   Have been before and had a great meal with my wife. My father was in town with his wife so we took them The service was very excellent. What I found I regards to the food was that the Pork and Beans - which is a bone in pork belly chop with a cassoulet bean side. Without the beans this dish is or was very dry. The beans help with that. Also the watercress salad at over $20 was very small compared to the kale salad of around the same price.

   We had a fantastic dinner with an out of town guest. Will be back to try other new additions on the Spring Menu. Loved the Scallop Risotto and Kale Salad.

   We just went for pre-dinner drinks I had an avocado and my husband had coffee and Bailey’s. It was really nice on the patio.

   The portions here are very large very filling. The service was good but it did take a while for us to get our drinks. One of my friends had a floater served to her in her coffee but the restaurant rectified that very quickly. We were sat outside at the indoor patio which was very nice but the sun was blaring in my face and when we asked if they would lower the shades, they said no. Understandable but not helpful. If you’re there for the brunch, then I recommend the Dutch baby if you’re hungry or the brisket croque madame they were both delicious. Make sure to book a reservation when we got there there was a line out the door. Was thankful to have booked a table in advance.

   This is my third time and first time for brunch. It gets a full 5 stars across the board yet again.

   Service was excellent! Looked for some light items on the menu (more salads) but the quality was great. The music playlist was eclectic and wonderful. The soundtrack to our lives, which we loved. Great vibe!

   From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and welcoming from every member of the team. You could really feel the pride they take in what they do. Every detail, from the food to the hospitality, was just spot on. It’s rare to have a place where the entire staff leaves such a great impression. Can’t recommend it enough—this will definitely be our go-to breakfast spot anytime we’re back in the city.

   We happened upon this restaurant because it was in walking distance of our hotel. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. I found the food exceptional, although I would have added just a little greenery to the chicken plate, even a few skewers of cucumber to take the heat from the delicious hot honey on the dish. I really like when there is a small side salad on offer so I can have veg with my protein but not a huge portion. My husband said they were the best ribs he had eaten in years. I will put this on my list for next time I visit Vancouver.
