Restaurants near Darvill's Bookstore

One of mine and my daughter's favourite restaurants in Vancouver! The Food, the portion sizes, the atmosphere, the service. All exceptional. Nice small plates so we can try a few different things and share. Just dined there yesterday and already looking forward to our next visit.

We were seated at a table for four right across from the kitchen. Without any fuss, we were moved to a much quieter area where two of us in our 80's and two in their 70's had a lovely evening meal. We called it a "date night". The lobster was fantastic and the desserts were decadent and delicious. All of the servers were wonderful and that is why we come to Anthony's. We all live on Whidbey Island and it is often our "go to restaurant" when we want to have a special evening.

Great food, great views, great service. Got the smoked salmon reuben based on other reviews (even though I was doubtful of the salmon and sauerkraut combo) and it was really good. My companion got the pastrami which was also really good. Will definitely come here again.

Pasta too thick therefore to al dente. If you serve family style, serving utensils need to be provided

Estelle’s is simply great. The food is creative and never fails to impress. The cocktails are simply brilliant. The staff at Estelle’s are friendly, knowledgeable and work as a great team. The size, informality and sense of casual elegance is very appealing. Estelle’s has become our favorite restaurant to take friends to who visit us from out of town and is always a wonderful treat for us too. Nadine, who has been our server the last few times we’ve been there, is outstanding. She a charming and gracious woman who truly enhances the experience of dining. Not to mention her depth of knowledge and experience. Gray, at the bar, is an performer as well as a talented mixologist. The menu at Estelle’s is small, but each dish is so well done and distinctive it is very hard to have a favorite! A new-to-us dish that wowed us on our most recent visit was the ‘chicken liver mousse coastal huckleberry & chive with sunflower sourdough’ omg! We’ll be back soon again and highly recommend it.
