I had a great time celebrating my friends birthday on Wednesday! Our server was great and didn't sound scripted or feel like she was trying to oversell us and made sure we had the best time while giving great food recommendations. Would definitely go back :)

It was our first time going there and we will definitely be back. For a downtown Vancouver restaurant I think the price was VERY REASONABLE and the quality of the food was Very Good! We were there on a Saturday evening and I was surprised that it was not more busy. The server was SOOOOO KIND. We had tickets for a show and we mentioned that to her when we arrived. After our food was delivered she looked at the time and aware that we would need to be leaving soon. She took the initiative to ask if we wanted anything else before the bills were delivered. She made some food and drink recommendations and everything was very good. I was very impressed and happy with our experience!! Thanks!
