Best food that I have had in Vancouver during this visit. I had the beef tenderloin and it was fantastic. Service was great. Ambience: noise level a little high. Background music should be lowered.

This restaurant was recommended by a lot of people in Vancouver. The food was excellent, our server. Charlotte was extraordinary. The manager was very attentive and came to our table to make sure food. Allergies would not be an issue, and we really appreciate it that gesture. Yeah The only issue we had was with the hostess, who was not really friendly. That alone could’ve been a bad experience for us, but the rest of the staff made it so we forgot our encounter with her. Overall, (without the hostess interaction) our experience was great.

I discovered this restaurant through Yelp and was blown away! I've traveled to BC from Los Angeles and this was one of the best meals I've had all year. Not only was the food incredible but the service was exceptional. The prices are on the higher end but it's SO worth it. Highly recommend the escargot and the duck. I will definitely be coming back here when I travel back to the city!
