The burgers are good with interesting ingredients, the tuna poke bowl was pretty good as were the tacos that come in a few different toppings.

Came here on Thursday with a group of friends for happy hour. When we arrived, we were one of only…read moretwo tables on their dog-friendly patio, but by the time we left, it was completely full. As it got busier, the tables felt quite close together--I had to move my chair into the walkway so the person behind me could sit comfortably. Better spacing during peak times would definitely help. On the plus side, I was pleasantly surprised by the beer. They finally had the carrot cake beer on tap, which was great, though they weren't able to accommodate another beer listed on the menu (the chocolate orange stout). Food-wise, I found the cauliflower to be more batter than cauliflower.

I'm not sure if this location is newer as I don't spend much time in this neighborhood, but I was happy to come across it randomly. The bar area was nice and the service was attentive. We spent awhile here as we were waiting to be order to order off the happy hour menu which is 3-6 every day. There were a ton of things that sounded delicious on the regular menu, but I really wanted to try the vegan tofu bites and I am really glad I waited. This was one of the best things I ate on my 3 day trip to Vancouver, I think I might end up here every future trip just for this reason. I even inquired why it's not on the regular menu since I want to be able to eat it all times of the day. While we waited we sampled many beers. This place has a vibrant atmosphere. It also has a patio that looks inviting in better weather. There were many unique beers, but one that I had which was one of the most unusual beers I have ever had was the carrot cake ale, the orange color was so enticing. My sharing of this to social media has even inquired some of my friends to want to seek it out. They were happy to learn its available in cans. I will certainly give the other location I am more familiar with another go on my next visit, but now I am tempted to check out the Burnaby one as well. This is a good reminder to me to read menus even if I think I know what a place has to offer. This place is so much better than what I recall from the past. Glad I gave it another chance, although my first visit to this location, but I see the Gastown location has an improved menu as well.

New craft beer location Mount Pleasant, among the cluster of other craft places in the area. My…read moreunderstanding is that this location is actually a franchise. Parking is available on the side streets. The big empty paved lot next to the building is now just empty and devoid for some reason. Parking around here is a bit difficult, but it's doable. The venue has a nice S large facing covered (but not enclosed) patio that I imagine would get a bit too hot in the summer. There is also an indoor sports type bar and some indoor seating. As the place is new, it has a very modern look. Staff are friendly, though they don't quite look around enough. Had to wave down the staff several times. Poke nachos - nice and tasty, though it's hard to share. The fish chunks fall off the chips. Best to eat with a spoon. Wings - crispy and salted just right. Comes with (ranch?) dipping sauce. Brewhouse burger - nice and juicy. Fixings were decent. I upgraded to onion rings, and they are pretty good. Not as fluffy as A&W, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. And of course, the beers are consistent with the other locations. Decent choice in the area if one is also looking for food.

Mintara replaces Horizons on top of Burnaby Mountain - you will need to book a table - as they…read moredon't take walks ins - as they are sometimes used as a wedding venue - so you will want to check in advance. Parking was okay - but it could be quite challenging if the weather is nicer as this is a great sightseeing / sunset viewing spot - with beautiful gardens in the warmer months. The vibe was pretty cozy and warm - with large windows for you to view the surrounding park and city skyline - I think due to the fact that you need to book online or by phone - they weren't insanely busy - so the environment was pretty chill , and you could easily have a deep conversation. Very limited wine menu , in fact - limited drink menu overall. The house wine did not hit the spot - but there was not a ton of options - so it is what it is. Went for the 3 Course Dinner - for $55 - the value for price seemed fair. Appetizer - Soup of the day with garlic bread - For me the garlic to the garlic bread was super lackluster - almost just felt like a near burnt piece of toast. / The Soup was okay - had a nice spice kick to it. Surf and turf - 4oz lobster tail was on the salty end but still was acceptable. The steak was made to a medium rare - however it was definitely closer to a medium/medium well. The seasoning was okay - but the sauce was not really to my liking - should of asked for the sauce on the side - there was parts of the steak where i felt like it was dry and tough. Dessert - Coffee Crunch cake / Partners - Cheesecake Coffee crunch was not bad but towards the end gets way to sweet - you may need a cup of tea or something to truly enjoy it. It taste like the Coffee crisp chocolate with a hint of KitKat if i needed to describe it. Cheesecake was rich, nothing to special. Overall - Service team was amazing - and checked in on us an appropriate amount of times. - I think this is a good place for you to indulge at a more budget friendly place. However if you wanted top quality steak or seafood , you are probably better off spending a bit more elsewhere. I will probably come back - but not in a hurry to do so.

I recently attended a wedding here and was so pleased with the venue. Not only was the view…read morebreathtaking, but the renovation and modern touches were stunning! The food was a good 8/10 - roast beef was delicious and they had the most amazing sticky toffee pudding as the dessert - knocked it out of the park with that! 5 Stars for Kevin, i believe he was the restaurant manager. He was so kind, patient and there for our every need. Super nice guy and made sure everyone was happy! All of his staff were wonderful too. Sadly, the event coordinator was extremely rude and not attentive. I don't usually write negative reviews on people but there were several instances where she was not helpful and straight up passive and rude. Like girl, this is your JOB. We had a special suite as part of the bridal party and we were out of toilet paper in the bathroom. After looking around i wasn't able to find any - so i inquired about it and said "hi, i just have one inquiry, we're out of toilet paper in the left stall. could we get some more please?" and she goes "there should be some in there" and just walked away. Like thanks... All in all, i'd highly recommend this spot for a nice meal and walk around the park. It's one of the most beautiful views in metro Vancouver!

It was a sunny Tuesday in August, the Hubs and I decided to finally try this coffee shop. Street…read moreparking is available but somewhat rare find. They also have 2 parking stalls marked with "coffee" right by their building. This place is great for anyone who needs a place to work. They have a long power bar in the loft area, the table by the counter has a power bar tower, and the accent chairs also have a power outlet. They also have a patio (next to the 2 parking stalls) for you to enjoy your beverage/meal. The walls are hung with Art work that one can purchase home - not cheap, but hey it's art. The shop was quiet and didn't have that many guests when we arrived. We ordered a medium cappuccino and a Spanish latte. Cappuccino ($5): decent flavours. Not much else. Spanish latte ($5): also decent flavours. Not much else. Overall: the space is great for work, a bit tough on parking/modes of transportation to get here, coffee was ok (not matching to price). Likely not coming back again.

The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away too much from the overall atmosphere. The food was solid--my favourites were definitely the burger and the charcuterie, both of which stood out. The Brussels sprouts were just okay in comparison. Service was decent, nothing over the top but perfectly fine. One of the highlights is their happy hour, which offers great value on both food and drinks. Overall, it's a place I'd happily return to.

Bayside Lounge is one of my go-to downtown spots for brunch, namely because of the great views of…read moreEnglish bay; its largely undiscovered status so it's easy to get a table; and good value. The vibe is 70s retro with harvest gold upholstery and smiley faces on the walls; the stellar feature is the view and plenty of windows to go around. There's a distinct "eau de bar" fragrance in the background. To note: because it functions largely as a bar, they don't serve brunch to kids under 19. I usually order the Healthy Hash whilst my partner likes skipping around the menu. The well-seasoned hash sports plenty of crisp veggies (zucchini, tomatoes--both fresh and sun-dried--and yams) topped with a couple of perfectly poached eggs. Today my partner ordered the Chorizo Avocado Benny, and while it wasn't one of his favourites, he'd order it again. The chorizo sausage was surprisingly bland however. Service was well-intentioned although a bit haphazard. Not our server's fault because he was the only one on duty whilst guests continued to stream in. Maybe the secret is already out...
