    Wanted to love this place but sadly did not. Cute neighborhood bar but very, very small. We got there at 5pm on a weekday and left our names before venturing off to another restaurant nearby (8th in line). We didn't get a text back until 7pm. At that point we made our way back. Restaurant itself is quite charming. Appreciated the complimentary popcorn. We got a glass of red each (the Markus was very nice) and liked the logo on the glasses. We got the charcuterie as a little snack and found it very underwhelming and mediocre for the price point. Getting to the washroom is a little maze and requires a fob.

    I came on a Tuesday night, right after work and arrived at 4:30pm. They were offering their "happy hour" from 4-5pm and it was a fun menu. I know their venue is a little bit small, but I had such a fantastic time with me and my friend on the wine and their food menu. I dove right into the place with a half carafe of their red wine for the night. Their house red wine is a bottle of Cerejeiras, from Portugal and it was a very comfy red. I could literally sit in front of the TV and finish this bottle easily. And when I saw down, I was offered a small plate of popcorn to start off the night. It was perfect and a great entry snack while having some wine. It felt like I have arrived home. I look around the venue for a bit, and then looked at their offering. I loved the little menu, stamped and printed on a simple piece of paper. I heard so much about their house made bread with cultured butter, I had to order some to start off my night. Sitting right at bar, I kept seeing how busy they were and all the action of their tsuedo open kitchen. It is small, but a very strong one. You can see Chef Jorge going at it all night as he passes the food to the servers and the swift movement of him moving about. As I waited, I smelt the bread coming from the oven, with a good simple browning of the edges and a very soft, fluffy inside of each slice. I ate the first slice with some butter, and the emmaculate saltiness and savoury of the butter was amazing. It was creamy and perfectly doused with salt all over the plate. Simple but delicious. 4/5 Waiting for my friend arrived, I went ahead and ordered the pil pil prawns with smoked chili oil and garlic crunch. Once my friend had arrived and I poured him a glass of the red, we dove right into the shirmp. It was plated like a small mountain, and the chili oil looking like a bright red snow as it dripped down. I cut the prawn and smelled the smokiness of the chili oil, amazing. The perfectly cooked prawn was bouncy but yet not hard. And the chili oil is just carrying the whole plate. I wish I had some more of that bread to dip into that chili oil. 5/5 We then ordered their variation of the bagna cauda with seasonal veggies. Very simple but divine. Their Bagna cauda tasted like a variation of the chili oil, but made it creamy and a hint of paprika. Their seasonal veggies were endives, white beets and some brocolini. Love how the bagna cauda mixed well with the bitterness of each veggie. A good plate, but as the season changes, I hope their bagna cauda changes to match the veggies. 4/5 The last plate blew me away, the Ricotta Gnocchi is just spectacular. I love how each gnocchi is extremely pillowy and their butter base, confit garlic and lemon was the perfect cut to the flavours of the abundence snow of ricotta cheese on top. Would 100% recommend this gnocchi. 6/5 I had a fantastic visit and I love this place a lot. Will be adding this as a must visit spot in Vancouver and an amazing time was spent here. Thank you Tom and the staff here. Such a good little snack bar~!!

    Tried a few things from their menu (pork belly, charcuterie board, house bread) and all were good - it's a place to go for drinks and a nibble, not necessarily a full meal.

    Cute lil date spot! My review is only wine and dessert as we came here after my husband's bday…read moredinner for a nightcap. We both ordered red wines to start which we both enjoyed. Good wine list! Hubby switched to a negroni that he liked and I had more wine but this time late night happy hour had started which was a nice treat! We ordered the Dolce de leche dessert and the kitchen was lovely and gave us both desserts on the menu as a bday treat. The rice dessert was incredible - it was like sticky toffee pudding but with a rice base. The caramel sauce was killer! It blew the dolce dessert outta the water. The service was also kind and attentive! The music choices were odd for our night, I love vinyl and collect it myself but just wasn't feeling the vibes that evening, it was a lot of house style music and the same beat over and over with no lyrics. Some folks loved it tho and had asked to move closer to the speaker so to each is own. The tables are also really close to your neighbor so you catch quite abit of convo around you and it's a touch distracting especially when it starts to get little loud as the room is small. It was fun to people watch though.

    I'm so split on Bar Gobo. Small but mighty wine selection including natural wines…read more We went in considering the prix fixe menu thats $65 per person but ended up ordering off the menu to try the things we wanted to as we weren't sure if the prix fixe menu would include all that piqued our interest. Ordering style was interesting, after we ordered our small plates we were ready to select our main courses but the staff just took our menu away and we had to ask another server to put in our main entrees. I understand they were busy so they may have assumed we were done ordering but it was a bit of an off putting experience. Overall food was good, the bread was divine. The highlight item for us was the tuna tar tar with chinese donuts, the chili crips totally brought the dish together. Everything else was pretty good, but wasn't amazing as I hoped. The citrus notes in the canton noodles threw me off and the chicken liver mochi balls felt more like a dessert dish than an appetizer for some reason. Highlight was having the DJ also be one of the servers!! Love the vibes that Bar gobo had, definitely a good date spot. Will have to come try it out again next season.

    We were a table of 4. My friend and my birthday are so close together that we both decided to come…read morehere as a celebration for our birthday. We started off with some drinks. I got the mocktail Spicy Daisy $14 and B got the Mermaid Purse $19. The Spicy Daisy was very delicious and had a nice kick of ginger flavor. B said his Mermaid purse was good but not worth $19 good. It tasted like a regular cocktail. For food I ordered the beef tartare $22 to share with B. The beef tartare was delicious. What B and I liked the most was the chips that went with the beef tartare. The chips tasted like it was made in-house. The portion size of the beef tartare was pretty good. For entrée, I got the seared trout $34 and B got the Bavette (6oz) $52. The seared trout came with greens and the greens were amazing. The greens had more flavor than the trout. The seared trout itself was not. The Bavette was amazing. The sauce was very very delicious. The wagyu was cooked to perfection. It came with fries and the fries were very tasty. Out of all the items, I say the Bavette was a must try item. B then finished it off with the Beach Radler $8. The beer here are average price of anywhere else. Because my friend and I are celebrating our birthday here, we each got a Rhubarb Tart. I really enjoyed the tart. It wasn't anything special but it was definitely a nice treat. The entire bill for Brandon and I came to $160 before tips. The food was amazing here. I highly recommend trying. The atmosphere was gorgeous and cozy. The place is very small and getting a reservation was not easy. The place was super packed when we arrived at 6:30 pm. I do know the restaurant opens quite late and I am guessing the later you arrive the higher the chance of getting a table for the day. If you want to come here for dinner than a reservation is required. Also you do have to put down a deposit for the reservation online.

They've a lovely patio facing the seawall, and especially in the summer, it looks so inviting, and patrons often bring their dogs, and I just love the whole vibe. In the winter, too, it always looks like people are enjoying themselves here, with the warm lighting and twinkling lights. Since this wine bar is attached to the restaurant Provence, I've often passed here and heard live jazz musicians and singers who perform certain nights of the week, and man, they sound GOOD. It just always felt like this would be a super place to mellow out, have a glass of good wine, relax with friends, either on a summer day or at night, any season. I finally got to check it out in person today. I went with a friend for a drink mid-day, sitting outside. The weather was lovely, and it was a perfect day. Carmen was our server and she was great. I appreciated how knowledgable she was regarding all the wine and cocktail selections. My friend had a glass of white wine which she loved, and I had an amazing cocktail with lavender and rose. They have a decent happy hour selection which, unfortunately, we were too early to partake of. Their regular wine menu is extremely extensive. What a great neighborhood place! Will definitely return.

    I ate instead of drinking only this time. I came for dinner. See my pics…read more I don't have liquid dinners or lunches all the time. Really, I don't. You'd think I have alcohol in my veins or something. The food is good and very reasonably priced. I'll have to eat during their happy hour sometime. I know I'll be back. Pro tip: The Sterling Vinyards merlot is the bomb.

This was fine with us since the goal was to have a couple of drinks and stuff ourselves with some burgers and fries from Hundy (the burger joint we needed to go through to get to Stock Room). I started with the dangerous liaison cocktail (beefeater gin, peach, lemon, sugar, butterfly pea flower). This was a solid drink, refreshing and hit the spot. My second drink was spreadsheet (beefeater, st. germain, lime, strawberry syrup, green strawberry bitters). I enjoyed this drink better as it wasn't too sweet and the flavor profile was more to my taste when it comes to cocktails. I'm happy to have found another bar to add to my list of places to grab a good drink in Vancouver.
