    This was the first time we experienced the Happy Hour and it did not disappoint. The service was fantastic! From letting us get seated earlier than our 3 o’clock reservation to our beautiful server Sarah and of course the view! We will definitely be back!

    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.
