The menu had a few vegetarian options and the Green Goddess Buddha Bowl was tasty! They had a nice little selection of beer on tap (I didn't look at the wine list). The washrooms were nice and clean.

We are lucky enough to have friends who are members invite us to brunch here. The view of the water…read moreand mountains was beautiful, and the food was surprisingly good! THE WAIT: There was no wait on a Saturday at 12pm. They were somewhat busy. Note if you have kids/babies, you can only eat at the area further from the windows, and there is no table service (except when they bring out your food). NOTE: For the nursing moms out there, this is a great Family Room on the lowest level! It has a view of the water and has a door that opens out onto their deck. There is a sink, fridge, water, restrooms, showers, a Pack n Play, toys, and a comfy sofa. THE FOOD: BENNIES * Eggs Diablo ($13.50) - 4.5 stars The potatoes were great, soft with a crisped edge. The sausage was spicy, just enough without being painful! Only complaints are this was pretty oily, which really drenched the spinach, and the yolks weren't runny (though soft). * Eggs Pacifica ($14.50) - 4 stars Tried a few bites, also great! Potatoes were much more crisp than in the Eggs Diablo.

My child attended this summer camp for two weeks and has been left with serious psychological…read moredistress. The instructors here showed an alarming lack of professionalism and misused their authority to unfairly target and humiliate him. They made false accusations, shouted at him without cause, punished him with arbitrary "time-outs," and consistently treated him with disrespect. Their behavior was not only inappropriate but also harmful. As a parent, I find this completely unacceptable. Children should feel safe, supported, and encouraged--not shamed, blamed, or bullied by the very people entrusted to care for them.

Friday volleyball is very popular) - Less than 10 minute walk from the Metrotown skytrain - A couple of EV charging stations ($2.00/hour) Bad - Archaic booking system (no online booking system available. You have to call to book a squash/racquetball court) - Half the time when you call, staff doesn't answer - Downstairs weight room is cramped - 1 combo court (normally used for squash or racquetball but they currently refuse to move it) - 50% of the time the men's shower facilities don't have body wash You get what you pay for at Bonsor. Don't expect much and it does the trick.

Last two times I came here it was for a New Year's Eve party. This time we came for dinner at the…read moreAcres restaurant. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered a miso soup and the Avocado Temaki which came with two Avocado cones. It was a simple dish but nicely done. The family seemed happy with their food for the most part. Arctic Char looked very appealing. There was one dessert that didn't quite make the grade. I didn't try it myself but I heard multiple family members saying that the texture of the dessert was kinda weird and not very enjoyable. A dish got broken and the staff were very quick to clean up the mess and apologize for the incident. They also removed the dessert in question from the bill. Staff here are friendly, efficient and very polite. Two thumbs up for the customer service. Service: Great Parking: Upper parking lot if you're a member; lower parking lot if you're a guest.

Majority of staff was polite and others just minded their own business.

Replay's sports bar has some great healthy options and of course the regular bar foods ie. wings, burgers and beer. Food is good, price is a little expensive for a sports bar attached to a gym. The gym has lots of equipment although free weights are mostly on the far because of the lack of etiquette from other members. Big plus is a super clean and fairly large private women's only section. There is enough equipment in this area that girls don't have to leave and visit the co-ed section. They also teach mixed martial arts here with two studios, a ring and lots of punching bags. It's not the prettiest gym but for $20ish a month and 24/7 hours you can't really complain. They just need better decor and to check the equipment regularly.

5 stars for the general manager Darren. His customer service skills is amazing. He was able to…read moreanswer all my questions and professional. 3 star for overall gym. The womens section is way smaller than back then. They now allow people over 55 to go into this small girls section which makes me feel SUPER uncomfortable because there's older men who just watch you workout behind and beside you ( even if there's 1 person in the co ed area). This is something I'd like for them to change. I assume the purpose of having a girls area is so women can feel comfortable working out without feeling self conscious. Other than that, they have a lot of equipment and is open 247. They have ample of showers and lockers (bring a lock for lockers) They also have parking. Please change the women area to an actual women area. It's SUPER awkward to have older men in such a small area working out with you. It forces me to either go the co ed section or forces me to go into womens change area ( they have mats) when I purposely signed up to use the girls section.

The cardio room is packed with treds, bikes, seated belt rower, elliptical machine and I think a stair climber. The weight room could use a few more key benches and one or two more machines. I mainly go around 7:30am-8am. There tends to be the same group of people everyday getting in a game of squash, badminton or fitness before work. It's never been packed and I've not had to wait for any machine or weights yet. I plan on speaking with them about putting in some new benches/machines, I'll have to write a follow up review to that conversation and outcome. I signed up for a year and don't see why I wouldn't sign up for another.

I haven't played doubles yet but I will try one day! It's well located next to Queen Elizabeth park, they have a parking lot and also a bar/restaurant upstairs for food after a an intense badminton or squash match with TVs to catch the hockey games playing that night. All in all, I've been pleased when I go there. I'm not a member, i go with a coworker that is a guest and play there when my squash league plays the home team.

I haven't been to Five Sails Restaurant since it was taken over by the Glowbal Group back in 2020…read more My wife and I went for special group celebration. It was so long ago that I last went, I don't remember what the placed looked like. But what I do remember was the fantastic views over the water and immediate surroundings, and that continues to be a big draw. We had a private corner of the restaurant for the event, and were given a group menu. I ended up trying the Hand Cut Beef Tartare, Burrata Cheese, Sablefish and Beef Tenderloin, and I have the same comment for each of them - all classically prepared focusing on simple ingredients, simple preparation and nicely plated. These dishes are timeless, and I feel that these are same fine-dining dishes that have existed i. high end restaurants in Vancouver from 30 years ago. That's not a bad thing, because they will always please the palate, but in the same vein, not as memorable either. It was actually the desserts that stood out for me, because they were less traditional and more of a surprise. Service was spot-on. We had a dedicated server for our table and she was attentive, friendly and professional. She was everything you would want in fine-dining restaurant. Overall a nice meal. I don't think you can have a bad meal here, but haven eaten at a lot of fine-dining restaurants , I know the dishes won't stand out in my memory either. But the view will, and that's the main reason one would go here.

The food was very tasty and honestly reflective of the chef's award-winning status. Service (1/1): Service was impressive. The meal outside of Dine Out season was quite an experience--there was a wine pairing that was served in a dark, opaque glass, which forced me to use my nose and taste buds to try and figure out what wine it was.

We particularly liked the vegetarian chili, mussels in curry sauce, and the dumplings. The ceviche was also interesting, more about the corn than the fish, and nicely spiced. Caesar salad was the only miss; please stop messing with this classic dish and stick with romaine and croutons! Service seemed a bit overwhelmed on a busy Saturday night, but the kitchen had no trouble keeping up.

Doesn't disappoint, once again just a nice simple Friday night dinner. Would highly recommend.read more
