We reserved a table for about 18 of us, and they did a great job accommodating our large party. The food and drinks were delicious!

While we could see staff, no one acknowledged us for a few minutes. We had a reservation we were on time for and once someone came to the hostess desk, we were seated right away. Getting a drink took 35 minutes. Getting our appetizer (very salty focaccia) took longer and only was delivered when we flagged someone down. Getting our food took over an hour. My friend's food was cold. Mine? The chicken was RAW!!! The fries were soggy and waaaayyyy over salted. No one checked on us during that time. We finally flagged someone down again to let them know half the food was inedible and only then did they pay attention. They told us the manager would come talk to us. They never did. This mysterious person simply gave the wait staff a coupon for one free drink and two-15 percent off coupons. Really?! The wait staff asked how they could make it up to us. We said it's too late. We had a concert to attend that we were so late for (because of this) that we missed the first act. I left without eating dinner. The staff took the worst of the meals off of the bill. While I'd like to give Willow another chance, I doubt I will.

I've been coming to Cafe Dantorels for about 10 years, and they never disappoint! The restaurant is…read morealways clean, and the staff consistently provide great customer service. My go-to order is the California Crepe with chicken and avocado, along with their orange juice. Usually, orange juice upsets my stomach, but for some reason, I can tolerate theirs! The food is delicious and the quality has stayed consistent over the years. My only downsides are that it can be a little pricey and parking is limited. Other than that, I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend it!

Husband surprised me with a lunch date, and he knows me so well when it comes to the cafés and…read morerestaurants I love. The place he picked, Dantorels, did NOT disappoint! Dantorels is such a classy and elegant spot. I really love that they serve pretty much everything on their menu all day long. Want pasta at 8 in the morning? You can get it! Crêpes at 3 in the afternoon? Absolutely! The ordering process is pretty simple. Once you walk in, you're handed a menu, you decide what you'd like, place your order at the register, get a number, and then pick your favorite spot to sit. The inside is a good size, and they also have outdoor seating. They even have a place to park your bike. The service was great! We were checked on a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and to see if we wanted anything else. I ordered the chicken and spinach ravioli, and my husband got the classic eggs Benedict. Both were delicious! It is a little on the pricier side, but honestly, I think it's worth it. This is definitely a place I would bring my girlfriends for a nice lunch date Parking can be a little tricky since there isn't a large parking lot, so you'll most likely have to park on the street. I'd recommend coming earlier if you want a better chance of finding a spot closer to the restaurant. Overall, such a beautiful spot with great food and service. Definitely give Dantorels a try!

5/5 experience this time. I've actually had a pretty variable experience there and I attribute that…read moreto their ever changing menu and experimental nature but c'est la vie The service and ambiance are always nice. It's a great place for a date, dinner amongst friends, and dining solo at the bar. I actually think it's a great spot for a martini / cocktail and some oysters before you go somewhere else. I come here a lot for a off menu cheeseburger, and it's solid (4/5) The focaccia was superb. Had that balance of crispness with being fluffy and light. Comes with a balsamic and olive oil dressing but that is superfluous IMO. The oysters were fine. I wish they sourced from around here vs BC. You get some nice oils to add to them on the side. The peppers were such a delightful and tasty snack especially with the Caesar. The seasonal greens were a great accompaniment to the whole chicken. The chicken had this awesome curry flavor to it. I believe it was Malaysian based. It was perfectly moist with a well seasoned and crispy-ish crust. Not pictured, but we also had the pole beans which were seasoned in a tamarind sauce and with Chinese sausage which I think added to the flavor profile of the chicken. Definitely $$$$ with cocktails but it's a great move with the chase sapphire benefit (IYKYK)

A nice, quaint location for a Bib Gourmand restaurant. We went for a birthday dinner and had a…read morepleasant experience. Love the family/tapas-style way of serving, and I always enjoy a restaurant with a limited menu. Started off with a glass of Pinot, while my fiancé enjoyed a non-alcoholic Citrus Shrub Soda with notes of guava and peach. From the quick bites menu, we ordered the Caponata Focaccia, Tots with mole sauce, and the roasted Japanese sweet potato with cheese whiz. Service was good, and I loved the lighting and open kitchen concept. Food came out fast, with the focaccia first, paired with a peach and olive oil dip reminiscent of the balsamic and olive oil you'd get at an Italian restaurant. Texture was stellar -- fluffy inside, crunchy outside -- though a bit too oily for my taste. The tots with mole sauce were the definite highlight: crunchy outside, pillowy inside, and the mole, pepitas, pickled onion, and cotija made it a standout dish. The Japanese sweet potato was just okay -- the cheese whiz was a nice touch, but the texture was a bit off and some pieces were slightly burnt, adding an unwanted bitter bite. For entrées, we tried the "off-menu" burger I'd seen hyped in other Yelp reviews (decent, but honestly a bit overhyped) and the grilled pork rib cap, which was another hit -- amazingly tender, paired with a balsamic cherry jus, and a generous portion size. Overall, this was a meal with no real complaints, but also not one I'd rave about. For the price, there are better choices out there, but for a special occasion or group outing, it's an upscale spot with a kitchen team that clearly knows how to build flavor and texture.

Between the great customer service and excellent food, Chef Burma is now our new favorite place. Thank you, Angela and Bella!

First of all, the cocktails are deliciously satisfying. It's not easy to find a restaurant with amazing cocktails and food. Tea Leaf Salad: This is now my favorite salad of all time. I never thought I would say that about a salad with no meat, but the flavors and textures are incredible. I honestly need to learn how to make this myself at home. The garlic chips really seals the deal here. Chicken Curry Dip: The pastry was so buttery and flaky. The curry was deeply flavorful, and the chicken thigh inside was wonderfully tender. Mango Shrimp with Coconut Rice: Oh my goodness, the rice was so fragrant. The shrimp was packed with flavor without being overly sweet. Tip: Make sure to ask for the hot sauce if you like spice. It is actually spicy, which is a rare compliment coming from me!

Potato pesto pizza was also great, and the fresh tiramisu was a nice light finish to our meal -- more than enough for 4 people.

I have been super…read morepleased with the service for both my visits and my only comment would be to give all the servers a nice bonus! They really made my experience always good. Now unfortunately I did have to dock 1 star purely for the food because I would love for this restaurant to keep thriving and I would be so happy to come back again and give a higher rating! I'm a long term fan of Kru and Kodaiko so I was really excited for Chu Mai. My first time, I ordered the lobster shrimp cheong fun and this was bougie dish that I enjoyed! We also ordered the laksa pasta which was a seasonal item (unknownst to me) and even though our kind server told us it was spicy, my friend's and I were thinking we eat spicy korean food all the time, it'll be fine. It was not fine, it was really spicy BUT it was delicious. Picture 3 asian visibly sweating and going back for more while downing copious amount of water and eating the roasted cabbage as a palete/spice cleanser. I actually took some of the pasta home to share with my partner who also thought the flavor was sooo good and wanted to come here for our anniversary. I totally forgot to write a review back then, because I would have suggested an option small cup of coconut milk or broth that people can mix to make the curry less spicy. Now for our anniversary dinner, I want to restate, service was impeccable! They went above and beyond! I really enjoyed the Cà Ri Khaoi Taylor, I love me crispy potatoes! But unfortunately the Bún Riêu not only came a bit later than expected. It was also slightly undercooked so it made for a harder mouthful when I bit into the dry/raw pasta parts. Our amazing server offered to change the dish and we took the lobster dandan noodles to go since we were on a time crunch, so I didnt really eat the noodles super fresh. It was good but it didnt have the kick and enticing flavor that the laksha curry pasta had. So I mainly wanted to come here and praise the servers, but also bring up that yes the laksa pasta back! We can handle the spice!!
