“Kolby at Cactus Club is an exceptional waitress! Her friendly demeanor and attentiveness made my dining experience truly enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and ensured that everything was perfect throughout my meal.“
“Earl's Brentwood is our favorite and we go there regularly. The ambience is lovely and staff are friendly. This time however the service was very disappointing and the food was not fresh and tasty. I hope they go back in providing a good service...“
“I went there with my cousin and his wife for lunch. They came from Toronto. We found that the decoration, lighting and ambiance were sweet and lovely. I drank three pints of beer. We also dined in there. The food was delicious. The price was quite reasonable. Last but not least, the service was friendly and great. For sure I will come back soon.“
“Claudio’s is a great local find. The food is outstanding. Best Caesar salad ever!!! We keep coming back for it. Staff very attentive, great service and HUGE portions. You can order a salad each and a main to share. But we always have desert !! Servers, chefs & Bartender anre exceptional, as well! So welcoming and good at what they do!“
“For Kelowna... What a nice restaurant dining experience tonight at Bin 4 to share! Best fries in Kelowna Very good food Nice specials Lots of variety extra offers Great tunes! Exceptional service Nice company with the gf after her work My 2nd time ever only so far but obviously will return 5.5 of 5 stars!!“
“This is our family's favourite local restaurant. Anytime we've had an issue with the food here, they've always gone out of their way to fix the situation for us. The staff here absolutely rock! If you want a delicious meal and amazing service, this is the place to dine at. Looking forward to our next visit.“
“This is a nice play to watch sports at lunch or after work. Happy Hour then trivia was a cool option. The Pub Food is elevated here. Then the Happy Hour was cut from 3-5 p.m. which makes no sense. How many people get off work before 5:00? It's a bit disappointing. Persona has the best bar patio in Burnaby. This is attractive to the after work crowd in the area when the weather is warmer. Now the good times at Persona will become distant memories at Happy Hour as many people will now go to other options in the area.“
“I had a great experience at Hyderabad Biryani House even on a busy Sunday night our order arrived quickly. Taste was great and reminded me of India.Chicken Vijayawada Biryani is highly recommended ?Staff was very friendly and attentive. Kudos to Nandini for great service! Thank you!“
“Absolutely love this place, came here under the recommendation of good people and was not disappointed, dead rabbit was present this evening and knocked it out of the ball park. I love their brand and the servers there are top notch ! I will be back !!“
“Such a cute spot for brunch! Lovely food and presentation. I started with a tequila Caesar and it was so good! I opted for the mushroom and loved it. The crispy oyster mushrooms were so tasty and I loved the sauces. Pricier than expected ($23) but the flavors were on point.“
“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.“
“I ate at Zarak last night for the first time and I was blown away. Every Single Dish was spectacular!!! The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!“
“Just home from our second visit to Addah. Discovered this hidden Gem (in the old Emerald Club space on Gore) through dine out in January. We enjoyed the food so much on the first visit, we had to come back for Valentine's Day. On both visits we had a 5-7 course set menu, and each dish brought bountiful flavour, unique tastes, spicyness and intrigue – we, as yet, have not had a plate we didn't enjoy immensely! Our server Rishna (means always mad - but she's a sweetheart), today, was amazing as well, telling us stories about her village and the food in Nepal. Oh, did I mention the cocktails and wine list, while short, are totally on point! We will be returning often!“
“The service here was outstanding. It isn’t a huge space but it’s comfy and inviting inside. The food was very good. Their menu is not overwhelming which helps with decision fatigue. We got shareable plates between four people. We ordered the mac and cheese, the bratwurst / lemon herb chicken sausage, fries and mashed potatoes. Portions are decent and definitely shareable. I also recommend their pineapple beer if it’s still available mmmm. Will be back.“
“Had amazing mushroom starters followed by paneer tikka and tandoori roti. Unique taste of paneer tikka and roti’s were soft.The ice cream could have been more sweet!The staff was polite and took feedback in great spirit!Overall a good experience!“
“We met some friends here for a meal and the food was really good, I had the Lasagna which was superb, and the pizza was the best we had in Vancouver, the staff were fantastic and even though it was busy, the atmosphere felt intimate. It would be a great place for a romantic meal if that's what you want too.“
“We went for the set menu and it was amazing for the price. Every dish was spectacular and really showcased what Thai food is all about.Only criticism I have is that the food could have come a little slower so we can enjoy our wine and order more wine with our food. A wine accompaniment would have been nice.Favourite dishes were the oysters, shrimp toast, slow cooked duck curry, Sebastian’s bok choy.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs. 2x“
“We were looking for something local to the area and found The Magnet based in its high reviews. There were no more available reservations so we went when they opened at 4pm and were able to get an open table. There was a Whitecaps game later that evening and the restaurant filled up fast. Got the Magnet Charcuterie Board and a sausage roll along with beers and a cider. Loved the sausage roll: it’s made to order and was very large. Not your usual deli sausage roll. The server was excellent: patient, knew the food, gave suggestions and did not hurry us. Atmosphere was comfortable and the food great. Prices were very good.“
“It was my first time at this place, and of course I was very curious and with great expectations, as it is Michelin-starred restaurant. The food is definitely worth the rating: each course has a surprising taste, recipes are inventive and I can tell there is research on how to pair the ingredients, in order to create unexpected flavours. I was a bit disappointed by the ambience; it is really tiny, only high chairs are available, and you basically dine elbow-to-elbow with stranger: there would be nothing bad with that, if the price rate was not the same, if not higher, than other similarly rated and much more comfortable restaurants. Watching the cooks preparing the meal was fun, but, once at home, all my clothes smelled of deep fried oil (to be 100% honest, smell was absolutely not an issue during the meal, I only noticed it when going home). For these reasons, I cannot give 5 starts: I am very happy I tried it, but I am not sure I would go again for these prices, given the large choice of high level restaurants in Vancouver.“
“God atmosphere, servers were great took a bit of time getting a menu but was early on the evening maybe they were just getting warmed up. Food was extremely tasty and well prepared, everything looked fresh. Greek salad was lacking a little salt, commercial tomatoes just don't have the flavour it needs. Only other comment would be the lamb chops, at $10 a pop minimum $20, as tasty as they were that's just not reasonable price. They were good but not $20 good for 2 small chops“
“I visited to decorate the last day of my trip, and it was a choice I had no regrets about. At the bar, I met the nationality-same-person, had fun and interesting conversations with the same guest. The quality of the cocktails was very good, and some gave me a new perspective. Both the classic and signature cocktails were delicious. If you come back to Vancouver one day, you will be the first to visit.“
“The food, specifically NewYork steak, lobster, baked potato and vegetables, were all amazing and the service was no different. I took my mom there for a nice fancy dinner and neither of us were disappointed at all. The server was very friendly and polite which made for a fantastic dining experience. Without a doubt we will be going back again. Oh ya, and the cheese bread there is a must try, absolutely delicious. Enjoy!“
“Amazing place to get your head out of the crazy workweek .. Delicious drinks and great appetizers in a lovely inclusive environment.. Jenn, Jan and their staff make you feel at home and take care of you.. just wonderful … I’m not a gin person, but I am now .. best gin and tonic I’ve ever had. Mind blown .. come check it out !“
“They treated us like royalty, when I made the reservation I had said it was my wife and I's wedding anniversary and as soon as we arrived they were on top of it, free champagne and very capable and intuitive service. Very friendly and outgoing but not smothering or annoying. They were there when needed but gone when they were not so that I could enjoy a private, romantic evening with the love of my life, the food was delicious and the drinks were perfect , all in all it was a wonderful and memorable night and I would recommend to anyone looking for a top of the line dining experience when it comes to not only grade "A" cuisine ,but service second to none that I have had the pleasure of receiving thus far! Thank you Glowbal ..... Mick & Darlene Ryan“
“Great service and atmosphere. Loved the food we got and how many thoughtful AND delicious vegetarian options. Crispy spring rolls were excellent, okra skewer was a darkhorse and you can never go wrong with a plate of fried noodles. Thanks Anh and Chi!“
“Recently went for date night and had a great time. I love that the menu has cute drawings of what your drinks look like! Staff are friendly and damn good at their job. Such a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, quite yummy nachos! Would totally recommend going with friends or a date! Definitely going to try the mystery bowl next time!“
“The team at this place has always been awesome and the food is so good.I always get the slam burger and the wings.Also love the fries, taquitos, cookies, churros, and the weekly hot dog options.You honestly cant go wrong with any of the items on the menu.“
“Great local pizza! Ended up going with the pepperoni king & caged heat.Great tasting oven made pizza that comes in either 14’ or 16’, all pizzas are just 6 slices the slices are just slightly bigger depending on the size. Went with 2 hot honey and 2 chipotle garlic sauces. The chipotle garlic actually ended up being the spicer sauce out of the 2 which caught us by surprise but was good nonethelessOverall pizza and sauces were great but I found the prices to be a bit steep paying $75 for 2 pizzas 4 dips and the tip.Would recommend :)“
“perhaps it was the awesome weather, the wonderful company and most def the high ceilings - the watson is def going to be highlight for me for 2024. foodie trio again, and s and i arrived early - we were able to catch the last bits of hh! the decor is modern yet retro - i see that they were channeling dr. watson vibes at the bar area, and the upstairs area is quaint - perfect for a small gathering/party! we were seated right away, and our server, leo (i snagged the name frm my receipt LOL) was VERY attentive. he assisted us with the menu, recommendations, washroom directions - you name it! he was a delight to have! s and i started with some hh nibbles - the whipped burrata and prosciutto. the house focaccia was charred nicely with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. i found the burrata to be on the saltier side but s loves cheese so who am i to complain! the bomba tho - the antipasto that could! it added a nice kick to the dish - not too much cuz s can't handle too much spice - and it was so good that we kept the little dish of it to munch on thruout the night. for drinks, s had the house red and i had the twisted revolver. the twisted revolver was boozy yet there was a nice hint of cinnamon and musty/wood aftertaste. by the time we finished the burrata, a arrived and there was a last call for hh - s and i fumbled and ordered a pencillin for her plus the duck wings. a said the pencillin, with its ginger foam, reminded her of ginger beer/moscow mule - two of her favs. the duck wings were saucy and delish - a and i are used to having the duck wings in a more chinese fashion, and the watson's spin is with gochujang - korean chili paste - which was a nice change to our palate. we then went from 0 to 10 with our ordering - we ordered the harissa carrots, wild mushroom toast, shishito peppers and the roast 1/2 chicken. i ordered my 2nd drink as well - the royal tea, which reminded me of a spiked ribena bubble tea due to the cassis caviar. i did have another refreshing french 75 with the fords dry gin - i was determined to have all the gin on the list (there were only 2 that i havent tried) but alas, the sipsmith gin was not available for my tasting ): now the food! the small plates are def enough to share btwn the 3 of us. we had the shishito peppers and wild mushroom toast arrive first. the shishito peppers were charred nicely and the romesco added another level of heat to the dish - s found some of the peppers to be too spicy but a and i loved it. we kept the romesco on the table - we have a thing for sauces/dips ok?! the wild mushroom toast was OVERLOADED with mushrooms - def a brunch dish but we devoured it anyway! the white wine and fine herbs that went into the mushroom mixture made the concoction that much more flavourful. the house sourdough held its own for the base of the dish - it did not get too soggy nor did it fall apart! onwards to the harissa carrots and roast chicken. we added feta to the carrots, and honestly, i personally like carrots but im sure this dish will make anyone that hates them love them again! the hummus, yogurt, za'atar and pomegranate - it creates a wonderful symphony of flavours in your mouth. the carrots were roasted nicely - caramelized surface but the crunch was still there. it complement the roast chicken VERY nicely. the roast chicken was juicy and tender, the mediterranean vegetables and tomatoes - you need to have the spice yogurt! we were thoroughly stuffed by the end of it, and we're looking forward to coming again to check out the other dishes/drinks!“
“Second time here and was very impressed - better than I remembered.Food 5/5 the crudo and suck carbonara were amazing, my partner also loved the semifreddoAmbiance 5/5 artistic and nostalgic. Clean and beautiful bathroomService 5/5 attentive and niceReturn likelihood 5/5“
“Tara and Alexis were so professional and patient.Had my wife and in-laws out for the NBA playoffs and they were not phased by all the hoops and hurdles my inlaws were throwing at them. I’m talking “hot water with lemon, scissors to cut the portions down to smaller pieces, and plethora of other demands.Food was phenomenal and the service was even better.Highly recommend for any special events or just a night to watch the game!Cactus is doing something right with the exceptional service and overall experience! 10/10!!“
“I brought my mom to Published on Main on a mother-daughter night out. The food was amazingly delicious, and service top-notch. We had a memorable night together sharing love and a wonderful culinary experience. Will definitely return for more!“
“I went here with my partner for my 32nd birthday! Right from the start, we were greeted warmly and I was excited to tell them it was my birthday and they were happy to have us! Our server was very attentive and kept checking on us regularly! We started off with the Avocado Dip which had incredible flavour plus the added lime finished it off and I actually liked the pico de gallo (I don’t like it usually). I had the Taste of The Tri-Cities taster menu for my main with the Zen Roll (which is one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had), the Steak Frites (the kale salad was refreshing and steak was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned). My partner had the Grilled Dijon Salmon which was my favourite dish of the night! The soy-Dijon butter sauce was delicious and the cut of steelhead was cooked beautifully (I was tempted to trade the rest of my steak for her salmon). I took the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bar home with me as well as complimentary New York Cheesecake. We love coming here and this visit was a very memorable one. Thank you for making my birthday a very special one.“
“I’ve been eyeing this place for a while, since I’ve seen the reviews and love a good board - it definitely didn’t disappoint.The food was excellent - the boards very nicely put together and everything tasted great. We ordered 4 boards from the happy hour menu and the portion sizes were generous (ie we ordered too much).Service was also really good - Gorden was our host, server, and bartender, and he was excellent! He provided recommendations and suggestions, was attentive throughout our meal, and threw out a few jokes, too!Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!“
“I liked the atmosphere and the decorations. Very nice and cozy. Long and interesting selection of cocktails. The food wasn't the best! I ordered the burger, and I wasn't impressed. The lobster mac and cheese was tasty but so heavy. I think it had too much cream, I couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wasn't a fan of the food!“

“It's a pub....yet they serve Ramen, Fish tacos and Fried Chicken! The chicken is extra crispy and delicious ? ?. Price is a bit on the high side, but at least try it once. Came here for lunch with 3 other friends and we were all pleased with our meal.“
“Absolutely divine. One of the most innovative cocktail bars in the city. This place is for lovers of drink. It’s run by people who truly respect their craft. Their drinks boast daringly original flavour combinations and advanced molecular techniques, complimenting their high-quality, house-made spirits perfectly. They also serve beautiful non-alcoholic beverages and tasty snacks, so you can enjoy an evening sober and not feel like you’re missing out. An incredible place to come with a group of friends, a hot date, or solo. Service is friendly and personable. The bar manager Mia is a creative maverick- happy to talk about the cocktails, spirits, and the whole process behind everything. The room is beautiful with high ceilings, interesting artwork, and an industrial feel. You can smell the booze from the distillery as you enter, and it’s intoxicating and instead of cloying. It’s everything you want a bar to be, definitely worth checking out.“
“I was thoroughly impressed with Medley's Italian & Grill. The quality of their Italian cuisine surpasses others in the area, offering artfully crafted dishes with authentic flavors. Their friendly servers contribute to a warm atmosphere, blending luxury with comfort. Medley's is a highly recommended destination for an outstanding dining experience.“
“First trying this place. First impressions were it was clean, nice decor. Friendly greeting. I tried the veggie snitzel. It was really tasty. I was pleasantly surprised. The black forest cake was good. I wasn't a fan of the ceasar salad dressing. Service was a bit slow as there was only one server. All around first experience. I would go again.“
“Had a great time at Mum’s The Word Open Mic in Toronto. It’s a free space for art thrive (singing, story telling, stand-up comedy, whatever talents you have). Fun place, friendly people, cozy, great service, awesome beverages. Totally recommend it!“
“I’ll be very honest.The food was a 6.5/10Tyree was the man serving us. He made the experience. He was sweet, kind and fun and is deserving of a better position. He knows how to make people feel comfortable and have a good time with them. Please have him as an example for every server to exist in the world. He’s great at his job, please let him know.P.S. It was impossible to guess his name“
“Located on the 2nd floor with parking underground opposite to Metrotown.It's all you can eat that you can choose almost every item on the self select menu, drinks and popsicle are included. Food is fresh and services is reasonable good. Relatively is not that expensive for dinner. “
“Cheeky cocktails, wicked cozy atmosphere and friendly service. This little room where you can eat delicious chicken, to the sounds of retro soundtracks is what Vancouverites need. Highly recommended if you're looking for something off the beaten path for a casual drink or snacks.“
“Came here multiple times. The great selection of beers loved the salted lime lager, and I also loved the Roja sangria sour. The interior is very cute and lovey. I love the blue. There are some accessibility seating and outside seating. Also, there are some tasty vegetarian food options.Overall, every time I've come here, I've loved this brewery.“
“Best western BBQ I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere is quaint but very cozy and the owner makes everything himself. We splurged on the full platter as a group of 3 to give everything a try and everything went beyond what I could’ve ever imagined: the ribs are so tender and fall perfectly off the bone, the brisket and chicken are both incredibly juicy, and the pulled pork is just perfectly flavourful (and not too dry!)All sauces really elevated each every single dish, would absolutely come again.Notes: reservation required, call or email. Orders could take some time since everything is made immediately to-order. Great meat takes time and man is it worth it. Thank you Marc for such a terrific experience!“
“Located at the top of Burnaby Mountain, I believe they were recently rebranded/renovated. They offer a very reasonably priced $40 for 3 courses or $65 for 5 courses. The website does mention they only take reservations so do be mindful of that! They had a la carte available at the time as well, but the value is way better with the set menus.We tried the 5 courses (Starter + Sushi Roll (4pc) + Soup OR Salad + Entree + Dessert) as a part of Dine Out Vancouver this year but it seems they have extended their offering for the next little while. Inside is dimly lit giving a romantic vibe!We went as a group of 4 and this is what we tried:Starters: Ahi Tuna Tartare, Hamachi CarpaccioSushi Roll: Salmon Roll (sockeye salmon, cucumber, avocado), Crab Roll (fresh crab, avocado, cucumber)Soup: Lobster Bisque (with lobster chunks and garlic toast.. mmm)Entree: Surf & Turf (8oz NY Steak with choice of 3oz lobster tail or 2 scallops), Miso-Glazed Sable FishDessert: Chocolate Souffle with vanilla bean gelato and fresh berriesDrinks: Recommend the Shanghai Fizz (2oz - $15) - gin, lychee liqueur, pineapple juice, ginger ale. They also had a good variety of mocktails as well.The seafood in the starters/sushi rolls were good quality and fresh tasting. Portions were very very generous, and everything was tastier than I expected! The presentation was lovely. Even just the Surf & Turf itself would be charged for much more at similar establishments. I would definitely return for a special occasion/date night!“
