OpenTable Diner - 09/10/2019

Foods are always okay at Redhead. But we found the service is getting worst then before. Maybe only one sever now and she is too busy. No smiles on her face and she seem so rush. Don’t feel like to go back as we don’t enjoy it much like before. I hope this can improve as we love this place. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/14/2019

OpenTable Diner - 09/17/2019

The gluten free desert alone makes the visit worthwhile! We both ordered the Lunch express, it is such a good deal. Soup was Roasted Tomato and Chickpea; tasty and comforting on a near fall day. Main was Cod in Green Curry with Kohlrabi and Garlic Chips; just the right size for lunch, the curry was as I like it, a righteous blend of creamy and spicy that soothes and makes you pay attention. Compliments to our server who knew to bring out a soup spoon; this dish would not be properly enjoyed if eaten with a fork. Dessert for gluten gobblers was a cookie I have do doubt was delicious...however we gluten avoidant were served a perfectly proportioned Chocolate Caramel Mousse Barre topped with Sea Foam Crunchy Toffee... oh la la! so mouth-wateringly good! This was my second lunch-time visit to Donna Mac and I wonder why I let so much time go by between visits. Will not allow that to happen again. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/17/2019

Green Bean consistently presents with great service and food. I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve ever had, and my dining partners have always agreed. I’d recommend it to anyone for a business lunch or just casual get together with friends. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/12/2019

Food is phenomenal, pricey, but worth it, service was good, although a little slow. Very cool location, but you have to walk there, so its not the most accessible, but gorgeous location and the patio is perfect. More

OpenTable Diner - 09/08/2019

Best in class - food and service! It is no secret that we love Charcut as we are regulars to their restaurant especially when it comes to their lunch service. However, tonight was special as it was our anniversary and we don’t want to “try” some place new to celebrate our day. We want to go to somewhere that is tried, tested, and true - one that is a SOLID 10 - and tonight was another testament to that! We were greeted by a young smiling lady who had us seated in a place that had a little card waiting for us! (WOW!) You know, when people truly read the notes on Open Table and pay attention to that - it scores HIGH in our books! We had a feast! We ordered a Caesar Salad to start. Hubby was wondering (why was there an egg on it?) I pointed out that if he looked close enough - there wasn’t any mayonnaise - which is typical of any Caspar dressing. Instead, they put the natural /whole ingredient - the egg that would add the richness (creaminess, if you will) and that’s what that egg was for. Then we had the order of the broccoli with labneh (OMG, it is absolutely tasty)! I know, it’s broccoli but the charred green drizzled with that labneh was amazing! Hubby was raving too! We ordered a prime rib - and oh so good!!! The other starch was the poutine. And you all know how seriously great theirs is! Finally, our dessert. It was a caramel flan. Smooth and silky and gluten free! Thank you to EVERYONE who made our night special! We had a great time - as always! More

This was probably the best experience I have had at a restaurant. As someone who works in the industry, it was amazing to have a knowledgable server. We were there for the first night they rolled out a new menu and the food was phenomenal. Will absolutely go back again next time I am in town. Do not miss out on this place. Wish we had something like this in Vancouver! More

Brenda who was overseeing the reservations was phenomenal. Considering it was Stampede, it was amazing to receive a personal call verifying our reservation and answering our questions. Also, inquiring if we were attending the concert, and providing additional information for that as well. The service was amazing, with the amount of tables and people, our server was on top of everything, attentive, and personable. The food was amazing... Definitely will be coming back again. More

OpenTable Diner - 07/12/2019

Great place, amazing food. More then amazing. The food takes time because it’s so fresh but so worth it. Staff moves way fast and are very busy, made us a little anxious seeing as every time they power walk past you it causes a huge draft and the floor makes your chair feel like it’s dipping. But we look forward to sampling more of the menu. More
