This review is from the perspective of 2/3 diners that are gluten free but very into high quality food. Overall, we wanted this meal to be better… more creative and interesting. The food is good, but just lacked some pizzazz to us personally. This is a solid dinner spot for an intimate meal, but we probably wouldn’t go back (we were visiting Vancouver so take that with a grain of salt). Also in a rougher neighborhood so just a heads up if you aren’t familiar.
