We went for lunch on a Tuesday. Only one waitress due to almost no one being in there--one table of…read morefour was leaving and another table of two was nearly done, then us. After both tables emptied a single person came in and sat down--he didn't use a menu so he appeared to be a regular. We ordered one salmon dip appetizer which tasted good but was mostly cheese. The disappointment came with both our entrees. The Blazing BBQ Burger patty was overcooked and dry--no pink inside--and not a drop of juice. The BBQ sauce and Thousand Island-type dressing on the top bun did not help the dryness. The flavors of the jalapeño bacon, ghost pepper cheese chile relleno and BBQ sauce were a good choice. Overall the burger was just OK. Never ordering this again. The second entrée was a French Dip. A good portion of beef and a plentiful amount of au jus. The French Fries for both entrees were the bomb. We will come back again to try again.

We arrived 10 minutes early and the hostess said we wouldn't get acknowledged til the exact time of our reservation but we would be seated..I looked around and there was only 3 other tables..not busy at all it was a weird encounter right out the gate, which made us nervous about the rest of our experience. We sat awkwardly in the quiet a restaurant for the 10 whole minutes. Then our server created us he was bubbly and knowledgeable honestly the 3 stars are more for him doing a great job. The food was OK the burger my husband really liked it was giant, my seabass was a little under cooked, but I was able to get the garlic herb butter on it instaid of the mandarin sauce which I was thankful about. All in all it was OK nothing to rave about and I still think about the hostess awkwardness upon arrival

Seating is typically for 4 but they made adjustments for our 6 person party which was really nice. The staff were incredibly friendly. It's definitely on the louder side, so I think our waiter had a difficult time hearing us, which made for a funny scenario. I saw some other review complain about the volume, and although it is loud, it really isn't the fault of the restaurant which I think makes for an unfair review. Food was great, I had the blackened teriyaki bowl w/ chicken. I will say portion size could be a little bigger. I got extra chicken in mine, and to be honest it felt like a regular portion of chicken? so I can only imagine the regular would feel quite small. The rest of the table had the tuna poke, which looked great, but again maybe light on the tuna? and the Calabrian Hot Honey pizza, which I thought was fantastic. Great balance of spicy and sweet!

There's always seats if you don't go in the summer, as I see some people brave the cold and enjoy their drinks right outside, but we wanted to be warm so we took one of the last tables and eventually moved to the bar seats. We happened to go during the Orcas Island Film Festival so we decided to try some cocktails in that theme. One of them was the Harlem Renaissance which was inspired by Once Upon a Time in Harlem, and we opted for a $2 add on of smoke which was well worth the additional flavors. This cocktail was really interesting as it comes with a candy cig with ashtray for a fun little drink The other we got was Frou Frou which is fruity and light, inspired by "Coward". I found this refreshing yet not as innovative as the Harlem Renaissance. One slight miss is that some ice were a bit too crushed so it dilutes the drink quite a bit, but the drink is so flavorful and strong that I didn't really mind all that much for this drink For fun, we also tried the Underberg which is a digestif bitters which is incredibly bitter but herbal, kind of like a jagermeister. It apparently helps with digestion if you overconsume. It was an experience and worth the $5

I was the only there since it was 1pm on a Monday after all. Was about to grab to an Old Fashion after looking at their online menu, but was then told that they did flights so that's what I got. The flight; You choose six from a list of about 15. They do primarily vodka, but they do have some whiskey, gin, and even am Absinthe. I was very happy with all 6 and would order them again. I won't really go into any detail about each spirit since everyone has their own preference when it comes to alcohol. What I can say is that their Old Fashioned Spirit was my favorite. The service: The person working at the time was really friendly and helpful. Willing to answer questions about the spirits and make recommendations. The distillery: It's small and due to Covid Protocols they're only accepting 6 people in the building; however, they have a lot of outdoor space to enjoy. Their pick-up truck bar is the most eye catching so that's where we sat. I'd 100% come back here and if I lived in Langley I'd probably make this place one of my go to hangouts.

Lavender?? No, just some slightly amber gin that I can't even mix with anything. Whitley Niell makes a great Parma Lavender Gin that I first tried in a cocktail in Portsmouth UK. It isn't sold in Canada anymore unfortunately and was only for a short period. That was the reason I snapped up the Roots and Wings gin but I am resigned to using it for cleaning. I did try some of their other products and only the Abisnstine impressed me. I would have loved to have given a great review of their liquor but that wasn't possible. Drinking their cocktails is a different thing as they have a great mixologist. My advice- visit them, get a sample before buying, and buy only what tastes good to you. Everyone has different tastes.

Each used n/a spirits (n/a mezcal in the latter) and a symphony of sophisticated ingredients, which wish I tell you what. Each had a speared dried citrus slice and a luscious ginger bite (or something!) a top. The first had included honey, but it wasn't sweet--just complexified with a little snap to it that the honey smoothed; the second was a little sweeter in tone, including a bit of huckleberry along with the mezcal. (Connor might recall them by my play name for them. Inspired by a book in my hand on collecting meteorites, I nicknamed the first the "Extraterrestrial Visitor" and the second the "Heavenly Visitor.") They were so delicious I suggested he put them on the menu. If he does or doesn't, no matter. Just ask him if he has time to get creative for you. He'll ask you flavor tone preferences, or you can just go for whatever he wants to make, like I did. Again, he is excellent. I enjoyed my lovely drinks with a Caesar salad (another OMG!) which included crispy bacon bits and loads of tiny shreds of a delicious white cheese along with a creamy dressing. It was scrumptious as was the very lovely charcuterie plate. Pistachios, green apple slices, fat outstanding Castelvetrano olives (caution: with pits), a luscious pepper jelly that went beautifully dipped into with their choice of excellent crackers, delicately flavored salami and a prosciutto so elegantly-flavored it could make you weep. And it was lovely enjoying it all on their "porch" on a sunny day.
