What an incredible experience. The food was spectacular and the 3 course pre fixed menu meal for $35 is the best deal in Metro Vancouver. The whole restaurant vibe is relaxed and romantic, but good for family gatherings as well. We felt like we were at a dinner party. I can’t recommend it enough

The 3 course $35 prix fix menu is unbeatable. The duck confit was delicious, and getting a ceviche and a creme brulee with it at that price is simply unbelievable. Service was prompt.

A Memorable Dining Experience! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this restaurant is something special. The food was unique and absolutely delicious, with each dish offering a perfect blend of flavors that were both innovative and comforting. The attention to detail in every bite was evident, and the menu featured a range of options that catered to all tastes. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of the meal was just right. They went above and beyond to make the dining experience enjoyable and memorable. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re a foodie looking for something new or simply in search of a great place to dine, this is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Second time dining here. Everything was fantastic. The fixed 3 course meal is so delicious and such great value - nothing shortchanged in the dishes. Our server Jordan was so friendly and accommodating, and the ambience was relaxing and inviting. Such a great little gem in the neighborhood.

Small intimate setting. Excellent taste, presentation, portion size, and value at $35 for 3 course tasting menu. Totally enjoyed the ceviche to start, seafood linguine with a ton of mussels and clams, and apple cranberry crumble a la mode to finish the meal off.
