    a dining room with red chairs

    I came to El Companero to try their brunch menu. When I took my seat and table, I was immediately served with complimentary tortilla chips with medium blended salsa, which was nice. I ordered the Huevos Doblados with Birria Beef. Everything was delicious. The ingredients in the Huevos was fresh and flavourful, with the salsa and guacamole topping being very piquant. Also, the Seasoned Smash Browns is probably the best hashbrowns I have had in a while. The coffee was very good as well. I tried their Bahamas Mama mocktail that was consistently sweet and creamy. The interior design is festive, yet classy-looking, especially since this used to be Antonio's Italian restaurant. The service from the workers is pleasant and professional. So when I am in the mood for Mexican Cuisine, I will come all the way to El Companero rather than Corona's in Mission. That is how great this restaurant is.

    You can't beat the Tuesday all day Happy Hour prices. The service is great and it's clean. Honestly, what more do you want from a Mexican restaurant? I'd definitely recommend this place.

    Fresh salads and chips.

    This place is so cute. It is extremely well decorated and the ambiance is thoughtful yet still traditional and training at the same time. Immediately after sitting down we got the most delicious bowl of fresh salsa and chips which I know is standard at a lot of Mexican places but this was way better than your average restaurant and the quality was amazing. Between the two of us we ordered a taco sampler and Mexi fries.

    I went to this restaurant a long time ago when it was called the Cactus Club. So, this was the…read morefirst time I have come to the Aroma Bistro and thought it was a pretty good experience. Despite being advertised as an Indian restaurant, their menu has a large variety of great menu choices you spend time going through. I ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl with the Pisco Sour cocktail. The drink was strong in sweetness, like the name entails, yet still enjoyed the foamy, bitter taste that accompanies it. The poke bowl was excellent. All the ingredients in the bowl compliments each other in flavour. I really liked the rice and the miso dressing in how it adds to the mixture. Although, a few of the ingredients were a little hard like the avocados. I thought the service was lacking when I noticed one was at the front counter during my arrival, and it was not even busy. I did get a table anywhere in the establishment. The interior look was modern yet upscale with expansive space that are divided into three separate rooms. This restaurant is a great place to eat and socialize and lives up to the lounge aesthetic. I would not mind coming back to eat at the Aroma Bistro.

    Food is good but the staffs are untrained. They told me a week ago that it's open till 1 AM but…read moretoday I ordered from the Uber Eats app at 9:30 PM and although the app let me order they called me and said it's closed, no one's in the kitchen and asked me to cancel the order from the app. Every restaurant in the area cancels the order from their side because if customers do it they get charged regardless. I was never refunded by Uber Eats. And the other day I went in to pick up my order I placed on Doordash, they were asking did you pay? I was like yeah that's how Doordash works, you pay first, so they respond oh I don't know I'm new here. It only tells me their staff is not trained but why do customers have to suffer because of it?

    I am not going to talk about the delicious food here, because that part is already well understood…read more Instead, I want to highlight a few things that, as diners, we often take for granted and sometimes overlook. Consistency I have been coming here randomly about six times since they opened, and that consistency is impressive. Portions are steady, service feels genuine, and every dish arriving at the table shows care. Nothing pretentious, just honest food that makes you smile and feel comfortable. Creativity, done right There is a clear respect for classic dishes, and that is not easy to pull off. The kitchen hits the right notes without overcomplicating things. The cioppino stood out in particular, a humble yet elegant seafood broth I have only ever tried in San Francisco, the birthplace of the dish. The resemblance was remarkable, and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. I felt the same attention in the chowder and even in the cocktails, where every spice and component seems thoughtfully chosen to deliver a specific experience. Care and attention to detail This one is easy to notice. The owner is present, engaged, and clearly invested. You can tell when someone genuinely cares and takes pride in what they are doing, without big fuss or trying to be something they are not. That care carries through the room, the bar, and the overall atmosphere. Comfortable, polished, and welcoming. Point of improvement One small area where the experience could be elevated even further is service etiquette. Simple refinements, such as how drinks are poured or placed on the table, could enhance the customer experience and better match the level of care coming from the kitchen. These are small, easy-to-train details, but they make a noticeable difference. Overall, this is a hidden gem in Abbotsford that deserves to be discovered. A place that earns your trust quietly and keeps you coming back for all the right reasons.

    Great food friendly staff and cute atmosphere. Love the…read moreatmosphere. Kid said was the best Mac and cheese large portions too.

The building is completely renovated inside, it is a modern dark and masculine look. The menu is limited, there is the typical starters, hand heads, pastas, and a variety of meats and 3 desserts. But although the menu says it has options for vegetarian or vegans, it was the subtraction of a sauce or component of the dish not a substitution. It would be great to see more dishes with vegan options in mind. We tried the fried cauliflower, as it is vegetarian friendly and Gf. It is a non spicy cauliflower with light seasoning served with Tzatziki. It is an alternative to calamari, but it could use a spicy dip! Then we ordered the beyond meat burger which was okay, the bun is a little too big for the patty but it was okay. And we also got the Beef Burger, with a gf bun which was a good bun option. The Other Place is a beautiful restaurant that has a lot of potential. I would be amazing to see some bold flavours to expand on what is already there.

    Giving two stars as some of the food was Really good but the other item was a big disappointment,…read moreso it was the response from the management. On DoorDash - we chose to order from this place over other chain restaurants to support our local businesses and what We got was an outstanding Sirloin steak sandwich with truffle fries. And a Burnt -to-hell- Tennessee Original chicken sandwich. So I decided to phone the manager and he kindly offered to amend the mistake by giving me another sandwich but only if I could go to the restaurant and pick it up. I asked if there was any other solutions and o can't drive right now and all I got was a 'we are so sorry' when I ask if he was letting me eat that sandwich he said 'I'm sorry but yes, we are fairly new in the business and we are trying to figure things Out' . Then, trying to get what I paid for I ask for credit or a refund and he said ' the next time you come to the restaurant mention the incident and we'll make sure we got that fixed for you' - HOLD on ! - Really? The next time I come to the restaurant??? Excuse me sir but I don't think I'm ready to set foot on a place like this after this unfortunate first experience. And I can keep going ... He didn't mind to ask for my name, Or contact info, nor to offering his contact or a reference for a future follow up with my complaint. Then I asked for the number of the Owner and he said the owner will be really busy anyways. So I just got his name . But not a way to contact him. C'mon guys! Realize you're in the HOSPITALITY business not only in the food business. If you want people to consider your in the future, CARE about them and listen to them.
