Great place to try out when in Vancouver. The experience is excellent and the food is fantastic. The Bella Coola soda is a must-order. It is deliciously fruity with an underlying herbal note. The soapberry foam on top further adds a sophisticated texture to the already distinctive drink. The salmon sampler is a delightful combination of flavours. The salmon mousse is light and fluffy, the candied salmon sweet, and salmon ceviche is very fresh with a satisfying dill flavour. However, each portion alone falls short of having truly complex flavour unless paired with the crunchy bannock chips - my favourite part of the dish. The bison pot roast is - contrary to my expectations - super tender and mellow. This is my first time trying out bison, and it is very good.The mashed potatoes are soft, fluffy, and pair excellently with the rich gravy. The roasted peppers and cauliflowers exist, but they are outshone by the bison to the point that I forgot I ate them. Portions appear small, yet I ended up so full that I skipped dessert. The owner is a super friendly lady with a ton of stories. Definitely not a cheap place, but one worth visiting.

We had dinner there on the weekend. It was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, the decorations truly unique and the staff was amazing. We shared the game sampler, the salmon sampler and the game sausage for starters. All were fantastic, but the sausage, salmon mousse, and candied salmon were truly amazing. We especially liked the fact that local berries were part of every dish. We had the bison pot roast and the smoked sablefish, and both were excellent. I was very happy to support a truly unique Indigenous business that was well worth the price. The only negative was that the wine list was very limited. I would have liked to see a bit more of a selection. We will definitely go back again, next time reserving farther ahead.

Love this place! Went back in February just to try it out and had booked a reservation for March before even leaving the restaurant. The bison pot roast is to die for and the candied salmon is fantastic (and I’m not typically a fish person at all). Cozy atmosphere to hole up for a delicious meal on a date or with friends. Very friendly servers too and a good wine selection.

Do yourself a favor a go. The array of dishes is top notch. I loved the Fiss n Rice and the cake at the end was excellent as well. Be sure to get reservations as the restaurant was understandably packed by the time we left.

We came here without expectations and were blown away. The staff was incredibly warm. We ordered the mushroom starter, smoked sablefish, wild game sausage, and upside-down berry cake for dessert. Everything was outstanding, will come back!!
Bison gravy is amazing. The bread has excellent texture and a very homemade feel. Cheesecake came in a smallish portion, but it was beyond delicious.

Ah, only three stars. Sry friends. To preface, we did not have a reservation, and didnt realize it was Dineout. Note, the $60 dine-out option is the only option over the festival season. As well, The server/host apologized to us following the meals which I thought was very nice considering the slower service.The reason for 3 stars: we waited around an hour for our appetizers (shepherds pie) which were quite small. The following entree was another good while afterwards, an elk steak medallion and some roasted veggies. Also, not massive portions, but no big deal. Lastly, the dessert came out. It was decent icecream and bread pudding, but upon this service we were told that we had ten minutes left before the next reso. At this point we had been sitting for over two hours. Think I couldve eaten everything well before this point, but to be told this and having waited so long was a bit annoying. Unfortunately, I dont think i would do the dine out here again. That said, I understand the restaurant busniz is tough, and it was an early start for them. Perhaps there was more behind the scenes than we were aware of.
