There's a lot of great pizza in the Vancouver area. It's nice for me to just walk to dinner. This is a casual place where you order at the counter and find your table. We went early, around 5:00 on a Friday. No problem getting a table then! The many offers a lot of pizza options, from gourmet to more traditional. I saw a couple of options that made the decision hard. I opted for the potato prosciutto and my daughter wanted a different flavor so she got the mushroom pizza (I can't remember what it's called). They have beer, wine and cider, in addition to non-alcoholic bevs. I was unfamiliar with the wine options and the person taking orders made a suggestion and let me taste it. That was nice! I had a nice Malbec for $14. I thought that was a bit pricey. The staff were all friendly. It definitely had a friendly neighborhood vibe, which counts with me. The pizza was good and had interesting flavors, both of them. The mushroom one was rich, as they usually are. I enjoyed the salty/sweet combo on the prosciutto potato. The crust was a bit disappointing IMO. Just plain and not very interesting. My favorites are wood-fired and Detroit, for reference. When I ate my leftovers at home, I added a drop of honey. That was good.

The salmon was tasteless and the seafood risotto had 2 prawns and one small chunk of salmon in it.

We're not big wine people, but the experience completely won us over -- we'll definitely be back to try more. The service was incredible. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through everything without ever making us feel rushed or out of place. The ambiance is adorable and cozy. My favorite part: you can build your own little charcuterie board, convenience-store style. They had a great selection of cheeses, hard salami, jam, and crackers. It was such a fun, unique touch. Overall: amazing experience, amazing service, and great wine. Can't wait to come back!

My sister and I decided to split it, and the restaurant went above and beyond by plating it on two separate plates for us. The photos show our individual portions--and that's only half each! It really shows how generous the serving size is. The service was excellent, and our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was exactly what you'd want from a steakhouse: comfortable, welcoming, and not too loud, making it easy to enjoy dinner and conversation. Everything was cooked perfectly, and we really appreciated the extra touch of splitting the meal for us. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

We ordered their "go-to" item which is the ribeye steak: 12 full ounces of tasty tender boneless beef served on a bed of mashed potatoes. Accompaniments were a large pickled onion slice & grilled cauliflower & broccoli crowns. We ordered the steak medium but it was cooked more like medium rare. The soup & salad were some of the best openers I've had. And the chocolate mousse dessert did not disappoint. Portions were enormous. So why not 5 stars? The setting while nice, can't compare to other fine dining places that look out on rivers, fields, etc. Here we get views of a busy intersection and a strip mall parking lot. For the prices charge, one would hope for a better setting. And the extreme prices will set most folks back over $100 per diner (assuming full meals, drinks, dessert, tax & gratuities). As initially stated, this restaurant is worth it for special occasions or if cost is not a concern.

The wine here is consistently delicious, thoughtfully curated, and always comes with great recommendations from the friendly, knowledgeable staff. You can tell they really care--not just about wine, but about creating a welcoming, relaxed space to enjoy it in. The atmosphere is cozy without feeling cramped. Whether you're catching up with friends or just savoring a quiet glass, it feels comfortable and inviting. Tucked between Hawthorne and Division on SE 50th, the location makes it an easy destination. We've been here a few times now, and it keeps calling us back. A true gem for wine lovers and anyone who enjoys a little warmth with their pour.

The inside is very nicely decorated and the staff are very friendl and accommodating. The weather was unseasonably nice for mid-October so we sat outside at one of their many picnic tables.

There's a good assortment of wines to try and the person at the counter was very helpful in walking us through them. I will definitely be back.
