    Found this restaurant by doing a quick search on line as we were laying over near YVR after some skiing in Whistler. The whole experience was wonderful for our group of 6. We were asked by our waitress if we minded eating family style by sharing various mains to which we said was fine. We left it to our waitress to bring us a variety of dishes that she would recommend. She did not disappoint. The food was wonderful with a variety of flavors and proteins and some vegetarian as well. The service was pleasant and attentive but not at all intrusive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect for our group and we could easily chat amongst ourselves as the music level was appropriate for an enjoyable experience. We were so happy to have found this place and would highly recommend this restaurant for its high quality food, charming atmosphere and helpful staff.

    We had a reservation for 5:30pm which we were a few minutes early for, but waited a bit of time to be seated on arrival. We were asked to sit and wait which we were fine with at first since we arrived a couple minutes early. Meanwhile, the 3-4 hosts at the front sat several groups and pairs that arrived after us. This was a bit frustrating. Our overall time at the restaurant was a bit delayed as our grill wasnt hot enough to grill the meat quickly. Small plates were coming out of the kitchen faster then we could cook it. Also, we waited quite a bit of time for the dessert course and another helper came back to clear our table 3 or 4 times before our dessert finally arrived.
