It is beautifully appointed It has nice high ceilings but there is still a warm welcoming feel. It's the staff. They are all so welcoming and treat you like they are genuinely happy to serve you. They have music playing but it is subtle, adds nicely to the ambiance and is not too loud. The food was very good. We got there before happy hour so we were able to order a couple of glasses of decent house wines for $6.00 a glass and shared an appetizer of crispy chicken lettuce bites. For entrees my husband had an 8 oz. prime rib special. It was so good. cooked as he had requested it. One of the better prime ribs that we've tasted and it was only $30.00 as a Sunday special. I had the lamb loin that was also very good. Service was also very good. Our server, Stella was so busy but she checked on us regularly to ensure that we were well taken care of. It is so nice when you go to a restaurant and it exceeds your expectations. This has the vibe of a fine dining restaurant with the décor, the muted background music, the service and the food. The prices are very reasonable for what they offer. We highly recommend and we'll be back.

We choose a seat inside the restaurant as it was somewhat cool by the patio door, that was open. There is nice music playing at a comfortable volume. The room is nicely decorated and there is good spacing between the tables. It was very comfortable as the room was not noisey. We were given both a patio menu and the regular menu and we asked for the happy hour menu as there was still time left for happy hour. When we asked about the happy hour wine, one of the men, I believe he may have been the manager said that on Sundays they have bottles of wine for 50% off and he brought the list over to us. This was much better value than the happy hour wine by the glass. We shared an order of teriyaki chicken wings from the happy hour menu. It was a generous serving, and the wings were very good. For entrees my husband had the lamb shank with potatoes substituted for the risotto and I had sea bass. There was no problem with the substitution. My husband said his lamb shank was good. I enjoyed my sea bass. It was well cooked and there were 3 good sized shrimp with it. It was very tasty, but I would have preferred a bit less stock in the dish. For dessert we shared an apple passion fruit tarte that came with ice cream. The ice cream was a pleasant surprise as it was not mentioned on the menu. The tarte was good but we could not taste any passion fruit. It was a good evening. Service was good, the food was good and the room is very comfortable. It is good value for the money.

Happy hour is Sun-Mon: 4-6pm & Tues-Sat 4-6pm, 9-10pm. Service is a hit or miss.

The food came out at different times so some of the dishes were cold by the time the rest of the food arrived. The food is also a hit or miss...the last time I went the food was overly salty.

However 2 days ago, we had dinner there at Station Square Metrotown & were totally disappointed with the quality of the food, the portions & the taste. Also the prices did not reflect true value any more. We are vegetarians & my wife ordered the KungPao veggie bowl . My daughter had a cannoloni spicy pasta & I had the Garden Veg Burger. The Kids had a kids pasta with Garlic toast. My wife & daughter's food was satisfactory though smallish in quantity,, but my Veg Burger was below average. The burger was small with a tasteless patty , some tomato etc .(cheese was extra) . The french fries were a disaster -dry thin stick like potato rods instead of juicy thick cut golden fries. No salad or Coleslaw was also provided . For the price charged it seemed a "rip off"! The kids pasta was small in quantity & had barely anything in it. Garlic bread was charged extra. Service was OK. Overall a disappointing experience & did not reflect value for money.

We walked in a few minutes after they opened up on a Tuesday morning and they were able to accommodate our group of six. Although the restaurant was empty upon arrival, it filled up quickly! Service was quick, and our order was taken at a reasonable time. My only negative comment with the service is that we had drank almost all the water - two pitchers were empty - and had set the empty pitchers on one side of the table... At no point did anyone refill our water until we asked at the very end of our dining experience, despite the pitchers being visibly empty. On the other side, the staff members were anticipatory during the ordering process, especially when two members of my party indicated they would be ordering one large clam chowder for the two of them. The server immediately asked if they would like the clam chowder split into two bowls, which was a very kind consideration. I ordered the Truffle Tortellini with prawns and it was DELISH! The mushrooms were yum and the prawns added to the flavor - I found that the perfect bite consisted of a fork-full of one tortellini, one prawn, one piece of mushroom, and one veggie piece. Sooo good! Prior to receiving our entrees, I fell in love with the calamari appetizer we ordered for the table, especially the dipping sauce it came with (I would come back again and devour an entire order on my own). The calamari wasn't too thick or difficult to chew, like some calamari orders elsewhere might be, and the sauce was flavorful. Additionally, the drink menu looked plentiful and had a variety of options that I hope to explore during my next visit!

Nothing wrong with it, but they did make it more trendy and a little upscale. Reservation is recommended as it gets busy around dinner time. As I walked in I overheard. The hosting telling a family the wait time is around 30 mins. Our host brought us to a two people table, It a bit small but I did like to sofa style seats, made it more comfortable. We ordered some martini, and chicken wings to start with. The martini tastes great, with a hint of mint and lemon drops. Chicken wings were well seasoned and tender, you can tell that they are freshly made. We then each ordered some steak. I had the black truffle butter steak 6 oz, medium rare. I gotta say, the steak was cooked just right, not over, not under. I was impressed with the flavor. The side dishes is on the carb heavy side. It's got the mash potatoes, but also had sliced pumpkin. To me, pumpkin is considered carb, not veggies. I wish we could have something different. We ended up not able to finish all because it was too heavy. Other than that, everything was great. Our server gave us space and time to decide on what we wanted. She was professional yet friendly. I'll have to go back and try something else.

Step outside, though, and the street can feel a bit rough around the edges. From my visit, the double duck pizette was the highlight. It came out hot with crisp edges, layered with rich duck flavor and bright pops from jalapeños that cut through the fattiness nicely. That said, it leaned a touch salty by the last few bites. The charcuterie board was well composed and generous for a happy hour order: thin slices of prosciutto and coppa, two cheeses, olives, and toasted bread. It came with what tasted like an eggplant spread, a punchy beer mustard, and a slightly sweet jam (possibly strawberry with basil). Service was excellent throughout!

A Pleasant Surprise in a New City…read more While aimlessly wandering through a new city, I stumbled upon this spot and figured, "Why not?" With only a handful of patrons inside, my skepticism was high, but the visit turned out to be a positive one. I started with a light crisp draft beer that hit the spot perfectly. For food, I only took appetizers...the roasted brussels sprouts and chicken wings. Both are what you would expect from typical bar fare - tasty, well-prepared and satisfying without blowing you away. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing disappointing either. The vibe is ideal for catching up with friends. The front outdoor patio sits right along side a busy street, yet the noise level stayed comfortable enough for easy conversation. It felt a bit quiet during my Monday afternoon visit on a public holiday, but I can easily see it being a lively and fun hangout on a weekend. Overall, this was a decent spot and a good find. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

The double patty double cheese with pickles and onions is like a gourmet fast food burger - it has everything you need!

I also love their Cesars, always really tasty which I find can be hard to nail at restaurants - this one is really good!
