The service was 5 star thanks to Annie and at least 4 others who brought us our food and made sure we were well taken care of. Our food was great despite the lack of warning about how hot the hot chicken is lol. From what we were told it is also NOT their hottest dish. Receipts come with 20% Mallard ice cream which we quickly redeemed. I throughly enjoyed my 1 Piece Fried Meal (fried chicken cutlet) which had the most amazing (only slightly spiced) warmed honey which I drenched everything with. The biscuit was DREAMY!! If I could offer one bit of advice be sure to check out the side dishes on the backside of the menu. I think the macaroni would have made an amazing appetizer. Next time!

The Ribeye Steak was tender and full of the perfect mix of flavors...meaty, salt and pepper, fat, and butter...grilled to perfection! We shared a sumptuous Marble Cheesecake, feeling oh so good. Great ambience, super service, generous portions with creative plating, mouth-watering selections, and a great Bistro! Go!!!

The service was very friendly and attentive. We were given a free desert, how nice! The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the Char Su Pork for an appetizer, I had the steak and my husband had the fresh fish. For desert the peach cobbler. The carrots and potatoes on my steak plate were very yummy. The bad... The Char Su Pork I would not recommend. I had no idea that it was bbq pork (served cold) and the plate did not make sense. It hit my stomach like a lead balloon. The steak was a little underwhelming. The dessert I would not order, it was total cinnamon overload. The ugly... No live jazz! We were looking forward to that. Please call ahead to confirm if thats something that you are wondering about.

The place was a bit small to bring many friends to dine in. So, it is a good place for take out. I took out half beef ribs with mixed veggies. I chose medium for sauce but it was still too strong for me. And mix veggie was okay. But ribs were FANTASTIC! You are not a person if you don't find it tasty lol Their service was very friendly, too. They even wrote "THX" in the take out box and it was very nice of them to do so. I will definitely come back next time

Other than that one scary incident we had nearly 10 years ago...service and food has always been incredible, including my latest experience. Annalena is probably of my favourite fine dining restaurants in Vancouver. Servers are attentive and super friendly and welcoming. Water was continuously topped up. I think our servers name this time was Paysley? *sp* Everything on the set menu was generally quite delicious! The classic bread,the oyster shaved foie gras and off the coast (various iterations) (add caviar) will always have a place in my heart. For my most recent experience, the standout for me would be: Bait and Switch and the What am I? Pasta dish! Loved the whimsical naming of said dish! The riddle was quite fun. The filo for the fruit lottery was so good. In terms of minor critique (room for improvement): All That Follows - the idea is neat, texture and flavours were there. But the slice of lettuce was perhaps not the best and left a bit of a bitter aftertaste in my mouth I didn't quite enjoy. Slow and Low- it's good, but sauce was overpowering the beautiful taste of the Wagyu beef itself. (Wagyu = add'l cost) Chevrolet - definitely a great desert for goat cheese/ goat milk lovers. I can see them raving about this dish. But personally, I wish they had an alternative choice for people that aren't huge fans of goat cheese/ goat milk though. Still gotta love my regular cows dairy. I guess I'm basic. Oh... and for the Cryo Cookie at the end... if the cola flavour can be even more pronounced! It would definitely be a showstopper. And congratulations on the October 2026 upgraded Michelin status to 2 stars. Annalena, definitely a foodie's paradise.

Here are my thoughts: - Beef Brisket: Good. As far as BBQ in Vancouver goes, it's above average. The meat is tender, the right amount of seasoning, but the smoke isn't noticeable. - Pulled Pork: OK. I liked that it wasn't completely shredded pulled pork, It was "chunky" so eating it felt more substantive. I didn't think it needed the extra sauce - I felt it was overpowering the meat. - Cornbread: Bad. Didn't finish it. - Fries: Good. Came out hot and fresh, and plenty of seasoning. Service was straight-forward and it checked all the boxes. Overall, the food was generally somewhat better than average when it comes to BBQ in Vancouver, but doesn't compare to the subtle complexity of the BBQ from the Southern USA. It's probably unfair to make the comparison, but I feel it's important for visitors to have the right expectations walking in.
