The best dirty martini I ever had in my life and a great service from the chef and the bar tender.

First they gave me the wrong beer, but they gave me a new one when i told them, no problem. Then they gave my pregnant wife a cold cut toast when we ordered the mushroom tart. I said I will eat it, my wife can have the fish that I ordered. The fish came, and it was undercooked. We went to the Flaming Wok at a mall food court after and had better tasting food, faster, for $10, and did not risk any harm to our baby.

Came in for the BOGO cocktails (second the Bee's Knees recommendation from another review) and got curious about the food menu - ended up enjoying a whole meal, which was just delicious! Beef cheeks - sooo flavourful and tender I wanted another one.Mushroom tarts - the pureed mushroom filling is delightful, and topped with a generous amount of sliced mushrooms. Tart could be slightly more crispy in my opinion.But overall, no skimping out on quality ingredients nor portion on these dishes. Finished every bite of everything minus the mac and cheese, because we were too full. Great value for the price - hopefully the menu stays like this!Service is good; I gave five stars because they noticed our bread was over baked, and took it away without us saying anything about it. Gave us a much softer plate so that we could enjoy the butter - so yummy, some kind of smokey flavour butter. Polite, and made us feel that they really wanted us to have a memorable dinner.We tried the dessert too. Butternut squash cheesecake - unique, creamy but not too heavy.Pretty cool space. Easy to miss walking by on the street - glad we checked it out!Parking: $10/2hrs hotel parking

Cute little restaurant downstairs with good ambiance, music and drinks! Food complements the drinks really well. The buy one get one free promo is perfect. Will definitely be back!

It's interesting? In the basement of the old exchange, from the street level there are 2 flights of stairs to navigate, there may be a elevator, but not sure. If you have mobility issues you may want to call ahead to confirm accessibility. Tapas and cocktails. Also stews, pastas, sandwiches, tapenades, tinned seafood and salads. It has a bit of everything, and everyone should be a be to find something here. Bartenders and servers wear scientist coats which is weird, but whatever. Service is is alright, it didn't feel super welcoming, but if you care about nothing other than the cocktails you will be happy. We have been twice to pre-game our dinner reservations elsewhere, both times we got in easy enough and enjoyed ourselves. Yes, I ordered a tinned seafood. Fancy tinned seafood, Sardinas 126 in fact, they were the best tin of sardines I've ever had.

A hidden gem in Vancouver for sure. Absolutely love their cocktails and agree with the comments that these guys do not cheap out on the well made drinks - less sugar and more about the actual drink.
Sadly, we did not have the best experience here. Everything took very long and it wasn't a busy night. Two different servers came and took our orders twice. Then, one of my friends suffered from an allergic reaction to nuts in the chicken dish, but it wasn't listed as one of the menu items and we were not asked if we had any dietary restrictions. The servers were really nice but overall, I would not come back here again.

I just adore this spot. The owner and staff are so welcoming. I hope they get though this pandemic because it is an absolute gem in our city. For those of you who do not know, this is the former Vancouver Stock Exchange, which has a really interesting back story.Also —- try the popcorn. It’s to die for.

Best place for a quick drink and snack in Downtown Vancouver!

What an amazing hidden gem! The service was phenomenal, the food was great, and the drinks were really good as well (and I'm not a fancy drink person). Without any deals the prices are good, but the free pasta deal is out of this world! It is by the far the best value dining experience around I can't wait to go back. It's really a high end looking chic restaurant that's accessible to anyone, which is so rare to find in Vancouver
