    Our server was great. He was friendy & efficient. However, we did find our food a little on the salty side, but that could just be our taste bud. Otherwise, everything wa fine. Cheers.

    My girlfriend and I dined here for Valentine’s Day in 2025. The food was good and the waiter, Luke, was very helpful and kind as well. Would come back. I’ve dined at the rec room at Brentwood as well and both occasions have been consistently pleasant.

    Nice dining experience and the dishes are creative. Noteworthy for me is the lamb skewers cooked to perfection , crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the XO risotto, the umami of the XO sauce nicely complements the richness the risotto. However, the steak fell short for me. Although it was grilled on both sides, the steak was cold. I like my steaks medium-rare but this steak felt like a rare.

    My wife and I sat at the bar and was served by Andrew, and all I have to say is WOW. The service was impeccable, the drinks were amazing, and the food was out of this world. We've been to a handful of nice restaurants but never experienced such attentive and kind service before. Andrew suggested a few things to eat and each item was better than the last! We also asked if he could recommend us some places to eat and see around vancouver and he went around to all his coworkers asking for recommendations and wrote them down on a card and gave it to us. We will most definitely be back here again! Thank you for such a memorable experience.
