We went last night for my husband's birthday. They didn't have half of the menu content . It was the last night of their business and didn't even mentioned to people that they run out of most of things . The salmon I had was so basic and boiled with no vegetables sides despite mentioned in the menu and same price .my husband ordered burger and the beef patty was gross and seems that they even bother to buy fresh ingredients. It was absolutely unfair . Don't recommend at all .

Came here for Dine out Vancouver. It's a cozy spot with a friendly atmosphere. The appetizer spring rolls were exceptional. Main courses were good but nothing special. The desserts were good - we both laughed when they came out though. The poached pear was literally ONE thin slice of pear on a large plate. Luckily I wasn't hungry by then so it was perfect but I've never seen such tiny desserts before. It was good though and I'd definitely like to go back when it's not dine out and try some of their other dishes.

Took 45 minutes to get our appetizers, half of it was missing. Had to wait an additional hour for our mains, and my wife's main was wrong had to be sent back. Both our meals were cold, and service was terrible!!

Not enough share plates, and the crab pepper dip was a gooey mess. Server was attentive and made good drink recommendations but forgot to put in the order for our mains, so that took a long time. Overall, menu needs a refresh and they need to up their game, it's a good, well located space, should be every bit as busy as Earls Ambleside

The food was amazing, the Camembert appetizer was 12/10, you have to order it. The lady who serves us was phenomenal. She was super helpful with her suggestions and just overall had the best energy. I would 100% go again. It gave me “Swiss chalet après ski vibes” and I loved it.

Food is fine but we won't be going back. The last 3 times, the service is just so slow. It took 45 mins to get our drinks last night. They always say they are short staffed but the place was maybe 1/4 busy. No excuse for that. Hire more people and pay them to help with the service.

Have eaten here often and recommended it to many friends, but was very disappointed last night. Brought a friend for a Christmas outing and many items were not available or “sold out “. (at 5 pm at night???) The waitress was excellent and gave us her undivided attention. Thank you for that?

Well, they tried. But they didn't know that half their restaurant would be full. I don't know - if you can't manage the kitchen with a half full restaurant there are more problems than meets the eye. There are may be 15 tables here. The chef took an hour and a half to prepare 3 burgers and a steak. All of them were overcooked. The burgers had no sauces, no extras. The fries were crispy and tasty though. The chimmichuri sauce for the chewy steak was mostly garlic, so not well balanced with the other ingredients. The server avoided us after 45 minutes of waiting for the food. That's a talent in a small restaurant. Then the manager provided a caesar salad for two to split amongst 4 people. It came without dressing and was meant to appease the hunger pangs. I don't like writing negative reviews. But perhaps this might be a wake up call that the business needs some deeper attention.

One of our favourite places!! Love taking my daughters on dates here. The server had the coolest glasses and we all thought she was so nice and was a world class server l. The food is 11/10. My girls LOVE the max and cheese. But everything had been wow so far!

The server was alone, however, she would have saved a lot of time if she wrote down the order. She forgot one Oder and it took 3 requests to get ice for a drink. She did apologize and i do understand there is a labour shortage but for a high end restaurant and with inflation prices, the service should be stellar.
Came here for brunch and it was quite good. I opted to get the chicken burger on a lettuce bun (they do offer gluten free) and the truffle fries. The fries were cold and soggy; slightly a disappointment but the burger was great. My partner got the brunch bowl which was really tasty-I would get this again!

I ordered the Classic Benny and it came quite raw and the sauce was not Hollandaise but some kind of runny yolk mess. I ate some of it and knew this would not end well although my friend ordered a BLT which he said was just ok.

So I have been to this restaurant over the years and always had a couple of dishes that I would go back for and found a lot of the other dishes just ok. I went to feast twice this month. Once with family and once by myself for a quick bite. Both times were quite dreadful. When it was the family meal we had dry small portions of fish that were not very tasty. The mussels were alright. The time by myself I had seafood soup and fish and chips. Not one piece of sea food was in the chowder. Not one. I complained and was told they would give me 3$ off of my food bill. We used to come for the fish chowder but have now stopped as there is no seafood in the bowl. Never again

Good service and food. The Mac and Cheese was yummy as well as the burger and chowder. I enjoyed the white sangria. If you have dessert I'd recommend the mini donuts over the cheesecake.

The food was excellent, they had a good draft on tap and our server Aidan was attentive. BUT! they were out of the curry mussels and only had one order of the French so one of our party had to go without. And the portion of mussels was rather small. One other comment was that the Caesar salads while delicious were not shredded enough so in order to eat we had to cut the lettuce up.
