    Just celebrated my birthday here and everything was amazing, from the atmosphere to our server to the wine, felt like we weren't in Vancouver anymore. Really lovely.

    First there is no sign for the restaurant. Second, when I walked in no one acknowledged or greeted for an inappropriate time. There is no actual hot food on the menu- no real kitchen to cook. It’s a wine bar- was celebrating something special and we decided to order two glasses of champagne- their most expensive one, and was served in wine glasses and therefore, went flat. Really disappointed, waste of time and money if you want to actually have dinner. We ate elsewhere- waste of money and time

    Very warm and thoughtful service, great wine list, fun location, and the foie gras parfait was among one of my favorite things I’ve eaten this year. Thanks for taking great care of us
