After having a late lunch at Jetside at the hotel, we decided to have dinner at The Globe. The…read morerestaurant has been on my list for Vancouver as it was listed in a Food Journey's book I have. We were seated next to the window which was great as we could watch planes come and go. Our server came over quickly, brought water and took our drink orders. We decided to start with the beer bread served with honey, and butter topped with bee pollen. The bread was cut in manageable chunks and was really very good. Mr. B chose the Salmon dish, and he really enjoyed the meal. I ordered the truffle and mushroom risotto. While the dish was really flavorful, creamy and had a hint of truffle, it had large chunks, even whole mushrooms which was odd for risotto. I wished the mushrooms were cut in small pieces and were a compliment to the risotto instead of filling the spoon so it was hard to get a bite of risotto and mushroom together. We were tired as we had been traveling for a while and we had an early flight the next morning, and really expected a dining experience. We should have waited to order our dinners instead of ordering them with the bread, as our meals were quickly out of the kitchen. The restaurant is a little tired and the finish was peeling off of our chairs. It just didn't feel as special as everything I had read made it sound. While the food was good, it just didn't meet our expectations. But if you are there for the night, I would recommend it as otherwise it is fast food in the airport.

It's almost like being a member of an Airline Club in the sense that the lounge area is nicer. I normally grab lunch and do some work before going through Customs. Today's entree was the Teriyaki Bowl rice with chicken which was good albeit the kitchen was a bit heavy handed on the teriyaki sauce and wish they had more rice to sop up the excess sauce. The Cheesecake definitely made up for that excess teriyaki sauce as it was "LIT" as the younger generation would say with my coffee. Service standards were above par with Jordan and Claude. Thank you both for making my crazy work week a relaxing one.

I grew up in Seattle- a short drive to the south- and was missing me some seafood! I ordered up a couple local brews (IPA's if anyone is asking) and checked out the menu! I quickly focused on the fish and chips! 2pcs just to be safe! As I started to drink the beer, the fish and chips showed up! With a nice little tub of tartar sauce, and a nice little tub of ketchup for the fries- the way God intended! The fish was lightly breaded nicely fried and tasted absolutely fantastic! Especially with that great tartar sauce! Even the coleslaw tasted pretty epic! Now let me tell you this place was definitely a sports bar because tonight the USA was playing Belgium in the FIFA. World Cup and the place was lively as hell! So did I enjoy it? Heck yeah! I will be back and you should go and try it once too, and I'll bet you would agree. This place is where you want to be!

We arrived around 9:30 AM for brunch. On a typical day, I would have ordered the breakfast croissant, but I was feeling adventurous. I tried the chicken sandwich, which was served with fries topped with shredded Pecorino Romano. While the bun was pleasantly toasted, the chicken (with mayo, lettuce, and cucumber) lacked flavor. It tasted under-seasoned and needed an extra element to elevate it--perhaps pickles, cheese, or maybe even a different sauce to complement the flavor of the mayo. I found myself alternating bites of the sandwich with the fries, which were nicely crispy. The saltiness of the Pecorino actually helped balance the milder flavor of the chicken. To drink, I had a hot Americano. It was flavorful, not too watery, and served in a beautiful black mug. I would recommend this cafe if you are in the Richmond area and looking for a relaxing place to spend time with family or friends!

Place is a cute vintage vibe complete with a projector and Frank Sentra playing lightly. As someone who's not a huge breakfast person, this place was a really delicious. Server was relatively attentive and it got busier as it was closer to 11:30. Reasonably priced and full of flavor- the cheese danish was absolutely delicious and I definitely wished I grabbed one to go. Whipped cream for the waffles isn't very sweet and it doesn't come with butter so ask for that on the side. The bacon isn't crispy, it's more of a thicker cut. Smashed potatoes were also delicious but made the "My Way" a little heavy. Would definitely try to come back if I was in the area!

The side of sausage was a ok . not much of a fan of the patty. Service was friendly and the food came out quicker than expected. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that the home fries could've been a little crisper. Overall, a delicious and satisfying breakfast--I'd definitely come back.
