    Our server made our experience very special with his above and beyond level of attention. The mimosa bar was a wonderful delight, especially with a non-alcoholic bubble option. Everyone enjoyed their entrees as well as the buffet and don't forget to save room for candy on the way out!!

    Found this restaurant by doing a quick search on line as we were laying over near YVR after some skiing in Whistler. The whole experience was wonderful for our group of 6. We were asked by our waitress if we minded eating family style by sharing various mains to which we said was fine. We left it to our waitress to bring us a variety of dishes that she would recommend. She did not disappoint. The food was wonderful with a variety of flavors and proteins and some vegetarian as well. The service was pleasant and attentive but not at all intrusive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect for our group and we could easily chat amongst ourselves as the music level was appropriate for an enjoyable experience. We were so happy to have found this place and would highly recommend this restaurant for its high quality food, charming atmosphere and helpful staff.
