    NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH
    Natasha P.

    Tried Village Taphouse in Park Royal and overall had a solid experience. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich on a gluten-free bun, and it really delivered. The bun was nicely toasted and held together well (which isn't always the case with gluten-free options), and the chicken itself was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with flavour. It came out hot and was served with a side of fresh fries that complemented it perfectly. The only downside was finding a small chicken bone in my sandwich. I let the staff know, and while it didn't completely ruin the experience, it's definitely something worth noting. Overall, it's a great spot for a tasty meal and I'd still come back, just with a bit more caution next time.

    Came here with B, C and R for lunch. Dined during happy hour and all starts or pizza $5 off menu price. I got the mini macs and the Korean Fried chicken. The food here was very delicious. B got the Nashville burger which he said was not spicy at all. C got the brunch. It looked very delicious. R got the pizza. He said it was ok. The restaurant has a nice vibe and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Heard the place is part of the Cactus Club chain. Overall good experience. We will definitely be back.

    Chcken tenders with sea salt fries

    Everytime when we come visit to North Vancouver we must stop here and this my first time to come after 9pm and it is the time starts for Happy Hours. All starters and pizza is $5 off which is a pretty good deal. Their portion is big and service is friendly. Food we ordered Nachos- portion is big , it comes with the fired roasted tomato salad instead of the regular salsa. It add a more spicy taste to it but I still prefer the regular salsa better that gives more a refreshing sensation. Dry Ribs Well seasoned, standard but if it can be smaller bites will be better. Chicken Tenders Surprisingly good! Crispy, crunchy, and not greasy at all. The coating stayed light, and the chicken inside was moist. BBQ Chicken Pizza The sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, tender chicken, pickled onions, and cilantro balanced each other so well. Every bite had great texture -- definitely a must-order.

    One of the best place to grab a drink. The food has always been great. Their happy hour menu offers a variety of choices and service was excellent. The bar has comfortable seating area, good for watching a game plus dining as well.

    I used to go here often when I lived in the area but I haven't been back for a few years. My friends and I decided to come here after a day up on the slopes. The service and food was as good as it was in the past, which is why this place is a solid go to when in the area. I actually prefer it to the near by Cactus Club. I didn't have it this time around, but they make pretty good pizzas here. I was tempted to bring one home to my partner but decided to just take him with me next time so that we can enjoy it fresh with some wings, which I remember being quite good. For this visit, my friends and I had salads and shared the meatballs. I really enjoyed both dishes and my cocktail was well made. I was just a bit disappointed that my drink didn't fill up the short highball glass when they brought it to me, which is why I'm deducting a star.

    Margharita Pizza

    We came on a busy weekend. The menu looked like it had great options for our bunch. The restaurant was packed, but we got in quick. We started with apps & drinks. We ordered the Dirty Bread for the table. We devoured it, I would highly recommend. The herby cheese dip was addicting, we all couldn't get enough. I opted for the tuna poke'. The portion was hearty, flavors delicious, it was topped with crispy rice croutons, very flavorful. It was a great choice! Hubs got a turkey club, which was pretty standard. Our table also got the margharita pizza, which looked to be a restaurant specialty & was delicious. We were in town for the weekend and were tempted to come back again. We enjoyed our meal!

    Strawberry margaritas at happy hour
    Marybeth W.

    I have been coming to this place for years and I just love it. All of their food is good. It's a great place to watch hockey or big games - especially playoffs. I've sat in every section of the restaurant and it's always comfortable. I went with a friend today and caught the end of Happy Hour. Reset out on the patio. We had strawberry margaritas and split the potato skins and calamari. Everything was delicious. I know Cactus Club and the Keg are close by, but I almost always go to the Taphouse when I come to Park Royal.

    tequila shots...poured unevenly
    Mori N.

    We've been coming here for years, and after sometime away, coming back for some food and drinks with some friends it was a significant disappointment. I'll tell you why. Have you ever been somewhere to eat and you felt that your server had better things to do? Like prepare for an exam or go meet her friends? That was our first impression of our server when we sat down and unfortunately it lasted the whole evening. The attention, effort and energy she gave to our table the entire time was as if she wanted us to finish, pay and leave and we had just gotten there. When she did come around she never cleared the dirty side plates from our appetizers, and dirty dishes sat there throughout our mains when we finally asked the bus boy to clear them. Anyhow....moving on....so that's for service. Now for the food....keep reading. Overpriced hot wings that used to come with dip and celery...you know....they're hot wings...now they charge you for celery and dip....yeah I'm serious. Hot wings tasted frozen and old. The Korean cauliflower tasted good but it was swimming in sauce. The truffle fries were more like regular fries, limp and lacking freshness, as well as the yam fries were not seasoned at all. No salt nothing. Bland. We also ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger which was very average, but what was odd with that order was that there were fries missing in the container it came with (see pic). Like someone had helped themselves with a couple of them before the dish arrived at our table. It was not topped off. We had a tequila shot and it tasted like water when we told our server she told us to pick a brand we liked, so we went with Patron. Once those arrived, even though they were the same order....one of them was poured less than the other by at least 1/2 a shot. Yeah...not good. We were going to let our server know, but she came around only when she had nothing better to do. We used to love this place but this might just be enough for us not to return. What a shame.

    Korean Chicken, Tuscan Kale Salad, Crispy Sushi
    Jessica I.

    We came here late night during their 9pm - 12am happy hour. There are some great deals! We chose the Tuscan Kale Salad ($10), Crispy Sushi ($12) and Korean Chicken ($14). Everything was amazing, I would recommend all three of these dishes. The salad was great and I particularly liked the crunchy bits. The crispy sushi was really unique - poke, avocado, tomato and jalapeño over deep fried blocks of rice. The korean chicken was flavourful. Can't go wrong with either of these! Our server was also very funny and kind!

    We came in just before the lunch crowd hit on a weekend. It was about a quarter filled then. By the time our food arrived, the place was packed (after 12 pm). So either make a reservation or go before 12 pm. I had the Caesar and the huevos rancheros. My friend is Mexican and definitely thinks it is not the real deal. But it sure was tasty to me. I added the braised chicken but i could do without it. The meat was not as tender as I would like it to be. My favorite part was actually the rice. It was very flavorful. The bacon Benny my friend ordered looked good too. It was served on croissant which made it a bit different. Service was friendly though a bit spotty when it got busy. It was understandable. It just took a while for us to get our bill. Plenty of screens to watch the games too.

    In Vancouver for the first time and looking to have some Persian food, and eventually found our way…read moreto Miraas. I really loved how expansive the menu was, with plenty of our favorites featured. For me, the barometer of a good persian place is their Kubideh, so I opted for the Vaziri, with my wife ordering Ghormeh Sabzi, and Lubia pollo for our son. Everything was amazing. The grilled chicken and kubideh from the Vaziri was tender and juicy, quite possibly the best I've had in some time. The rice served with all three dishes was also tremendous, with savory and buttery tahdig that was to die for. The family loved their ghormeh sabzi and lubia pollo as well. So our first persian food outing in Vancouver was a hit. I know there is plenty of Persian food to choose from in this town, but hopefully when we are back this way, we will come back to MIraas as well.

    I'm an eggplant lover so when it comes to Persian restaurants, Bademjan has long been my "go to"…read moredish. It typically has meat in it so I've had it a lot less ever since I became Pescatarian. When I read the menu for Miraas online and saw that they had a Vegetarian version of Bademjan, I knew I had to try this restaurant! I came here on a Thursday evening with my mom and we ordered the following: Mirza Ghasemi (Smoked Eggplant Dip) Breaded Shrimps Veggie Mosamma Bademjan The Mirza Ghasemi appetizer came with one piece of bread which my mom and I split into half. It was a warm and tasty appetizer. I was a bit surprised at how quickly it was served to us, but found no fault with the dish and sooner is better than later. With only one piece of bread for this appetizer, there was plenty leftover to bring home afterwards. Mom's Breaded Shrimps dish was super crispy. It was basically like a Prawn Tempura in a Japanese restaurant but a lot crispier than that. I think my daughter would love this dish and will have to bring her to this restaurant so she can order it for herself sometime. My Veggie Mosamma Bademjan was served with a very generous portion of Tahdig (Crispy Persian Rice) and it was the most beautiful plate of Tahdig I have ever seen. I've seen basic versions of Tahdig online. A basic version would be white rice on the bottom with a golden crust on top. This one had the white rice and golden crust on top, along with a sprinkling of dried barberries, something green (pistachio or pumpkin seeds?), and grains of dark pink rice scattered around the edge of the plate. It was so colourful and quite the sight to behold. Service could have been a bit better. Our server wasn't rude or anything like that. Just that I felt like I had to constantly stick my hand up and wave it in the air to get attention. Would have been nice if our server had simply been more attentive to us, without me having to wave my hand in the air. Food was awesome though. We will definitely come back again sometime.

Truffle Parmesan fries - steak fry size with an excellent coating of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese. Personally, I prefer shoestring, but these were still very good. The Royal Huntsman House made bison patty, royal blue Stilton cheese, Cajun Hickory, smoked wild, boar, bacon, apple chips, butter, lettuce, tomato, 40 Creek barbecue aïoli, charcoal brioche bun, choice of salad, or fries. The patty definitely could be bigger, given the fact that the rest of the ingredients are "big" and losing sight of what should be the featured layer was a miss. Otherwise, what an impressive plating and wonderfully composed flavors. The tangy blue cheese draws out like a blade and the bacon is to die for. Seafood Chowder Creamy style chowder, shellfish, steelhead, Pacific cod, potato, chive, crispy, bacon, served with baguette. This outdid even the Huntsman - a well packed chowder with generous bites (not bits) of all the above - there was more volume of bites to sort out than actually creamy soup. Incredibly integrated flavors and keeps amazingly well. A five star can't miss dish. Given the venue , ambiance, food quality, menu creativity (they even offered a lychee boba martini), I'm rounding this up to an outstanding five star experience.

We initially chose to sit inside, but it was hot and the box fan wasn't doing enough to cool down the dining room so we switched to a table on the patio. The tables had umbrellas, but some of them were positioned in a way where we couldn't adjust them. My mom tried her best to move her chair out of the sun so she could get some coverage from the umbrella. I had the Dragonfruit Breeze Mocktail which was really good and very refreshing! My mom had an Iced Latte which she enjoyed. For my entrée, I went with the Fish and chips. Unfortunately I did not care for my meal. The batter wasn't evenly cooked. Some bites were very soft and doughy while other bites were very crunchy. The fish itself was flaky and tasted good, but the batter kind of ruined it for me. I also didn't care for the coleslaw that came with it. I don't know what kind of dressing was in it, but it had a vinegar after taste that I didn't like. Midway through the meal, my stomach started hurting (perhaps from the oil used to fry the fish). Needless to say, I didn't finish my plate. My mom ordered the Mediterranean Bowl and she enjoyed it. I did not try any of it, but it did look good. Our server was polite, but not personable compared to the other tables in his section. He was attentive in the beginning, but towards the end of our lunch he completely disappeared. He struck up conversations with a gentleman from Australia at one table and a couple from the UK at another table. Meanwhile, whenever he came to our table, he barely spoke. At some point he completely disappeared and we had to flag someone down so we could close out. Apparently our server went on break and didn't let us know. It honestly seemed like he didn't let another staff member know because no one covered for him in his absence until we grabbed another employee's attention. Mediocre food and mediocre service. Stanley's is a convenient dining option given it's location in the park, but I would not go out of my way to dine here again.

Wish we hadn't. I'll tell you why.... The Keg always set a certain specific standard that stood out. Quality, Expert, Beauty, Consistency. They had that down to a science, so much so that I would get The Keg Cravings, and no other Steakhouse would do, but The Keg. Let's start with the Service: Our server was trying, but her inexperience and lack of talent did her injustice. Talent you ask?....Yes, a great server is a talented server. The Keg was famous for having servers that were impressively knowledgeable, quick, charming and friendly. Making the guest feel like they're taken care of. Every single one of them....that was their standard. Ariel even though tried to be friendly came across as tired and really just rushed us the whole evening. Also, when we asked for extra garlic, the personal comment from her, "Oh wow extra garlic on top of Garlic Mash?..." that really didn't help. Keegan the manager stopping by was a nice touch tough, but overall our experience of the service felt like an overrun old car trying to make it up a hill, rather than what The Keg used to be...... A Ferrari cruising steadily and confidently turning heads. The Food: Everything has shrunk. The steak, the sides, the veggies.....(see pic.) I ordered the Blue Cheese Filet Mignon. That is my favourite item on the menu with a baked potato fully loaded..meaning everything on top. Sour cream, chives and bacon. This wasn't fully loaded it was maybe half way there....moving on.... The steak also tasted like it had been sitting a while before it was served, as it had gone slightly cold. The same exact story with another filet dish. Compromised quality. Smaller portions. Higher prices. Even the famous Keg Caesar Salad looked like a cafeteria salad. The steaks and sides just didn't taste as fresh as they used to. The bacon around the filet mignon tasted like bacon from a low end breakfast dump. Rubbery and chewy, rather than crispy and zesty. I'm not a big fan of free deserts for birthdays or special celebrations, but I do appreciate and value the gesture, and The Keg prided itself in that practice to show its guests their appreciation. Even that's been cut. I don't mind paying more. But, don't cut corners with portion control.... and service, and that's what the whole evening was like...cutting corners and an overall theme of Lack. It's a shame when people have come to your fine dining establishment for many years, and shortly after leaving one evening they mutter quietly to each other.... "wow....they've really declined..." Simmering a loud silence wishing they had gone elsewhere.

    Not sure why this location has such a low rating but we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience…read morehere this past weekend! Our servers were very attentive and knew our reservation was for a birthday and did their best to accommodate by offering us a great table by the window and a complimentary dessert. We ordered prime ribs and really liked the juiciness of the steaks. The twice-baked potatoes are always to die for! We also thought our waiter was delightful and he even sang happy birthday with us. :) The only downside is maybe the lobby area / elevator. The weird odor that lingered was the most unpleasant part of the whole experience!
