    Iced matcha latte with oat milk
    TJ R.

    Beautiful location along the waterfront at Ambleside Parking is available along the street Seating both inside and put Many food and beverage offerings My date had a Croissant sandwich which was delightfully toasted and delicious My iced matcha was excellent. I loved that it was unsweetened and available with oat milk. My date had an iced Chai latte that was good. Service very friendly.

    This has become my go to place for coffee and pastries in Ambleside area on Sunday mornings. It is a popular place for locals and cyclists. The flat white is decent and the eggs benny (available for weekend brunch) with prosciutto are yummy. With covid-19, everything is served in to go boxes. It is a great place for a bit of food, coffee and people watching if seated outside. It does not matter too if there is nowhere to dine in as the park is right outside and you can get an even better view of the water over there.

    I know, I know... when you think Crema, right away you think great coffee - but now you'll think great pizza as well!!! YES!!! The mushroom pizza was the best pizza I've ever had - and I've had the mushroom pizzas at Nook and Bufala. Sooo effin good! We had the mushroom pizza and the margarita pizza and both were deliciously amazing. The place looks great. The renos make sense. Staff still as friendly as before. And now they make great pizzas. So now Crema's not just a place to stop and get coffees, but a place to grab lunch as well.

    An excellent coffee shop frequented by locals in the Ambleside area. Great place to drop by after hitting the Sea Walk. Coffee, cakes and light lunch are all very good here. My favorite cake is the lemon tart which has just the right sweetness combined with a well balanced lemon flavor. Cappuccino is made just perfectly here. Sandwiches are small in portion or lady sized, but are fresh and tasty. Delightful atmosphere!

    Beautiful space, lots of tables, very busy, and lots of options for food and drinks. Food and specialty descriptions were lacking on the menu, but would be helpful in discerning choices without holding up the line when ordering. Ended up getting a little buddy (americano) and a crema (since its their cafe name and specialty drink). Little buddy is an americano that has less water than their regular americano so is supposed to be stronger and have more flavor (all are the same price) but it tasted watery. Crema didnt have much flavor nor espresso in it - also tasted watery tho had pretty coffee art on it. Sandwich (duo) came toasted and was good. Great texture to the bread, blend of meat and fillings and enjoyed this but was still hungry afterwards. Wish I had tried the pizza (special 2 for $29). That looked really good - will skip the coffee next time and try the pizza. Drink prices seem to be rather high, but the food prices seem decent.

    I've been here a number of times when I'm in the area. Great coffee & pastries. Its a nice little stop if you're walking down Ambleside seawall or doing a little shopping. Seating outside on a nice day or plenty of seats inside if you need warming up. Great for people watching!

    Yummy! Turkey sandwich :-)

It's on the 14th floor of the hotel and can be closed off if the weather isn't accommodating, which is nice. We went for cocktails because we heard they have amazing craft cocktails, and they do. Let me start with the service because if the service isn't good, it's a wrap for me. No worries though because service was amazing. From the hostess stand to the bartender, top notch. Chris was our expert craft bartender. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was friendly. He kindly explained the menu and the associated cocktails. I wanted a caipirinha which was not on the menu but he made it for me and let me know what was comparable on the menu. My husband ordered the chapter II shots, which were a flight of cocktails from different regions (Bahamas, Spain, Philippines, and Chile) from around the world. I loved my caipirinha (9/10) and my husband enjoyed the flight (10/10). I also had the Tropicalia, which was a rum based drink with cachaca and tropical fruits. I asked Chris to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet, which he gladly accommodated. It was good but I preferred the original caipirinha. I highly recommend Levantine if you're in the downtown Vancouver area.

I would recommend their Mezze selection - everything on there is delicious. The Fried Halloumi (cheese) was also good and unique because I don't see that in many others. As for the entree, must get the whole branzino!! It was the best dish. It was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. The group also enjoyed the steak. I didn't care for prawn. The prawn was slightly overcooked and tasted bitter to me.

There is definitely at least one back room, but the main dining room is a bright, airy space that has access to a patio where may even be some live music playing. The tables are gorgeous - all live edge, which might create a bit of an issue if you have short arms and are used to stealing bites across the table, but they are absolutely beautiful and a nice nod to the area. The wine list is extensive and a bit overwhelming, but the service is happy, friendly, and very knowledgeable. In fact, I love when servers don't know, admit it, and find the answer for you - it's humble and shows they really care at getting you what you want. We got the orange wine, which is a new favorite of mine. It's like a rose for reds. Rose:White::Orange:Red. More savory, still light, and best chilled. We had the beet hummus app, which is definitely best eaten with your hands. It's light and delicious. We had the miso black cod, a personal favorite, and the lasagna for dinner and while both were good, the accoutrements with the cod were the true standout. Amazing and I could probably eat two of them. As the restaurant operates on a seasonal menu, we had a strawberry rhubarb cobbler for dessert. I know there is Sunday Brunch, and I can't wait to try it. It's not the cheapest, but it's one of the nicer restaurants in Whatcom, and is definitely worth your pennies. Everything about it makes for a truly nice experience, and we'll definitely be back.
