New years eve dinner. No dedicated parking have to park almost 3 blocks away. Only a few set dinner choices. $85 for two courses only. Appetizers and Prime rip VERY average. parts of it was so raw getting very hard to chew. $20 for kids menu and my kid picked tomato sauce spaghetti. Portion is small and she only took a few bite and would not like to finish it. Servers doesn't look very happy to work today as well.

Definitely not worth the price and I can totally have much luxury experience in downtown Vancouver with the same money spent. I'd NOT recommend this place and I'd NOT come back again.

We arrived at 515pm. We picked a patio table that had a view of the garden. Unfortunately, The roof of the patio section we were seating started to leak. We moved beside the leaky roof. Our appetizers never did arrived until after 30 minutes. The server realized and apologized for the delay. The appetizers arrived at 625pm. We practically devoured the appetizers because we were hungry. I told server that we have tickets for festival of lights at 7pm. At 640 pm our main course arrived. We practically nibbled on our pricey meal and packed the rest to go.

My concerns: I get it a lot restaurants are hurting. The service could have been better. So far, The location and convenience is the only thing making this establishment wonderful for me.

The food : We avoid the fish dishes because it was not fresh at all. We ordered meat dishes as a 2nd option. My daughter had the beef stroganoff and she said it was too salty. We did not want to make fuzz as we are all ready pressed for time.

I would like to try their breakfast or lunch for 2nd opinion. I expect more because I am paying more. The appetizers are delicious, but keep in mind we’re terribly hungry at the time.

Suggestions: I came at a worst time maybe ? But for a restaurant not to be busy? That is bad sign for the restaurant.

Food need to be fresh ? You can’t hide frozen stored fish.

Service could be more organized. The appetizers are delicious: the maple bacon Brussels sprouts, Calamari, and truffle fries are winners.

I find a lot restaurants are cutting costs. But I am hoping this restaurant don’t go to far were the food does not met expectations.

Went there with a group of people.
Attention was ok; portions (main course) were very small so some of us left hungry.
The restaurant itself was very packed with people; waiting time for drinks and food was still ok.

Perfect place for some good food and great atmosphere. Cosy and livley enough to still have a quiet conversation. Good for meals with friends and family. Even for small business dinner. The waiters are all great and fast in explaining the menu and pairing with drinks. It is highly advisable to make reservations. Even though you might get some seats at the bar if no reservtion is done
Which is actually a really good place as the bartender is very attentavive and lovely to talk to.
