“Our go-to spot for Vietnamese food! We absolutely love the butter beef, pho, spring rolls, and chicken wings — everything is always so fresh and flavorful. We’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

The food is honestly so good that we usually devour it before we even remember to take photos 😅“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“We went there for the first time, and we had a great time. Unfortunately we had to make a lot of last minute changes to our reservation, but the staff was so great about it. Jenny did my booking and was so helpful and informative. I really appreciated how accommodating she was. When we got there, our room was still being used, and the general manager, Vicky, was graciousness enough to offer us a larger room for the price of the small one. We will definitely be coming back here again“

“Impeccable food and service. We went to celebrate my brother's birthday, and the staff could not have been more accommodating, they were welcoming and extra attentive. The bison carpaccio delivered a rich, beefy umami burst. The 20oz Wagyu ribeye centre cut was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavour. The lobster paired beautifully with the risotto, creating a perfect balance. Portions were generous, comfortably enough for three to share.“

“Fantastic new experience Will go back for sure“

“I had a small party of 30 hosted on the mezzanine at the Watson. Service was 10/10, food was great, drinks were great as usual, and everyone had an amazing time. Mike and Sean were easy to work with to coordinate the event, and the price was very reasonable. I strongly recommend the Watson for any future events.“

“most delicious food! the chicken wings are especially tasty!“

“Friendly and welcoming staff. Great drinks which are reasonably priced especially at happy hour which is daily until 6:00. Happy hour drinks all come with two pieces of fried chicken (regular only, and with the first drink only) which is a pretty impressive deal

I like the lighting and overall comfortable environment

I've only been in for happy hour but I've never had to wait that long“

“It's always a great time at Earls regardless if it's the brentwood or station square location, my ultimate 2 fave ones of course! Tried the new Szechuan Shrimp + Pork Dumplings on the HH menu and it did not disappoint! Service in particular with it being valentine's day was still phenomenal! Can't wait to visit again for more good vibes and delicious food!“

“this place was so cute & cozy! drinks were bomb, the place was nicely decorated, clean washrooms, nice atmosphere and amazing live music! service was great as well, very friendly and always checking in! my best friend and i really enjoyed ourselves 🩷“

“We have been there several times always have a great time .“

“Came here for a first date and the guy was a -10/10 (unmatched me on the spot for not stroking his ego lol). But the bar is a total 10/10.
​I was ogling the gorgeous interior and watching the drinks and food passing by rather than focusing on him since he was talking about himself the entire time. The atmosphere and the cocktails are great!
Definitely worth a visit, even if your date is a bust.“

“Sexy and intimate atmosphere, great cocktails & amazing playlist. my favorite bar in Van.“

“Enjoyed happy hour with the family! Great deal with dishes priced around 15–18. I had a Bolognese pasta, and the girls had a crunchy prawn roll and chicken strips with fries. We also ordered a Mediterranean bowl and chicken rings, all very tasty. Friendly atmosphere and excellent service.“

“Was incredible, both my partner and I loved it“

“Thoroughly impressed with the establishment!!! From the moment we stepped in we were welcomed with genuine smiles and batter til the very end where every staff member we interacted with, thanked us and wished us well. I have not had service like this in a very very long time! Kudos to you for hiring such a professional and friendly group. We were equally impressed with each of our menu choices. There were 4 of us enjoying our bday lunch that day. And we each vowed that we would be back even though we don't all live on the North Shore.“

“Super nice food, cozy place and good service“

“Very good ambiance, friendly, and prompt service.“

“A favourite bar in Vancouver for light snacks & aperitifs. Barra 41 is the bar attached to Minerva's Greek restaurant (which has been around forever) and serves the same great quality food from it's kitchen. All the food & beer on tap is good, and you can also order from the restaurant menu. The atmosphere & service of this bar takes Barra the next levrl. Highly recommended and worth the trip to karisdale. Happy hour specials are offered daily from 3 - 5 PM.“

He explained us all the cocktails and techniques they use to make the drinks which made our experience very special. Camel milk clarified drink we would’ve never thought of trying.

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering“

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.“

“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!“

“What a great place to go for a drink.
Big selection of beers. We had a flight of 3 beers from Changing Colors all were delicious. We were suprised the flights were so big, I think they were 14oz.
This place has great atmosphere and vibes and was definitely a highlight of our bar experiences. Will definitely return.“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“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.“
