“I've walked by this place numerous times and there was always a line out the door with a 45+ minute wait.I should've bought a lottery ticket this morning because there wasn't a line and I was seated immediately. About 5 minutes after being seated, the crowd arrived and the line out the door was more than 20 people long.The staff was nice, friendly and very professional.Though everyone says to order their waffles, I opted for the Sandwich au Roti de Boeuf (braised short ribs sandwich). The braised ribs, arugula and sunny side up egg were like a symphony of flavor.Their mocha is rich, smooth and creamy, exactly what you'd expect when using beans from 49th Parallel Coffee.Definitely recommend.“
“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“
“The food was some of the most impressive I've had in Vancouver. The scallop dish, beef tartare, and the winter salad were fantastic. Wish the oysters didn't have little pieces of shell in it and the service could've been a smidge more attentive, but no big complaints. Will be back!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This spot has been on my list for a long while and I was lucky to try it out with some friends! The drinks were good but not mind-blowing? I was a little surprised. We got a few snacks but none of the cooked food so I can't speak to that. It does have an intimate vibe with little tea lights and dim lighting so it's a good spot if you're looking for something like that!“
“Deceptively delicious! The ambient lighting doesn't do the plates justice. But the tastes that tickle the palate are a swirling kaleidoscope of culinary adventures that bewilderingly bewitches the diner. Service was unobtrusively attentive.“
“Amazing experience. We’ve been to Impostori 5-6 times. Each time the food & service is top notch. The atmosphere is not old style Italian, I feel like I’m in a cool resto/bar in Milano or Firenze. We often try the daily specials and have never been disappointed. Sometimes i want to keep this place a secret so that I can always get a table, but that wouldn't be fair to Vancouverites.“
“Wildlight is spectacular!! The chowder is the best I have ever had. It was the most amazing dinning experience. The appetizers, mains, specials, deserts - it’s a taste bud explosion of perfection. Love it and recommend anyone who loves fine food with a creative and delicious flare go to WILDLIGHT. The staff are both informative and attentive. Way to go!!“
“Christian was the gentleman that serviced my friend and I for a birthday celebration. He was very professional and made us feel at home. We were also not rushed and therefore enjoyed our dining experience. The food was authentic, and the atmosphere reminded me of my time in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much Il Nido and Christian!“
“I've been here a couple times now and I'm always impressed. The food is fabulous, the service is great and the restaurant itself is so beautiful. I love how I've never felt like I've been rushed out of there and am given the time to enjoy the food and the company I'm with.“
“I went to the Cider House for the ciders...wasn't too sure how I would feel about the vegan menu! But oh my goodness, the food was incredible! I shared the guac and chips, oyster mushroom calamari and the nachos and everything was amazing! The ciders were so cool too and the wait staff was incredibly helpful at describing the various ciders and what to expect from them. It had a great vibe for a dinner with girlfriends and I can not wait to take my Texan husband in to show him how amazing vegan food can taste! 100% recommend this place!“
“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!“
“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.“
“I came to eat here for my birthday. I like the decoration, the place is very charming. But I didn’t reserve a place in the garden because of a wedding that day. The welcome is warm, the dishes are delicate and delicious. I will definitely come back to it.“
“We are a party of 4 and tried the chef's menu for dinner. There were 3 appetizers, 3 main courses, and 1 dessert. It's served family style. Everyone liked the octopus dish because it was very well done and soft. However, we found all the food a bit too salty, except for the dessert. Portion was good for 4 people.Parking: There's free 2 hours on the street. If you're unlucky, there's a paid lot close by.“
“What a gem ?! They take so much care making the food, you can tell by looking at it and once you try it, you're in love! I went there for a quick lunch, Yanis offered excellent service. The ambiance is beautiful, there are natural flowers on every table, the decor is tasteful, the place is very clean. I will be back for dinner with my partner soon, this is my new favorite Greek place!“
“Rude server - My wife's first experience going out after giving birth. The male server peaked over her shoulder while she paid and made a rude comment when he saw she tipped 'only' 15% on a $20 cocktail. Completely ruined her night. Train your staff better.“
“OMG... I have nothing but praise for this amazing restaurant...Service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive, appetizers were excellent, interesting flavours, main courses were excellent, subtle and delicious, dessert was excellent, all ingredients were over the top fresh, plating exquisite, ambience was perfect... good music- but not too loud, so conversation is possible...an exceptional evening...Thank you, thank you...... I highly recommend this restaurant to others.“
“I live near this wine bar, so I've passed it a gazillion times over the past 4-5 years, always meaning to try it out. They've a lovely patio facing the seawall, and especially in the summer, it looks so inviting, and patrons often bring their dogs, and I just love the whole vibe. In the winter, too, it always looks like people are enjoying themselves here, with the warm lighting and twinkling lights. Since this wine bar is attached to the restaurant Provence, I've often passed here and heard live jazz musicians and singers who perform certain nights of the week, and man, they sound GOOD. It just always felt like this would be a super place to mellow out, have a glass of good wine, relax with friends, either on a summer day or at night, any season. I finally got to check it out in person today. I went with a friend for a drink mid-day, sitting outside. The weather was lovely, and it was a perfect day. Carmen was our server and she was great. I appreciated how knowledgable she was regarding all the wine and cocktail selections. My friend had a glass of white wine which she loved, and I had an amazing cocktail with lavender and rose. They have a decent happy hour selection which, unfortunately, we were too early to partake of. Their regular wine menu is extremely extensive. What a great neighborhood place! Will definitely return.“
“Awesome atmosphere and service at this lovely restaurant. Had the tasting menu that provided 9 family style dishes and it was well prepared and unique. Was hoping to see some of the dishes on the a la carte served but nonetheless it was tasty food and drinks!“
“The best & most unique dining experience I’ve had in Vancouver in a very long time. Delicious food, excellent service and such a great atmosphere. My partner and I both went for the cheese & charcuterie and were struggling to speak to each other as every bite was so amazing! Every food item has a story behind it and our server was so knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend coming here to anyone visiting from out of town or anyone living in Vancouver for a cosy date night. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Such an amazing venue!We celebrated my boyfriend’s 30th Halloween bday bash and everyone had a blast. From booking the venue to the service on the day of, it was smooth and easy. We had about 50 guests and everyone had nothing but good things to say. The server and bartender were so professional and fun. Will definitely book this venue again in the future.“
“*UpdatePork & sable dishes presented so perfectly that it seemed impossible that they could please the pallett as much as they did the eye, however, they did.Still the timing issue though.OriginalStarted the visit meeting a server we've had in other restaurants, Patrick, fantastic guy.Beginning our meal with scallops prepared in a different way then we are accustomed to was great.Followed with sable fish and seafood risotto mains.All were good, however presented at different times.When two people are out for dinner, it is expected chef will orchestrate coordinated delivery.Room is nice, but very LOUD.“
“Love the location, super cozy feeling upon entry! Super friendly staff. We ordered quite a few dishes to try between 3 adults and 1 child. We had burrata overload but who doesn't love some good burrata?!?Our personal favourite between the four pastas we ordered was the SPAGHETTI AMALFI ! We really enjoyed the squid ink pasta, the burrata just added extra OOMPH!We were really excited for the PAPPARDELLE “ROCHE ROCHE” but the spaghetti Amalfi really stole the show. I personally thought the pappardelle tasted OK maybe would be a bit better with a spicy sausage/sauce?All the pastas were cooked al dente, which was very nice.We thought the SPAGHETTI CARBONARA was alright and the BEEF RAVIOLI was underwhelming.Which was a bit surprising considering those were the two suggestioned from our server.However the bottle of red wine she suggested was lovely.Personally did not like the tiramisu but I think it's just personal preference on texture!Overall, the experience was good. Would definitely come back and sit at their cute patio!Kid-friendliness: Big comfy cushions, kid friendly!“
“Forgot to take photos of the piadina, and amatriciana rigatoni but they were both delicious. Actually everyone was really happy with their meals. Best done family style here, and then you also get to try a bit of everything. Easy to share items in a multi-course fashion. Service was top notch in terms of friendliness, topping up drinks & water, prompt refreshing of plates and utensils, and making you feel comfortable during the dining experience. This is a place were you’re expected to take your time to enjoy the meal and company around the table. Loved it here.Kid-friendliness: No kid menu, but my 7 year old loves the pasta choices!“
“My recent dining experience at Autostrada was nothing short of exceptional. This restaurant truly excels in crafting exquisite pasta creations that tantalize the taste buds. I had the pleasure of trying the [specific dish] during my visit, and I was amazed by the depth of flavors and the perfect al dente texture of the pasta.Autostrada's sophisticated yet inviting ambiance sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff and impeccable service added to the overall enjoyment of my meal. I appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience.For pasta enthusiasts looking for a top-tier culinary adventure, Autostrada is a must-visit destination. I left the restaurant thoroughly impressed and eager to return to savor more of their delectable offerings.Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Great Spanish Catalan inspired tapas. Everything we tried was fantastic, from the clams to the charcuterie boards to the wines. Fantastic service, including having the owner Phillip and head chef Antonio stop by to check on our experience. We loved the atmosphere, it transported us back to a time in Spain enjoying the culture, music and heart and soul food.“
“Very high quality and authentic Thai food. Highly recommend their dish Pad Kee Mao, perfect balance of spicy and sweet and you can taste the freshness of basil leaves and the green pepper is actually flavorful and spicy, not like the bell pepper you buy in the store. About 20 dollar a dish, which is not expensive considering the amount of veggies and meat they put in your dish and the portion is very filling. Will definitely come back in the future.“
“Indochine Kitchen is a wonderful destination for those seeking a taste of Southeast Asia in a cozy and inviting setting. Whether you're a seasoned lover of Asian cuisine or new to these exotic flavors, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression. It's a place where you can savor the essence of Southeast Asia without leaving the city, and it's definitely worth a visit.“
“Went for some drip coffee. The coffee was okay. I Had a turkey panini. It was just a normal panini sandwich but perfectly hot and tasty. I like the amount of turkey they had in it.I find it a little bit pricey.I should try the bar next time.“
“Had a fabulous birthday dinner here last night. The food was delicious, really enjoyed the Buratta and prosciutto to start, then the seafood Linguini, followed by the caramel tart, it was amazing. Great wine list too. What made it extra special was the delightful service, warm, inviting, knowledgeable. A special experience. Will definitely be back!“
“We used to drive by the restaurant everyday and finally decided to try it! Best decision we could’ve made, food was to die for, service was absolutely amazing with the host checking up on us and sharing the history of the restaurant and the atmosphere really takes you to an Italian dream!“
“This spot serves breakfast from 8am until 2pm. Tucked underneath the Moda Hotel breakfast is available not only to the guest but is also open to the public. While the menu consists of only a handful of items, the items offered caters to all dietary needs and tastes. The food came out fast. Everything tasted fresh and the presentation was fantastic. The pancakes were Soo fluffy it was amazing! Hats off to the chef and our server. We definitely went back up to our suite with food coma! Highly recommend.Great job guys!!“
“Had a fantastic experience at Frankie's Italian Vancouver. Contacted them prior to making reservation about garlic allergy given that it's an Italian restaurant. So impressed at their professionalism and willingness to accommodate. The Chef made a special pasta dish and sauce without garlic. Also best gluten-free gnocchi ever! 5* Highly recommend this establishment. Will definitely return.Dietary restrictions: Took allergy concerns seriously. Very accommodating. Recommend contacting ahead of time if possible.“
“We went for the food, not for the bar; however, the bar and cocktails are famous. Their signature salad was super refreshing with a delicious dressing. The waffle sweet potatoes were absolutely crunchy and tasty. The sliders’ meat was so juicy, and the bun was good“
“The tasting platter let's you try a variety of different cuts of meat for the price and definitely recommend trying if you don't have any particular cut you want to go for. Biggest recommendations is 100% to get the wagyu oil rice which was super flavorful.“
“quiet yummy lunch on a late saturady afternoon....relaxing Vietnamese style. We went there for a late saturday lunch (almost 3pm) and there were still a few customers. Tables very spaciously arranged (probably still from the COVID times) so customers can appreciate the traditional cultural decor while we enjoy a delicious meal.We shared between the two of us a beef pho, a papaya salad and spring rolls. The broth was so geniune and the salad so fresh. This tasty meal was completed with two drip vietnamese coffees.What more to ask for to spend a relaxing quiet saturday afternoon“
“OMG! Their ‘don’t be a yerk pizza’ is amazing! The perfect level of sweet and spice! My husband and I are huge spice fans and we loved this Detroit style pizza. Will be coming again for sure. Their cocktails and beer options are amazing as well.“
“Pizza's were quite good, would say 8/10 with 10/10 being a pizza handmade in Rome. Wine was tasty, waiter was friendly, would recommend coming here. Only complaint was the espresso was pretty terrible, they could upgrade their bean selection.“
“This bistro is a great place to have some drinks and share a plate of something to nibble at. If you are relaxed and not in a rush and have time to enjoy the atmosphere that is super cozy then this place is for you . The service is relaxed and laid back but really good I find . I love sitting at the bar as well on my own to enjoy a glass of wine after a long day at work. They always have some vegetarian options that are great on the menu as well.Vegetarian options: They switch their menu but always have a few options I find if your vegetarian that are really good.“
“This place is so cute! And they have amazing deals at lunchtime.You can get a salad and a soup to start, plus a pizza, pasta, or risotto as the main for 24-27$A bread basket with oil and vinegar is also included.Everything was tasty and the portions were big.PS: Ask them about the card stuck to the ceiling :D“
“UPDATE: I connected with Miranda over the past weekend, where she gave me the closure that I wanted. While I'd rather not go into full detail about what closure she gave me, that's enough to get me to return voluntarily. And in cases where I'm hanging out with friends, not do the bare minimum of ordering water or a basic soda.-----------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW:Came here for a happy hour with about 11 other people that doubled as a birthday party.Tater tots taste like something I can air fry at home on my own. The strawberry lychee burst looks better than it tastes, as both the tea and lychee flavours are non-existent. You can get better tasting tea sodas at a bubble tea place. You also get more for the same price!Service is iffy. The server was quick to take our order for me and a friend who showed up early, and get that to us ASAP. But she seems to lack the sense of urgency after the other 9 people gradually showed up. I noticed that she would take others' plates, but would ignore my empty tater tot and drink cups. She didn't ask me how everything was tasting. She also didn't bring plates and forks for the birthday cake until it was too late (and even so, they were on hot plates which is a no-no for desserts). But she has time to chat with the bartenders and other patrons???(Meanwhile, the bussers and management were great at filling water.)What irritates me was how the server tacked on a 20% service fee, which isn't on the restaurant website nor explained to us at the start. This is _not_ service worth a 20% tip. Maybe at best, 7-9% (enough to cover tip-out), but not 20%.Very unlikely that I'd return back on my own anytime. Or if I'm dragged here for a social event, just get a water or soda.“
“Loved this place! The food was super creative and exceptional. We had the tasting menu and it was a mix of flavors and textures.The service is amazing, perfect timing between courses and the environment is super cozy and inviting.I would definitely come again!“
