   Although we had an issue with one of the dishes they immediately removed the item from our bill. Wonderful staff and great ambience!!

   Really enjoyed the dining experience with my friend. Our server shared her personal recommendations along with the popular dishes and each dish was executed with great thought and detail. We ordered the howler’s breakfast and pork jowl bowl, paired with a lobster gyoza starter and the white rabbit crème brûlée for dessert. All were top notch as were the lattes and americanos. The only feedback was the amount of time everything took. We were there for a full 2 hours and felt slightly rushed at the end due to no parking extension options.

   Our experience was above and beyond! Amazing service, very welcoming, the server had a Happy Bday card ready for us on the table, which is the first time it happens to me in Vancouver, we really appreciated that. His service was FANTASTIC, the best I've received here as well. The restaurant was so beautiful and cozy, and the food was AMAZING! 10/10 totally recommend

   The food is excellent— some minor misses such as slight under cook on dessert pastry— but the mains and appetizers were well cooked. The overall flavour profiles are very well tuned and creative. Service is very friendly and fast. I highly recommend overall.

   We were greeted warmly and treated with kind and attentive service throughout the meal. Small blip was a lengthy wait for beverages. Understandable as there was a young trainee. The food was exquisite. Every dish was thoughtfully created and played a symphony of flavors on the palate (but without pretension). It was the most elegant comfort food. The design of the restaurant and menu were also lovely. A new favourite!
