    Went here for our anniversary and can say wholeheartedly that we made the right decision! I’m not one to usually write reviews, but the food was delicious and the service was one of the best I’ve ever received!! For as busy as they get they are still incredibly attentive and personable! Kiki was probably the best server I’ve ever had at a restaurant and definitely made our night/anniversary! 10/10 would eat here again!!

    Incredibly enjoyable lunch. The duck and beet salads were both great (slight win for the duck), fried chicken and sweet potatoes were also really good, and the mushroom pizza rocked! Service was friendly and attentive as they guided us though our first visit. Lauren was a positive contribution to our 1st post-retirement date. Thanks for the amazing and beautiful cheese cake (and the take away containers). Everything was delicious, unique, and beautiful.

    This was the perfect meal/evening and that’s saying a lot for Vancouver. Seven of us raved that everything about it was fantastic. Our server couldn’t have been better. We ordered seven dishes and shared them all. Plates may have been licked.
