. But it's not just the drinks that are amazing. The service is impeccable, Ross and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have a wonderful experience, and it's clear that they truly care about their customers.“
“Loved the atmosphere, service, drinks, and oysters. Oysters were served with cucumber puree-like things, which was super refreshing. Drinks were great with lots of options. The salad we ordered came with chunks of lobsters. Yum. Overall, I recommend to come and enjoy your life at this bar.“
“perhaps it was the awesome weather, the wonderful company and most def the high ceilings - the watson is def going to be highlight for me for 2024. foodie trio again, and s and i arrived early - we were able to catch the last bits of hh! the decor is modern yet retro - i see that they were channeling dr. watson vibes at the bar area, and the upstairs area is quaint - perfect for a small gathering/party! we were seated right away, and our server, leo (i snagged the name frm my receipt LOL) was VERY attentive. he assisted us with the menu, recommendations, washroom directions - you name it! he was a delight to have! s and i started with some hh nibbles - the whipped burrata and prosciutto. the house focaccia was charred nicely with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. i found the burrata to be on the saltier side but s loves cheese so who am i to complain! the bomba tho - the antipasto that could! it added a nice kick to the dish - not too much cuz s can't handle too much spice - and it was so good that we kept the little dish of it to munch on thruout the night. for drinks, s had the house red and i had the twisted revolver. the twisted revolver was boozy yet there was a nice hint of cinnamon and musty/wood aftertaste. by the time we finished the burrata, a arrived and there was a last call for hh - s and i fumbled and ordered a pencillin for her plus the duck wings. a said the pencillin, with its ginger foam, reminded her of ginger beer/moscow mule - two of her favs. the duck wings were saucy and delish - a and i are used to having the duck wings in a more chinese fashion, and the watson's spin is with gochujang - korean chili paste - which was a nice change to our palate. we then went from 0 to 10 with our ordering - we ordered the harissa carrots, wild mushroom toast, shishito peppers and the roast 1/2 chicken. i ordered my 2nd drink as well - the royal tea, which reminded me of a spiked ribena bubble tea due to the cassis caviar. i did have another refreshing french 75 with the fords dry gin - i was determined to have all the gin on the list (there were only 2 that i havent tried) but alas, the sipsmith gin was not available for my tasting ): now the food! the small plates are def enough to share btwn the 3 of us. we had the shishito peppers and wild mushroom toast arrive first. the shishito peppers were charred nicely and the romesco added another level of heat to the dish - s found some of the peppers to be too spicy but a and i loved it. we kept the romesco on the table - we have a thing for sauces/dips ok?! the wild mushroom toast was OVERLOADED with mushrooms - def a brunch dish but we devoured it anyway! the white wine and fine herbs that went into the mushroom mixture made the concoction that much more flavourful. the house sourdough held its own for the base of the dish - it did not get too soggy nor did it fall apart! onwards to the harissa carrots and roast chicken. we added feta to the carrots, and honestly, i personally like carrots but im sure this dish will make anyone that hates them love them again! the hummus, yogurt, za'atar and pomegranate - it creates a wonderful symphony of flavours in your mouth. the carrots were roasted nicely - caramelized surface but the crunch was still there. it complement the roast chicken VERY nicely. the roast chicken was juicy and tender, the mediterranean vegetables and tomatoes - you need to have the spice yogurt! we were thoroughly stuffed by the end of it, and we're looking forward to coming again to check out the other dishes/drinks!“
“Beautiful place, we had a girls get together. Lovely winter ambience . Good food, yummy I should say. We sat in dome, lovely place to be with girls. Good place to be with family too… their dessert were too good….Need to visit one more time to experience spring ambienceParking: We got reserved parking“
“Located at the top of Burnaby Mountain, I believe they were recently rebranded/renovated. They offer a very reasonably priced $40 for 3 courses or $65 for 5 courses. The website does mention they only take reservations so do be mindful of that! They had a la carte available at the time as well, but the value is way better with the set menus.We tried the 5 courses (Starter + Sushi Roll (4pc) + Soup OR Salad + Entree + Dessert) as a part of Dine Out Vancouver this year but it seems they have extended their offering for the next little while. Inside is dimly lit giving a romantic vibe!We went as a group of 4 and this is what we tried:Starters: Ahi Tuna Tartare, Hamachi CarpaccioSushi Roll: Salmon Roll (sockeye salmon, cucumber, avocado), Crab Roll (fresh crab, avocado, cucumber)Soup: Lobster Bisque (with lobster chunks and garlic toast.. mmm)Entree: Surf & Turf (8oz NY Steak with choice of 3oz lobster tail or 2 scallops), Miso-Glazed Sable FishDessert: Chocolate Souffle with vanilla bean gelato and fresh berriesDrinks: Recommend the Shanghai Fizz (2oz - $15) - gin, lychee liqueur, pineapple juice, ginger ale. They also had a good variety of mocktails as well.The seafood in the starters/sushi rolls were good quality and fresh tasting. Portions were very very generous, and everything was tastier than I expected! The presentation was lovely. Even just the Surf & Turf itself would be charged for much more at similar establishments. I would definitely return for a special occasion/date night!“
“Tara and Alexis were so professional and patient.Had my wife and in-laws out for the NBA playoffs and they were not phased by all the hoops and hurdles my inlaws were throwing at them. I’m talking “hot water with lemon, scissors to cut the portions down to smaller pieces, and plethora of other demands.Food was phenomenal and the service was even better.Highly recommend for any special events or just a night to watch the game!Cactus is doing something right with the exceptional service and overall experience! 10/10!!“
“We went for a birthday dinner and we were treated like royalty! We were greeted with champagne, and every menu option was outstanding:) It was hard to decide AND the cocktail menu was superb. The Dine Out Vancouver menu was fantastic, we had beef tartare, wild boar, duck, chicken, chocolate mousse cake and a personalized birthday creme brulée. Many items were on the house and we've already booked to come back at the end of the month with our parents! Run, don't walk, to Alouette! C'était super!! Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤“
“I brought my mom to Published on Main on a mother-daughter night out. The food was amazingly delicious, and service top-notch. We had a memorable night together sharing love and a wonderful culinary experience. Will definitely return for more!“
“My mother and I are good friends with the owner of the restaurant. We decided to support her local business in the community. Our family was a big group and we managed to all fit in including our four family dogs. No reservations are accepted as we had to arrive a little earlier for our family group to be accommodated. Our family enjoyed dining out on the patio. Our water glasses were always filled, except our supper came later for four patrons as the other part of the group were almost finished. Overall the wait staff service was smooth and efficient. The prices seemed affordable for Thai cuisine. All payments were made on time and we would all return in the future to dine there. The restaurant is small with only two washrooms.“
“Love this place. Lived literally across the street for so many years and been here so many times on the patio with beers ? and we love their Seafood club sandwich and dirty fries ? omg!! I’ll grab pics next time as it’s our favourite in the area and have ordered it at least 10 times. Thanks guys!! Great place to go “
“I’ve been eyeing this place for a while, since I’ve seen the reviews and love a good board - it definitely didn’t disappoint.The food was excellent - the boards very nicely put together and everything tasted great. We ordered 4 boards from the happy hour menu and the portion sizes were generous (ie we ordered too much).Service was also really good - Gorden was our host, server, and bartender, and he was excellent! He provided recommendations and suggestions, was attentive throughout our meal, and threw out a few jokes, too!Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!“
“I liked the atmosphere and the decorations. Very nice and cozy. Long and interesting selection of cocktails. The food wasn't the best! I ordered the burger, and I wasn't impressed. The lobster mac and cheese was tasty but so heavy. I think it had too much cream, I couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wasn't a fan of the food!“
Sports Bar •
“It's a pub....yet they serve Ramen, Fish tacos and Fried Chicken! The chicken is extra crispy and delicious ? ?. Price is a bit on the high side, but at least try it once. Came here for lunch with 3 other friends and we were all pleased with our meal.“
“One of the best restaurants that I truly enjoyed in Vancouver. The staff were friendly, drinks and food were amazing, very tasty and very creative. I enjoyed every bite of my food. We ordered few items to try and every dish was better than the other. Perfect quality!“
“Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, super friendly staff. I had the Buffalo Tar tar this evening, and a salmon dish. Very ? good. This pic I posted is the Tar Tar I started eating. I don't normally take photos. But it was so good I had to share.“
“First trying this place. First impressions were it was clean, nice decor. Friendly greeting. I tried the veggie snitzel. It was really tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. The black forest cake was good. I wasn't a fan of the ceasar salad dressing. Service was a bit slow as there was only one server. All around first experience. I would go again.“
“Had a great time at Mum’s The Word Open Mic in Toronto. It’s a free space for art thrive (singing, story telling, stand-up comedy, whatever talents you have). Fun place, friendly people, cozy, great service, awesome beverages. Totally recommend it!“
“I’ll be very honest.The food was a 6.5/10Tyree was the man serving us. He made the experience. He was sweet, kind and fun and is deserving of a better position. He knows how to make people feel comfortable and have a good time with them. Please have him as an example for every server to exist in the world. He’s great at his job, please let him know.P.S. It was impossible to guess his name“
“The service here was outstanding. It isn’t a huge space but it’s comfy and inviting inside. The food was very good. Their menu is not overwhelming which helps with decision fatigue. We got shareable plates between four people. We ordered the mac and cheese, the bratwurst / lemon herb chicken sausage, fries and mashed potatoes. Portions are decent and definitely shareable. I also recommend their pineapple beer if it’s still available mmmm. Will be back.“
