This is a tough review to pen, as our experience overall was not up to par. The restaurant has…read morequite good reviews, but there seems to be a penchant for forgetting about their customers somehow. That's exactly what happened to us this last week. We got there a bit before 8 a good hour prior to them closing. There were maybe five or six tables at various stages of service. We were quickly seated, given waters and menus, and then forgotten for 20 minutes. We finally asked the other server, who I believe in one of the owners, if we could order. Our server came over quickly and apologized profusely, but the damage was done. Our martinis came quickly after we asked for them as did our Caesar salad, which initially seemed too garlicky, and was in fact not. I ordered the Veal Parmesan while the lovely K had the Sun-dried Tomato Fettuccine. It came as advertised, but was not what she was looking for, certainly not the fault of the kitchen. My veal was somehow a bit chewy, and had too much breading and cheese on it. The in-house made pasta (as they all are, kudos for that) was nicely done, but the protein overshadowed the sauce. The interior is nicely decorated and there is a patio area there for the nice days. The open kitchen is a favourite of ours, but it also exposes any issues that may be going on. All in all, it was not a good experience for us, but mistakes happen and we would give them a try again, as K had a good initial experience. That's the reason we went there, and one bad evening shouldn't end it all. Nice restaurants are not plentiful in PG, so everyone deserves to drop back and punt very occasionally.

I looked long and hard to find just the right place to eat tonight and we hit the nail on the head…read more This place was just what we wanted. They also have a very nice patio and I hope we could have taken our dog Avery out there. Anyhow we decided to eat indoors due to it being a bit chilly. The service by Angie was great and we really enjoyed and liked her company. She said her long range goals were to be a vet, so we introduced her to our dog. She was so nice and gracious. The food we had was top notch and enough to take with us. We had the beet salad and the goat cheese was so good, as were the fresh beets. It also had walnuts,another of my favorites. Then we had the shrimp appetizer, which was perfectly cooked. It's similar to a scampi. My husband got the lobster ravioli and the actual ravioli was so good and did not skimp on the lobster. The Viognier I got paired well with the shrimp and my husband got a Chardonnay he liked very much. Far as any suggestions I have to simply make each dish really stand out, I would have a vodka sauce with a bit of tomato flavor on the ravioli, which would help with not overpowering the delicate flavors of the lobster. The sauce was very tasty however, but a bit much for the ravioli. I would also toast the walnuts for the salad. Those are my honest suggestions as a foodie. You could also put suggestions on the menu of wine or even beer pairing with the food. It would enhance the flavors and increase sales. Overall well done in terms of meeting my expectations.

Mr. Mike's is one of those places you go to for drinks, dinner, and lots of yelling with family and…read morefriends. The place is loud ... I mean, incredibly loud. It's also a little on the dark side so you find yourself angling your menu for some light to read it. But, all this said, it's a popular place - reservations are recommended on the weekends. Fortunately, we went on a weeknight so we're seated right away. Service is friendly and efficient. She brought us our drinks and took our orders right away. I ordered the NY Strip, "Gaucho Style," which comes blackened with Parmesan-garlic fries, roasted veggies and chimichurri sauce. The steak was cooked to medium and was still tender and delicious. The "blackened" seasoning was perfect for the steak. The only drawback was a long, tough tendon running the length of the cut. Everything else on the plate was exceptional. The fries were crispy, hot and full of flavor. The roasted Brussels sprouts and broccoli had a nice char to them and likewise flavorful. I got to try my wife's baked salmon. It was moist and tasty. Unfortunately, the accompanying honey-lemon-dill sauce was a bit too sweet. Again, service was above board. We were checked on often, my iced tea glass was filled without the need to ask. Prices are slightly higher than expected but reflects current price increases all around. BUT, if you grab some drinks, order some apps and enjoy the big screen displays, it's easy to see why Mr. Mike's is never a boring place.

Cornerstone is Schrödinger's restaurant. Some of you smirk while others desire an explanation…read more Alas, the word budget compels me to ignore those pleas and continue. Cornerstone neither bad nor good. It is neither ugly nor particularly attractive. It exists in both states simultaneously and taking inspiration from the Copenhagen interpretation, the superposition ends when you walk in and have a meal. The metaphor somewhat breaks down at this point as honestly, what really happens is that the good and the bad meld together into a rather unsatisfactory gray, their ultimate sin. Cornerstone is melancholy. The ironic use of red in places doesn't detract it feeling colorless. It's a stunning shade of gray, but like the depressing trend of recent movies, that may not be the best course of action. Cornerstone doesn't offend the eyes--it's just refuses to color outside the lines (despite the aforementioned limited palate). I have made comparisons before about there being some manufacturing line where a machine extrudes the same pedestrian restaurant that anyone can purchase. I'll take 60 feet of restaurant, please. They roll it out, bring down the cutter, and you walk off with your portion. Cornerstone is the Hyundai Accent of restaurants. You don't need to look further than the menu as proof, lacking any panache or originality. Nachos, chicken tenders, lettuce wraps, burgers, wraps, pizzas. And not even funny names...I mean I hate amusing names for boring dishes but here, nothing, just "stir fry" and "steak bites" and "beef dip." Hold me back. The delivered dishes were equally uninspired. I opted for the Cornerstone burger while my friend ordered the Steak Sandwich. The descriptors were bullets points. "6 oz. Sirloin. Garlic Toast. Fresh cut Fries. Frizzled Onions." My burger saw that simplicity and raised it with "House made Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Mustard, Relish, Cornerstone Sauce." That's not a sales pitch--that's an ingredient list. They can't even be bothered even to sell their dishes. My friend's plate was exactly as listed, basically, take those items and place them on a plate and hand it out. The steak was chewy, and the portion was small, especially for seventeen dollars. Mine was sixteen dollars, and I can say with confirmed certainty that there are better burgers nearby for less. My plate was just a burger lacking elegance, speared with a toothpick, fringed by the soup special, and dignified with a single package of stale saltines sitting slightly off edge, almost forlorn like the fat friend in every romantic comedy. How sophisticated. The burger was good; there's no denying that, but there was nothing setting it apart from any burger you could make with your own two hands. I had a burger from the White Goose food truck that was half this price and included bacon, a $2.50 add-on at Cornerstone. My only other garnish was the napkin. About the only aspect of the décor I thought was worthy of praise was a slightly unbefitting centrally-located wine display sparingly seasoned by some striking bottles. There is also not an overabundance of televisions, meaning this place is inadequate as a sports bar (which is what it replaced). So, given that evidence, we have yet another Moxies clone that is desperately hoping people won't leave the hotel to search for any better. Heaven forbid they walk thirty feet to Karahi King or Crossroads or walk down the street to Twisted Cork. And if customers have a car, forget it. It's not so much I dislike Cornerstone, it just falls into a category of restaurant that is getting larger and larger, ones I am indifferent to. I could not care about this place. My apathy towards Cornerstone removes any reason to visit it compared to the competition surrounding it. Even the donair and poutine joint across the street is more desirable than this. Cornerstone obviously cost a lot of money, but they phoned in a monotonous menu and dishes lacking any originality. This could be expected of a restaurant under a hotel, the need to pander to the largest demographic resulting in such a compromised menu, yet I have seen better restaurants under lesser hotels. Look at Rockford; look at Hummus Brothers. Granted, those two not that much better than Cornerstone, but they are. Food: 2.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Presentation: 3/5 Value: 2.5/5 Recommendation: 3/5

Cornerstone is now open for breakfast. I'd looked at the menu prior to going so I knew what I…read morewanted. When the waitress approached I ordered immediately and had the food very quickly. The food was quite tasty. I was a bit surprised that the Cornerstone Breakfast had a single strip of bacon and single sausage but the overall meal was adequately filling. The poor review then came after my empty plate was cleared. I sat there for over 10 minutes at an empty table with no bill. I tried to flag the waitress down whenever she was in sight to no avail. I watched her clean 3 tables and top up the coffees at the table next to me. Finally close to 15 minutes later I got her attention, got the bill, barely tipped and left.

We stayed well into the evening, when the music turned up, and really enjoyed the switch from mood-lighting dining to the perfect place to unwind. The salmon stuffed chicken breast was the best gluten free dish I've had in a while! My celiac colleague and I both had it and were very pleased. While there aren't a ton of GF options on the menu, what they do have, they do well.

They have a decent wine selection from BC and a menu that is sure to please any palate. The menu changes, but honestly, whatever you order is full of flavor. I ordered their grilled salmon on a bed of tagliatelle with grilled asparagus. The temperature was good, seasoning was a touch heavy BUT in no way effected my enjoyment of the dish. $38 very worth it. Over the two evenings I spent with The Twisted Cork let's just say I took a little tour of Mike's signature cocktails and I was in foodie Bliss. My favorite was his Elderflower Basil Sour. It was a mix of complex flavors that came together to make an amazing cocktail. Overall, I sampled six of his signature cocktails and learned about the how and why he developed them. His an amazing mixologist. I Highly recommend The Twisted Cork and will def return if I ever find myself in Prince George again
