                                                            We had a birthday celebration. Our server, Shelby, was very nice, professional and taking a good care of the guests. The food was not tasty. Beef tartar came blunt, duck and risotto were over-salted and we have to return two of our plates. The location is very nice, spacious patio with beautiful Vancouver sunset view. For the prices they charge, I won't come back, as the main component - FOOD was not good.

                                                            They could not find my reservation at first. Then they give me the only table in the full sun. All the items for Happy Hour were very expensive. Then 10 minutes before we had been there for 2 hours we were told we had to leave in 10 minutes. Surprise! And more than half the tables were empty. I could not see 50 people showing up at 4:30 demanding a table and no one did. I guess they did not want our business since we wanted to order more food. The service was slow and unfriendly. She did not smile once. No conversation. Missed asking one of my friends if he wanted food which he did. All in all, I can't see myself or my friends coming back. We were there at dine out and it was stellar. Too bad things have changed for the worse. Will not make it in the long run. Most things could be forgiven if service was good. Worst service I had in a long time. As good as being on an Air Canada flight 🤣

                                                            It was not the weather for a patio dining experience but the team at Ancora did everything they could to make it wonderful. It’s tough for restaurants right now but Ancora did everything the could to make sure our night was special.
