8:00pm reservation. The place was very busy. Great vibe. We were initially seated at the worst table for two in the middle of constant flow and as soon as the server arrived, I said, “we have to move.” We were shortly after placed at the best table for two and had Brian, a newer staff member as our server. Everything from then on was absolutely fantastic! Kudos to the kitchen staff! Our meals were perfectly prepared, well portioned and absolutely delicious. Dessert was the “icing on the cake,” so to speak! We hadn’t been to the WAG in a few years as the last time, we felt it was running on just reputation. Well we were greatly surprised and had one of the best dinner nights out in White Rock ever! We’ll be back again soon!
