“I had the Bangkok bowl with sautéed shrimp and it was fantastic. Happy hour prices from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We hit this at the perfect time. Super friendly and beautiful staff.“

“We had such a great experience at The Tap House, and a huge part of that was because of our server, Claudia! She was absolutely wonderful — friendly, attentive, warm and genuinely made us feel so well taken care of.

She checked in at all the right times without ever making us feel rushed, and her positive personality made the whole experience even better. Great service can completely change a night out, and Claudia definitely made ours memorable.

Thank you, Claudia! We’ll definitely be back and hope to have you as our server again!“

“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!“

“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“

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!“

“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!“

“Excellent food 🩷 Excellent stuff ❤️“

“Came here for a Birthday Happy Hour celebration and truly had a wonderful celebration in spite of some last minute changes. Unfortunately some attendees had cancelled last minute and The Watson graciously changed our table to accommodate the smaller number. The service was outstanding and we felt taken care of yet not in an overly intrusive way. Our waters were filled/replaced before we noticed or asked, we were checked on throughout our time and enjoyed the food we ordered. The drinks were delicious and we are thankful to them for allowing us to bring a cake in! Last but not least we all loved how nostalgic yet classy The Watson looks....we can't wait to return again.“

“Delightful dining experience!“

“Amazing mixed drinks and an…. Eclectic vibe. Just go and take it all in, you will not be disappointed!“

“We were very pleasantly surprised by this place. I had made a mistake with my reservation and the server very kindly accommodated us. The service that followed was even better. We were told happy hour was over at 6pm and we just arrived at 6pm. The service offered us the happy hour menu regardless and this also included 2 pieces of Juke fried chicken per person!! As we had dinner plans we did not have dinner there. At the end of our drinks, we were offered little shots of mandarin cocktail served in little tea cups. My husband and I will most definitely come back again.“

The server knew what kind of cocktails I would enjoy. Just told her my favorite liquor and sweetness level I want. It’s perfect and tasty👌

Amazing place to visit❤“

“Sunday brunch was excellent! The lemon ricotta souffle pancake with blueberries was delicious: airy, light and satisfying! Others at the table enjoyed the pizzas, the chicken Caesar salad and the croissant with honey and blueberries. They were very understanding about our toddler needing to toddle, too!

We were in the patio, which was totally enclosed and very attractively decorated.“

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

“Really fun bar right next to Havanna. They have a sign out front but it can still be a bit easy to miss it.
There are steps up and then down to get to the back where the bar is. It is a totally tropical vibe great for honestly all seasons. Hide from winter or keep with summer.
Their happy hour was great, we tried a couple appetizers and drinks, all was good. Prices on happy hour did NOT disappoint!
Also, definitely cool spot for an event!“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“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.“

“Superb“

“We're big fans of The Alibi room and got a chance to check out the Magnet.
Pros: it's in a more convenient location instead of in rail town
Still great craft beer / drinks list
food is still pretty good

Overall everything is just more expensive even though that's very much expected. We might have gone a few times a year before but now will probably go one time a year or less. Or if we happen to be in the area (not very often).

It's not the bar's fault but overall, that's the way things are.“

“Outstanding restaurant in North Vancouver! Truly awesome food and service! Every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared, and the staff were very attentive and super friendly. Loved their coleslaw and Schnitzel. A truly great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!“

“The best experience we had for afternoon tea at Lounge 1927. Friendly staff welcomed us at the entrance and the server Christie was very attentive, knowledgeable and passionated in serving us and others as well. Food was great and tea as well. We had a happy afternoon tea experience yesterday and would recommend it to others.“

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

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely 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.“

“Decent place to eat. The menu has quite a lot of varieties. The drink menu is also available. But they don't care how loud and how drunk they guests are.
The alcohol cocktails good here though.
Overall good place to eat and drink if you live nearby or come by.“

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.“

“Fun speakeasy “hidden” behind the dumpling shop. Just ask for a number 7 x guests and they’ll let you know when your table is ready.

The drinks are creative with an Asian flair to them. The spot itself is very cool. Love the vibe and atmosphere. Drinks are a bit expensive, but you pay for the atmosphere and being in a speakeasy. They are well made though with creative serving ideas like lights, foam, etc.

Food is not the forte here as their focus is cocktails.“

“Gem of a place… support local businesses“

“absolutely 💯 the food, service, and room are all amazing“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“AI generated images on the menu with different styles on each page…With “Illustrated by Bagheera”…. It is very hard to take the atmosphere seriously when so little effort is put into the menu... Nice drinks and service though!“

“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 👌🏾“

“Nice server he was actually french which is what i liked about this restaurant, (that it was actually french). The atmosphere was great with a pianist playing nice music. The food was great i had the bœif bourguinon and the tartare to start everything was wonderful and left with a full stomach!“

“Highly recommend Wildlight Kitchen + Bar. Chef Warren Chow is one of the best chef's in the city! Whether its a special occassion or just a night out, its a great spot to visit.“

“Great drinks and employees!“

“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.“

“The sizzling chicken tikka was easily the best thing I ate all night after that Texans win. I am clearly the best thing you will order all week though, so a cute guy should just go ahead and say hello. I promise I am worth the conversation.“

“Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to check it off my list! The vibes are great and the space is pretty spacious too. I did a walk-in right when they opened and was able to get a table, but I’d definitely recommend making a reso if you’re planning to go during busier hours. They also seem to switch up the menu here and there, which is always nice!

Definitely not a cheap spot though so just something to keep in mind! But it’s a great place for a first date or a special night out ✨“

“Tasty food and best service ever.Especially service from Crystal.“

“Incredible food, excellent service and welcomed my service dog.“

“If you are jonesing for tacos you gotta try the Baja Shrimp Tacos! So Good!“

“if you're looking for that exclusive feel with a speakeasy vibe, Lala below June is where it's at. the food was incredible - highly recommend the beef tartare - drinks on point. Prices arent for the faint of heart. But worth the quality, attention to detail, and overall service.“

“The food is yummy, the service is great, and a good price.“
