Best Restaurants for People Watching in Vancouver

The wine list is interesting, concentrating on great Italian wines you might not have heard of (but should) at really fair prices. The food is fantastic reginonal Italian-influened cooking and excellently prepared. What a lovely mix of sophisticated cooking, great wines, and sincere service. Adding to our regulars list for sure.

We had a reunion with old friends at Nostrana. Our party included seven people and we sat in their special section for larger groups. The restaurant truly made this a memorable occasion. The ambience, service and food were all exceptional. It was truly one of the finest restaurant meals we have enjoyed in a long time.

Service was spot on! Waitress was kind, informative and well-timed; not too frequently visiting but we were never without. I was there early and was accommodated. Food is delicious but good golly it is spendy. Be prepared for that, but also a great evening of interactive dining.

The food, the people, the drinks, you can’t go wrong. Your dining experience can be adventurous or safe with lots of well known options and maybe something you’ve never tried before, but it’s all made with love and care. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door and are taken care of right up until you leave. One of my favorite restaurants in Portland.

A perfect choice for Christmas brunch. The decor was wonderful!
