Four visits,the first two terrible.Then they rebranded and third visit great. Short ribs were very good and the chowder excellent. Now, crab cakes were hard,overcooked and bland. Pork tenderloin was dry. Also cocktails are expensive and hardly any booze in their martinis.....will not return and advising friends.

I really enjoyed my birthday brunch! We had the smashed French toast to share and it was incredible. Highly recommend having this dish!! Then we also ordered separate brunch dishes. I had the small breakfast with eggs, home-made sausage, smashed potatoes and toast. Our server apologized for the delay in waiting for our meals citing the kitchen was backed up, but we were a bit confused as there were only about 5 other tables, the restaurant was maybe only a quarter full. If you have the time to kill on a weekend morning then I would certainly recommend this place. I will definitely be going back for the smashed French toast. Thanks for a great birthday brunch!

Not sure how long this place has been open under the current ownership, but only became aware of it very recently. We took in their Valentine's day set menu and were very surprised to have such a delicious meal at such a reasonable price. The food was very tasty and very imaginative - compliments to the chef! He clearly knows what he is doing as an owner and chef. We will definitely be back again.

Our meal at Village Bistro was overall very enjoyable. However, there were a few little quirks that seem to come simply from inexperience and the newness of the restaurant. We ordered the 5 course Valentine's menu which was very good, however we were surprised that the first course came before our drinks. As well, although the waiter was very attentive, it was a bit disruptive to be asked during each course - even the smaller ones - if we were enjoying the food. Again, good intentions but the lack of experience showed.

Very well priced entrees and appetizers. Creative drinks under $10 and nice wine list with some of the best of BC's wine. Food was prepared quickly and attractively. Server was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere relaxed yet upscale. Warm and inviting room.

Went here for first time during "dine out vancouver" and the 3 course set meal (with choices of all three courses) was extremely well presented, efficiently served and tasted wonderful. The service was great too - very friendly and helpful without being obsequious or aggressive. Wine was very palatable although not a huge range of choice. Don't be put off by it's being on Davie Street as it is close enough to Burrard Street. No hesitation in recommending to friends, and we'll go again.
