We came here to celebrate a Birthday and looked forward to a good meal out, as one expects with the…read moreKeg. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with both the food and the service. First off, the bread isn't as good as usual. It was fine but nothing great and barely Luke warm. We always get asked if we want more bread but not on our visit here - a first. Our server was so busy and there was no supporting staff except to deliver the food from the kitchen. We didn't get asked if we wanted more bread, took 20 minutes to get our order in, our calamari appetizer never arrived and just our mains but by the time we could find our server we were halfway through our mains despite that I am a slow eater. The server did apologize and said he would bring the calamari and take it off the bill, which was nice. Calamari came in 10 minutes but portion looked small. When the server came by next he mentioned that it came quickly because he stole the order from another table - what?!? Am glad the calamari was free because it didn't taste great and portion was small. My boyfriend wasn't asked if he wanted another beer until we were at the end of the meal and when I asked for a water refill it took another 10 minutes. It took us over 2 hours to eat and not because I was slow eater but due to the slow service. We were looking forward to our Billy Miner pie but the server never mentioned it and as it took so long to find him we gave up on dessert and opted to go for dessert somewhere else. This must be a franchise location and not sure why it's so busy as service and food easily the worst Keg location I've ever been to and I have to most locations in the Lower Mainland plus Kelowna. Will definitely stick to the Vancouver and Burnaby locations from here on out. The bigger disappointment was that I wrote to the Keg to provide feedback and never heard back. Sad to see one of the best chain restaurants to go downhill.

This was not a good experience. We came to celebrate a birthday and had a table of 5. Our bill was…read more$400. Although the service is great, the kitchen was off. We emailed the restaurant after to discuss the experience and had no response. We ordered appies and drinks to start. The Caesar salad is amazing and highly recommend. The crab cakes and calamari were also delicious. 2 people got prime rib, one steak, and one filet mignon. Plus a bunch of sides, like the brussels, Mac and cheese, and broccoli gratin. The broccoli gratin was dried burnt broccoli with a sprinkle of parm. The Mac and cheese was bland. The food came out except for 1 prime rib. After 10 minutes, the server came to apologize and inform us that they were out of prime rib. He offered the prime rib sandwich on rush, which we appreciated. It came out quickly enough but was not good. There was too much fat to meat ration. We would have sent back a few things but the table beside us sent back their food multiple times and we were ready to go. Not sure what happened but it was an off day. I would not recommend this location!

Shoestring Café is a small family owned business located in the industrial area of No. 6 Rd…read more Without word of mouth, one would typically not notice a restaurant in this area. However, I know why this restaurant continues to be booked and busy. I have been various times before but this was the first time in the last few years. I would describe this restaurant as western fine dining for a Chinese palate. You'll find some classic dishes but less heavy on the salt and grease, perfect for myself and the party I was dining with. I ordered the 5 course meal which was a fantastic deal for $65. The bread service at the start is so warm and yummy - don't skip out on it! The pesto sauce tiger prawns weren't overly pesto forward and had a strong presence of garlic - perfect for me! I loved the chowder as I especially like corn. The portion was also perfect considering I had many courses coming afterwards. Next, came the crab cake, which was generously filled with crab and paired with delicious house made butter. For each dish, I found the garnishes pleasing as well (especially the strawberry which was so sweet and ripe!). I think the best deal of the night was the steak. It was not too salty and cooked perfectly to a medium-rare. I managed to have leftovers as well since the portions were overwhelmingly good. Finally, the star of the night was definitely the chocolate soufflé for me. I loved the rich bitterness of the chocolate paired with ice cream on the side. I don't think this place is the best representation for fine dining. After all, they do not serve any alcohol. However, I think it is a great deal and accommodating to my taste buds. If I do not wish to drive out for fancy food, I know I can rely on the food at Shoestring café. As it is a family run business, there is only one person managing the front and I think they do a pretty good job at juggling all the duties of a host, server, and table busser! I would love to return soon.

Friendly service and I love how passionate they are about quality and using fresh ingredients (eg…read morefresh mushrooms for sauces and fresh made pasta). Steamed mussels and soufflé were so addictive and heavenly. The mussels were savoury and buttery and the soufflé was airy with the perfect amount of sweetness. They were very good! Hits and misses for the mains. While the pasta and sauce were great, we wish the seafood were panfried or something to give it a bit more texture. The duck was well done but not tough (we generally like medium rare) though we were confused by why the skin was served down as crispy skin is always a plus for duck breasts. I'm not a fan of mashed potatoes but theirs was not overly heavy and buttery, which I really appreciated and enjoyed. This reminds me of Asian western food but they were tasty and the ambience was cozy - a local neighbourhood spot.

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT IF YOU WANT YOUR EXPERIENCE RUINED…read more My son took my parents and I here for my birthday. We have been here before and my son really enjoyed it so he wanted to come here for my birthday dinner. We ordered 2 regular prime rib dinners, 1 fillet mignon, 1 French Onion soup and 1 Caesar salad. Here's what happened: 1. Parts of the crust on the French Onion soup came out black. I sent it back and the manager came by to minimize my concerns. Another manager came by to apologize for having the crust burned. 2. My son ordered the fillet mignon medium. It came out well done. The manager came out to apologize again. 3. The replacement fillet mignon came out tartar - seared on the outside, cold on the inside. 4. Same manager came out and deemed it was unaccepted. I asked for the chef. Sous chef came out and apologized. Offered to cook it himself. 5. After waiting 45 minutes for the 3rd attempt at cooking a steak, we decided to pay the bill, tip the server and we left. They didn't even bother trying to fix their first two mistakes. Overall, I would say this was probably the worst meal I've had the displeasure of having at a steakhouse. It was disappointing especially for a chain of steakhouses. My recommendation is do NOT patronize this establishment. You're better off at McDonald's or Wendy's if you want something that is cooked properly.

We waited for a few minutes for someone to notice we were there, and were immediately seated. It's a nice looking place - very classic whites, and feels like a fine dining restaurant. We decided to try the following: - Beef Carpaccio: Good. Maybe a bit light on the meat, as it was buried by the arugula and pickled shallots, so seemed unbalanced, but overall tasted great - Seafood Linguini: Mixed. Linguini was good. Scallops were really good and tender. Mussels were tiny. Red snapper was tough and dry. As a dish, it was OK, but could be better. Seafood is seasonal, so I'd think they would be better off rotating what seafood is used. - LuLu Island: OK. Same issue as the linguine. Prawns were fine. Mussels tiny. Red snapper wasn't enjoyable. Broth had flavour, but didn't come out very hot. Service was pleasant but slow. I only saw one server and one busser, so not enough staff to handle 6 or 7 tables they had. Starter came n reasonable time, but main dishes seemed to take over 20min. Took awhile to get our plates cleared, and probably 15+ minutes to get the bill. Overall, it was OK. Food was OK, but not special. Service was nice enough, but couldn't keep up with timing. Glad I got to try it, but not special enough to go back.

We tried four different fish (sablefish, halibut, salmon, and char) and each was cooked really well with slight variations that made them stand out.

Overall, a solid seafood dinner and good value.

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!

Lobster and scallop dish with french bubbles, wagyu tartar with a beautiful French Pinot from Burgandy, a clementine palate cleanser that I may dream about. But the show stopper- the A5 wagyu?!?

We arrived at 6:30 and the restaurant was quite empty. I ordered a chicken katsu curry…read more The food took a while to come for 4 people. The presentation is great, 5/5 for the wooden boards and the cute plating. Surprisingly, the curry was spicy. I liked the hint of spice but my friend who didn't like it took a while to adjust. I didn't think Japanese curry was spicy. The price was a little up there for the quality and quantity of the food. Almost $20 for a curry. Hmm. It was good curry but not amazing to justify the price. I guess the plating also played into it.

Similar to Tonkatsu, Gyukatsu is rare beef tenderloin battered with panko breadcrumbs. It's served with a hot stone plate that allows you to grill the cut of steak to your liking. The innovative dish gained its popularity in Japan around 2015-2016 and can now be found in various spots in our city. I tried their Gyukatsu set and charcoaled fried chicken. Mr. Black's rendition of Gyukatsu is quite delectable, but on the pricier side and very small portions for what you're paying for. Be prepared to spend over $30 if you're looking to fill your stomach.
