This is a very nice restaurant and the food is good. I came here with friends for lunch. I usually like a glass of dry red wine with lunch and always ask for a glass of the house red. When ordering house win I usually expect to pay between $12 & $15 a glass for a 9 or 8 oz glass. When I asked the waitress what they had, she answered a Cab Sav or a Merlot. My fault 100%, I did not check the menu. I ordered 2 glasses of House Cab Sav. The 2 glasses cost $45.50. I feel the waitress should have at least mentioned the price of the Cab Sav. (The Merlot price is $15.00 an 8oz glass). Lesson learned! Check the menu before ordering any drink from the server.

We've been coming here for years, and after sometime away, coming back for some food and drinks with some friends it was a significant disappointment. I'll tell you why.Have you ever been somewhere to eat and you felt that your server had better things to do? Like prepare for an exam or go meet her friends? That was our first impression of our server when we sat down and unfortunately it lasted the whole evening. The attention, effort and energy she gave to our table the entire time was as if she wanted us to finish, pay and leave and we had just gotten there. When she did come around she never cleared the dirty side plates from our appetizers, and dirty dishes sat there throughout our mains when we finally asked the bus boy to clear them.Anyhow....moving on....so that's for service. Now for the food....keep reading.Overpriced hot wings that used to come with dip and celery...you know....they're hot wings...now they charge you for celery and dip....yeah I'm serious. Hot wings tasted frozen and old.The Korean cauliflower tasted good but it was swimming in sauce. The truffle fries were more like regular fries, limp and lacking freshness, as well as the yam fries were not seasoned at all. No salt nothing. Bland. We also ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger which was very average, but what was odd with that order was that there were fries missing in the container it came with (see pic). Like someone had helped themselves with a couple of them before the dish arrived at our table. It was not topped off.We had a tequila shot and it tasted like water when we told our server she told us to pick a brand we liked, so we went with Patron. Once those arrived, even though they were the same order....one of them was poured less than the other by at least 1/2 a shot.Yeah...not good. We were going to let our server know, but she came around only when she had nothing better to do.We used to love this place but this might just be enough for us not to return.What a shame.

Lovely outdoor setting , open late night . The kind of place you want to hangout with friends .The food was good with vegetarian options. Not a fan of kale but their fresh ingredient kale and mushroom pizza was nice. Also their Korean cauliflower for appetizer.

Extraordinary pizza and the bacon,cheese burger with yam fries were fantastic!!We also had a mango margarita and a guava margarita!! Love the menu and service !!

I had not been in a while and will have to say that it was just alright. Nothing special and nothing bad. The environment inside is nice to chill and hang.

Nice place and good service . the ladies at the check in did their best to give a good table and said if we would come bd j in 20 minutes she would have reserved a good table . exactly after 20 minutes we had a nice corner in the restaurant . the food was good. the steak was real good and service was very friendly. the music was good but a bit to loud .

Really enjoyed the ambiance and food, the service was polite and friendly but a bit on the slow side for a Sunday afternoon when I was here. Restaurant wasn’t packed or anything either to explain it, they took quite a lot of time to get the food after ordering (25 mins roughly). That said it was worth the wait so I will definitely be back, hoping it was just an off day (we all have those so I hope you take my review in context, full transparency).

Great place. We went there for some beers and a pizza while waiting for a movie and we were greeted warmly and served by super nice people. After the movie we went back since it was so good and ordered excellent beers and later food. I ordered the steak but the chef decided that he wasn’t happy with how it was prepared and made sure I got a perfect one. They even made sure we were satisfied with the bill later on, so we gave a generous tip. Amazing guys, wish we could visit you again soon but we have to go back to the Netherlands. I hope this review helps to get others to visit you as they sure won’t regret it! Lots of love.

Time for me to give up on ordering the potato skins. Was looking forward to getting home and diving in only for them to be inedible. This has happened to me 3 out of the last 4 orders, partially on me for being hopeful for a good batch. Stick to their pizzas as they've never failed there.

Tacos are one of the best in West Vancouver Good selection of the Beer Amazing Cesar drink Good service Nice atmosphere Outside patio or dining inside
