Went here twice on our recent road trip to Vancouver. We stayed around the corner from the restaurant so the location was perfect. The Friday and Saturday nights that we visited both had live music and a great vibe. The food was excellent with the standout dish being the pork chop. We had a couple different salads that were both tasty and a burger the second night with a delicious bacon jam on top. The bartenders were great as well. Went with an old fashioned followed by a mocktail that I asked them to surprise me with based on a few flavor profile preferences. Overall our experience was excellent due to the delicious food but more importantly the amazing staff who were super friendly and welcoming, especially Alicia P. Will definitely be back next time we're in town!

This place is related to The Story Cafe in Richmond, whose food I liked (but remember the service was very slow). The menu here looked pretty good, so decided to give it a try. We made reservations on OpenTable. At the moment, the Sequel gives 1000 points for dinner reservations. We arrived on time, and were immediately seated in the corner. It's a nice space suited for a fine dining atmosphere, but not very big. We tried the following: - Scallop Ceviche: OK. This would be good, but far spicier than any ceviche I've had. Wasn't a problem for me, but my wife couldn't eat it because it was too spicy. I think a warning on this one would be helpful. Otherwise, the preparation and presentation was good. - Grilled Squid: Good. Nicely cooked, and generous amount of salt to give it flavour. - Foie Gras: Good. Well presented, and apple and figs were nice. An additional slice of bread would've been nice. - Beef Papardelle: Very good. Short-rib and demi-cream sauce was delicious. May favourite dish of the night. - Signature Cheesecake: Ok. Very average. Could have used some sort of sauce/coulis to make it less dry. Service was fine. They categorize themselves as casual fine dining, so the service level was more like casual dining because it was more relaxed Overall, it was a good meal. I would say for downtown, this is more a "good value" restaurant. The food is pretty good, as is the service, but it's not going to outshine other restaurants in innovation or quality.

Walked by this restaurant many times and finally have a chance to taste the food. The entrance is not on the street but through the residential entrance. Modern decor. At noon they offer both the brunch and lunch menus. My breakfast bowl offers two poached eggs and prawns. They did not ask me the doneness of the poached eggs and arrive medium just as I like them. For the sautéed mushrooms and spinach - mushrooms feel like they are deep fried than sautéed and are on the oily side - despite I asked for easy on oil and low sodium. Overall a very pleasant dinning experience. Attentive service. Would definitely visit again to try out other menu items.

We went to Sequel to try their brunch menus. It might be due to miscommunication among the service team, we sat down for close to 10 minutes and our server had not stopped by with water or beverage offer. However i have to say the service was great after that initial mishap We both chose to have vegetarian dishes for the day. We ordered organic symphony greens with added shrimps. The mix of green vegetables was very fresh and the citrus balsamic dressing was a great touch We also ordered the asparagus garden. which came with a variety of grilled vegetables. The grilled asparagus and and grape tomatoes were very well done. The added cheese on top was a great addition. It was the walnuts and honey which caught my attention to the dish. However the amount of walnuts and honey was too little for the dish which made it hardly able to taste We both had a good experience for the brunch and we would like to go back to try other brunch plates which also caught our attention this time

Service check in was fairly regular. An upper mid priced place. Decent enough brunch menu with a lot of benedict options and some more unique offerings like duck confit hash. Limited cocktail list and pricey. Nice ambiance inside with black and white silent moveis projected in the back room.

The sequel was such a great way to start the day! Tried the savory breakfast bowl and it was so fresh and delicious! The smashed potato hash browns on the bottom were to die for. So crispy and flavourful! I would come back just for the potatoes! Enjoyed my meal with a latte which was just as amazing as the meal! The staff were all super friendly and had great recommendations

Been here a few times. Relatively large space with tables for mid to large size groups & bar seating as well. The bartender (s) here are very friendly and can make you just about any drink (even if it's not on the menu). The drink names are quite funny as well. This round we had the miso Sablefish which was a bit on the small side but I going the flavors went well together & the zucchini noodles definitely don't make you leave feeling weighed down. My date had the Ribeye which yo be fair was a very large slab. However our cook this round was a bit overdone even though we asked for medium rare. Such a shame cause it sure was expensive but then that's the cost of meat these days I guess. For dessert, we got the half size Flambe Crepe Suzette. Mini fire at the table when placed down and not too boozey tasting with the grand Marnier added. We thought the half size was fine for us as we were not that hungry. Located relatively close to the seawall and ideal if you're in the area already.

Ordered the Egg in Purgatory and coffee for Brunch. Sat at the bar since they didn't have seats without reservations. Staff were friendly and gave us some recommendations. Cool trendy place with good food.

Amazing food and chill atmosphere! The Sequel has a nice menu with vegeterian options, burgers, french and italian food. A good mix for picky eaters! Located near Coal harbour, finding the entrance is a bit tricky, just go inside what looks like the lobby of a building, the entrance is on the right Lovely vintage decoration, nice bar in the middle and a smaller dining room in the back after the kitchen. We had dinner in the small dining room, there was a Charlie Chaplin movie being projected on the wall. Our food was excellent. Probably the best food we had since we loved to Vancouver. Lots of flavours, riched and balanced. I have no complaints. The cocktails we tried were also very nice. We came back the following weekend for brunch which was nice but not as spectacular then dinner. I highly recommend coming for dinner.

Cute cocktails! Would be fun for a girls night out. We shared some small bites. I was sad the ceviche was so small but it was good! Service was so good and so communicative. I'd love to come back for drinks.

Went for lunch on the weekend with my nephew and hubby. The service was friendly, and the place was nice, although I really hope they do something about the chairs making horrendous screeching noises as it drags across the tile floor... ouch! I had the savoury breakfast bowl... and it was HUGE! I actually think it would be better if they just served it on a plate because the bowl made it hard to eat as the pieces were too large to eat without using a knife and fork and the bowl just made it more difficult than necessary. The flavours and quality of ingredients were excellent, so I do recommend it. My husband had some sort of decadent deep fried chicken with a creamy gnocchi with a poached egg... it is super decadent and rich. If you like that sort of thing, it's delicious. However, I think it's probably something best shared, unless you are in your 20's and your metabolism and digestion can handle it, lol! My nephew has the smoked salmon bagel, which came with a lot of gorgeous vegetables. It was so huge, I don't see how anyone could actually take a bite successfully without unhinging your jaw. He said it was delicious, but yeah, the eating was a challenge, so maybe skip it if you're on a first date lol. Overall, we were really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. They seem to have some aesthetic ideas of presentation that are getting in the way of the actual eating, so I hope they manage to figure that out. I definitely would be interested in checking it out during the afternoon/evening.

My partner booked a month and a half early for Valentine's Day dinner. We've been wanting to try this new restaurant . Valentine's Day 4 course meal choice options were perfectly designed for a romantic dinner . Our choices were not the same so we can try more food . We were greeted and walked to our table by the host and gave me a long stemed red rose . Jade, our server was so accommodating and friendly . Overall a great experience

Atmosphere is plush, downtown vibe. Upon entrance, the huge bar occupies the central area of the space. One wouldn't suspect that there's more seating at the back. It's a nice space. Food is nicely presented. Some dishes are outstanding while most of them were lacklustre. *Garlic Escargot: this dish could use some salt. Escargots were swimming in butter and tasted too oily and bland. The thick toast were yummy though. *Burrata Cheese & Beet Purée Spring Salad: again this dish tasted flat. Beetroot purée was not outstanding. There's no hint of tanginess, citrus nor saltiness to contrast and enhance the bland burrata. *Miso-Glaze Sablefish: not bad. The pickled beets and pearl onions were a good side to complement the dish. *Bone-in Pork Chop: this is the WINNER of the night. It was tender, tasty and well brined/seasoned deep into the center of the pork chop. I will definite order this again. *Braised Beef Cheek: tender enough to hold its shape with a bit of a chew but demi glacé was a bit lacking in depth. Service is good. Knowing we are celebrating a birthday, we were given a complimentary cheesecake.
