A luncheon sandwich is about $8.5, if you add a side salad then the combo is $12. Just the right portion and good value for the quality in our opinion. Don't forget the loaded cookies!

The older lady here doesn't have much personality and didn't really seem to care that I was patronizing her business.

There's only a limited sandwich and salad lunch menu on display. It didn't have any prices, so I didn't know the tiny sandwich was close to $9 until after ordering. It tasted alright, but not worth it IMO. There's lots of better food options in the area.

I went here the other day for a friend's birthday dinner. He had been here many times, and is quite…read morea fan of this place. It's a cute small location in a light industrial area in North Van - the kind of place where you do expect to find little unknown gems - so I was expecting something likewise. My wife had already told me some of the reviews on other sites mentioned a certain amount of 'french rudeness', so we came prepared with some expectations. (And being European I'm definitely used to some of the less customer focused treatments at restaurants). After I had already ordered a "Salad with melted brie" as an appetizer I glazed at an adjacent table where I saw a small plate with some lettuce, tomato, and a stick of something deep-fried - I sincerely hoped that was just some side greens and not the appetizer I had just ordered. Low and behold, it was indeed what I ordered. After cutting it up and mixing it thoroughly it tasted ok. Nothing special. I just don't expect a reasonably priced appetizer salad to look like it was just cut off of a piece of lettuce. Next, the first incidence of rudeness. Being with 9 people at a table, we had 2 baskets of French bread. One basket - on our side of the table - was empty, so we asked: "Can we have some more bread please?", waiter: "There is more bread in that other basket.". Great! We laugh it off, finish the other basket, and get more bread. we knew to expect something like this. Second incidence of rudeness: The main dishes are coming out. The waiter puts down a dish on the table and in doing so knocks over a glass of water which spills on the table and one of the women at out table. The waiter does not even acknowledge what just happened, not a word, not a gesture, nor an offer for some napkins! He just continues serving the other dishes while we gather some napkins between the 9 of us. Ehmm.. yah.. that's rude! The main dish: pepper corn top sirloin, medium rare @ about $25: I would give the dish itself a B- . It was ok, but definitely not 'great' or 'outstanding'. Rude moment nr 3, while collecting the plates the waiter bumps into my wife and drops a dirty knife off of one of the plates onto her arm. Great! Dessert, we brought cake which was served from by them. They were thankful enough to put candles on them, light them, and bring out the cake. The cake we brought tasted great! (Thanks Sweet Obsessions!) So yeah, the (beyond) rude service, combined with the quality of the food would make this a 2 out of 5 stars. Sorry Cordon Bleu - it's gonna take a long time for me to give it another try.

Finally a lunch spot in east Richmond worth going to!!…read more When I first started working in the Commerce Parkway area I noticed a small sign for a Taste of Italy on No. 6 Road, but could never figure out where the restaurant was actually located. One day last month, tired of Quiznos and Joy Lunch Station, I decided I'd find out once and for all where they had hidden themselves. Persistence paid off; I almost felt like I was trespassing, what with all the fences and such, but I found them at the far end of Mayfield Place, ground floor of a low rise. And what a find it has turned out to be! As the name suggests, they serve Italian dishes -- pastas, paninis, and the like, all of which are very tasty and fresh. But more importantly, they have, hands down, the best tiramasu I've found in Metro Vancouver!! It actually comes in a bowl, like it's supposed to! And why is that? Because the cook is a genu-ine eye-talian! Prices are reasonable -- 10 bux for a filling lunch; the food is pleasant, and the atmosphere is nice (though I just take mine to go). If the owners ever read this review, I'd highly recommend you make your signage more clear -- it's confusing figuring out where to go once you turn onto Mayfield Place. With food as good as yours, you don't want to hide, do you? Or DO you? that way there'll be more tiramasu for Dave...

But it's been found--and by many, many people. Call ahead with your order from their website, which is updated daily by 10am with their specials. Otherwise prepare to wait 20 minutes inside the small space for some of the freshest Italian food Richmond has to offer (busiest between 11:45-1:30). They also run a catering arm of the business, which my company has used and enjoyed. Everything here is better than good, but I highly recommend getting whatever their daily specials are. The soup of the day is always freshly made that morning, and is always unique and good. The chicken caesar salad is a good, filling size with dressing made from scratch. Lots of love goes into this food, and the staff are so pleasant to interact with.

Ok, so remember how I said the paninis are really good? Well for those of you who love potato salad…read more-- I have found the perfect potato salad here! "How good?" You may ask. And here's one story: One day, while I was sitting there enjoying my freshly-made panini (grilled nonetheless) and soup, a father and his little son came in and each only ordered a large bowl of potato salad. And once they sat down and started eating, I kept hearing the kid say, "Mmm! This is good dad! Mmm!" Seriously, if a kid thinks this is good AND this is freshly-made everyday with no crazy coloured, artificially flavoured ingredients in it -- it is really something everyone should try! I am not a big mayonnaise fan, so I never liked potato salad where you can really feel and taste the mayonnaise, and this potato salad really hits the mark with me. A small confession: Ever since I have tried the potato salad -- when I go there for lunch, I always order only one thing that is tasty and fills me right up...that's right, the large bowl of potato salad. ...Ok maybe not only that one thing -- their pumpkin strusels, coconut pineapple buttercream cake, and their scones is always something I would get (not all at once though, just either one) to fill in that afternoon snack-time at work.
