“I didn’t know this place existed! What a cool find 💎 I stepped into The Foxhole with zero expectations—I was quietly blown away. Dark, art-deco vibes that feel intimate without being heavy. Pretty open space, so our group didn’t feel like we were fighting for room. The bar started out quiet, then filled just enough to buzz without chaos. Cute photo booth. I didn't order food but whatever was going by looked good. The guys snuck away to play on the classic arcade games for a while in the back lolz.

Drinks were clever, balanced, and beautifully served. We tried a bunch of cocktails across the menu. The Charlie Tango drink presentation was show-stopping. Wait times weren’t very long with two bartenders. Aurora was really friendly and helped refill our water. Didn’t talk with her much, but she had a sweet presence. Christian made our drinks and was hilarious—witty, quick to read the room when we needed something. I will definitely be back to debate big foot with him.

Solid sips, thoughtful service, mood on point.“

“We are always n the lookout for something new to us to try out locally. Today we came to @thegroceeycocktailandsocial

I love that my hubby leans into my dietary constraints. Tonight he stuck to the vegan options available - without modifications! He found this place after about 45 minutes of searching locally and a few towns north. Essentially the idea of travel more than we have to was unappealing to me.

Social is a great way to describe the atmosphere - vibe is calm, upbeat, and positive. The staff lean into the vibe with casual clean attire that matches the social vibe.

We opted for the butternut squash curry with ‘shrooms, kale, and a light chopped hazelnuts topping. The heat was close to a 3 that I have expert other locations. It is heat but doesn’t burn. Lips have a slight tingle that feels good!

The curry had large chunks of well cooked squash, plenty of kale, and a few mushrooms. The chopped hazelnuts stayed crunchy until the last drop. And I do mean drop!

We also had the handcut Yukon gold fries - no salt. The plate was filled and they were fresh and HOT! It was hard to get my hands on a few as these are hubbies favorite potato🤣.

They have a good selection of beer on tap, plenty of options for cocktails and mixed drinks of most any type. They also have fresh fruit for drinks which is nice to see. I had an earl grey tea with lemon and honey - deliciousness!

Worth the time and parking fees on the weekend to check this place out!“

“Visiting friends in Portland, they took us here for Breakfast. Loved the ambiance. After a 30-minute wait (we didn't have a reservation), we were finally seated and waited... and waited... and waited, eventually receiving our order after another 45 minutes. Two of three orders were wrong - I had ordered "The standard" - described as "the standard two eggs* with a choice of bacon or Zenner's sausage served with home fries or field greens and choice of toast". Got it with roasted potatoes. The waiter insisted that's how they would always come - but then served extra fries - and, to make up for the wait, comped us with some of the jummy sweet balls they show in their icon image. I found this nice, but also the only appropriate thing to do to save them from a two-star review. Because the server, whom I found uncharmingly stressed at first, really woke up and sped up his game, I would take the experience and try it again when we visit our friends next time. The place itself is very nice, and the food was tasty - and would under other circumstances qualify for four stars or more (if you have read my other reviews, you may remember that I am rather particular with five stars).“

“Amazing meal with my wife and daughter. Perfect food, the filet and ribeye steak skewers (yakitori) were amazing. We only got one order of shrimp yakitori but it was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri added an extra flavor. The service was perfect with regular but not intrusive attention. We ordered too much food with the salad, asparagus, risotto, frog legs and at the end when we were stuffed from the family style feast they brought the final dish we had ordered, a pork belly over mushroom ravioli. I only took a few bites, wishing I could have more room in my stomach. What a feast, I will definitely be back.“

“This was our second time at Shin Sen. The first time, we ate at a table in the restaurant area. This time, we sat at the bar. The bar area is small but has a great ambience. They were very busy which is probably why it took a few minutes to get us water and our first drink. After that, everything was wonderful. Our bartender/server was the same as we had at our first time and she was very friendly and talkative - something we really like in a bartender. Husband had the spicy chicken teriyaki (add veggies) and he loved it. I had the Geisha Roll which was good but not as good as the Vancouver Roll I had the first time. Also, had the seaweed salad which was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this place!“

“WOW - unprecedented customer service! Ordering lunch or dinner for a party or work event? Jersey and her staff SLAY and will come in clutch. This is the type of establishment that you don't find anymore - like Cheers where everyone knows your name - where customer service matters and people actually enjoy what they do.

I am not familiar with the Vancouver area and called this place off a recommendation from a customer. I needed a large order completed on a certain day and at a time that was within a half hour of them opening so wasn't sure they could accommodate me. I called a few weeks in advance and the person who answered the phone took my information down, said she would pass it along to the manager, and to call a couple days before I needed the order and the manager (Jersey) would take care of it. I'm OCD and put it on my calendar to call - Jersey answered and said was just walking back to actually call ME to place the order (oh, and that she was the same and had it on her calendar too). If you bring in food for customers or a large group often you know how often things can or do go wrong, so then you also know just how RARE this is to hear. Showed up after a 3 hour drive, pizzas were done on time and they thought of everything from utensils, etc down to extra dressing for people who like it on their pizza. AMAZING! Thank you Jersey, Topanga (bartender working that morning) and the Uptown team for making my lunch for 40+ people such an amazing and stress free experience!

I already know the pizza is good but I'll be back since I hear the wine selection is top tier with wines sourced from all over that are rare and hard to find.

P.S. Did I mention they also let me borrow warming bags? Topanga actually looked surprised when I brought them back! Haha!“
