From the moment we arrived it was a very special experience! Seated with friends in a beautiful alcove with a view of the River. The menu was greatly anticipated. From the welcome to the bread course- oh my goodness can I have bone marrow butter every day?!? It was a feast for the eyes and palate! Lobster and scallop dish with french bubbles, wagyu tartar with a beautiful French Pinot from Burgandy, a clementine palate cleanser that I may dream about. But the show stopper- the A5 wagyu?!? The absolute best ever- we have been disappointed so many times with so called wagyu- this was the real deal- cooked to perfection! And my husband would have eaten the sauce with a spoon!!!! Another fabulous red. Dessert was a magic apple looking Black Forest cake! I am forgetting parts- but the meal and experience was extraordinary! Highly recommend! Add this to your list of places to eat for a wonderful experience. Definitely choose the dining room! Or the patio if the weather is nice!!!

To be honest - I am bit torn writing this review after going with my best friend for a celebration…read more I am not a big fan of the sales tactic of making a table order drinks - when they seat you they give you the drink menu and say "your food menu will come soon". The problem is ... we were then sitting awkwardly at our table for about 8-13 minutes before we were then given the food menu. We did note that tactic was used for all tables as that must be their servicing house rules and not server specific. While we did order drinks we enjoy them ~with~ our food, they also took awhile to come. You check in at the front and there is a small dining section than mirrored hallway walk to the bigger dining section where you can see the kitchen. I found the plates cheap looking in nature. It didn't match the aesthetic and prestige that this restaurant is trying to uphold. Feels very disconnected in nature. On to the dishes/drinks ordered: Warm bread: expensive at $9. Passable but I imagine people order this while drinking so an easy order for the table. Pork belly: this is S W E E T. While the menu noted it is made with a black cherry gastrique we underestimated how thick and sweet this would be (we had both had pork chop/duck entrees that had or featured a cherry demi glace). It covered the entirety of the tender pork belly and made it unappetizing to us both because of the dessert heavy flavouring was so overpowering. It felt like it was missing the acid/vinegar component to offset the sweetness. When our server checked in with us we were honest with our feedback and he then got the house manager involved and was able to "switch" out the appetizer. They both had recommended the risotto so we went with that in replacement. Risotto: good flavour but even for an appetizer I think it is alarmingly small for the price point. I think the risotto could be offered with a protein and be successful as its own spot for an entree. Roasted beef Wellington (comes with 2 sides glazed root vegetables and potato puree) - this was the main reason and excitement drawing us to this restaurant. It was cooked amazingly. Beautifully tender. Vegetables were just roasted carrots - they were fine but we thought there'd be more of a variety. Potato puree - also fine. Mac & cheese: forgettable. Not sure why there were green peppers in it. Brussel sprouts: good addition. Sticky toffee pudding: great for its sweetness. If I ordered again I would ask for the sauce on the side. Notes from Gordon: tasted very floral and perfume like. I found the presentation a bit too "casual" for $20 A diving bell: spicier than we had thought but it was fine. There were a lot of serves/bussers around and we could tell the restaurant was not particularly busy and because we were seated right beside the kitchen it just felt awkward being around groups of talking staff. This was especially amplified when we had empty plates/drinks to be removed and water glasses that could use refilling but neither were being tended to. One busser served us from the right side moving our lamp out of the way, with her thumb in the veggie bowl and when famously should be done by the left and because we were sitting the closest to the kitchen it felt lazy to serve across us and move the lamp than to come on the "freer" side of the table. Bussers were also not ... pleasant or welcoming? So while we had good service from our server and house server it felt uneven when others were delivering all the dishes monotonously. This did not hit the mark for us at a $325~ dining experience. It left us underwhelmed.

Back again and I've removed one star only for the horribly rude hostess we interfaced with tonight…read more She not only removed our wine glasses immediately upon seating us and said "I assume no wine?" Why would you assume that? lol She gave us major attitude when we politely asked for a high chair for our daughter. Beyond this bad start, our server, the bartender, and food were amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Silk road was citrusy and just tart enough without being too sour. The beef tartare was delicious and the shrimp tempura was perfectly breaded. I also loved the karage, both sauces were refreshing and delightful in their own way. Overall, we had a great night. Please get better hosts! They aren't a good reflection of the overall experience!

They offered to split our lobster bisque so we could each have our own. We've also tried their tableside salad and desserts before and enjoyed the shows. My toddler wanted to get a closer look. The ambience is moody with high ceilings, low lighting, and plush seats. There is a constant buzz of conversations around us to provide a bit of intimacy and privacy to our conversations, while also allowing our toddler to be just a bit rowdy without feeling like we are disturbing the other guests. Of the food, I love the mushroom side with the truffle fondue. I wanted to dip everything in it as it was so flavourful and delicious. Complimentary bread with butter and blue cheese butter were offered to start. The brussel sprouts side was also unique with the added pistachios and a crisp for some crunch. The hearty mussels and clams starter were great for a rainy evening. Portion was enough as a meal by itself, too! There is a covered parking lot for those driving. I suggest making reservations as it can be quite busy!

Located at the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, free parking available in the casino lot across the street, but be warned that it's dirty as hell & smells terrible. Atlas Steak & Fish, is a supreme restaurant via looks, decor, lighting, seating, piano bar, table service, excellent waiters, food presentation & more. I ordered an Atlas Old Fashioned & let me tell you - WOW! Truly one of the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. (Bulleit 10yr bourbon, charred rosemary-maple syrup, aromatic bitters, cacao bitters served smoked over a 2" ice cube) The complimentary bread & butter was delightful. Our waitress Marina was fantastic. Our dinner consisted of Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Halibut & Lobster Risotto & the Tomahawk Pork Chop. Everything tasted splendid & knocked it out of the ball park. For dessert, get the Baked Alaska - it is absolutely sensational! The table service is spectacular - see my video clips. Make a reservation & get here ASAP!

Not just my dishes, I asked around and about half of the others' dishes were lukewarm as well. Deposit required for large groups and no split bills which is totally understandable. FYI no balloons allowed but they're okay to serve cake. PEI New York Striploin 10oz horseradish butter + fried negi ($38) Not a super great cut, difficult to chew. Gravy tastes like the powdered version off the shelf. Wish it was hotter when served. Slow Braised Beef Cheek + Foie Gras mashed potato + grilled broccolini + triple pepper cream ($49) Mashed potatoes were hot, yay! Everything else not so much. 2 pieces of foie gras. Beef cheek was quite tender. Broccolini triple pepper jus + pecan ($14) Slightly colder than lukewarm, with the same powdered gravy. I liked the pecan though. Service was okay, they served some of the cocktails all on one side, and I had to distribute down the table to find the owner of the drink. Staff don't know who ordered what, which I was a little surprised. Decor is dimly lit, trying to go for a chic sophisticated look. I enjoyed the atmosphere and high ceilings and the concept of the place, but the main event (food) was a let down.

We heard a lot of good things about Hestia's dine out menu, which is $48 for three courses. We…read moredidn't get to try them during the dine-out period. However, they extended the dine out period till Feb 28, so we took the chance. The restaurant is tucked inside a quiet mall. It is dark with walls decorated with wine bottles and quirky paintings. I chose their Bone Marrow + wagyu Tartare for starter, Crab + Prawn Rigatoni for main, and smoked caramel cheesecake for dessert. The starter and dessert were alright, not particularly impressive. The Crab + Prawn Rigatoni was delicious. There was a decent amount of crab meat and prawns. The sauce was supposed to be salted duck yolk cream, but it didn't taste like salted duck yolk at all to me. However, it was still pretty good. It was creamy and rich, and went well with the seafood and pasta. The portion was generous and the pasta became a bit too salty in the last few bites. Two of my friends ordered the 2-scope ice-cream for dessert and the server let us know early on that the flavors would come randomly (there were 4 flavors on the menu). One of my friends asked if she could get peach cream yogurt for both scoops. The server was pretty helpful and said she'll see what she can do but no guarantee. While we had our main course, we saw other tables all had chocolate ice-cream + peach cream yogurt as dessert so we figured they were the two flavors of the day. At the end, the server did give my friend two scoops of peach cream yogurt. However, my other friend got two scoops of chocolate ice-cream instead of both flavors! We appreciated that the server tried her best to satisfy one of us' request! But it was by sacrificing the other's interest! My other friend didn't really mind but it was pretty hilarious! Overall I think the dine out menu was a great deal. This restaurant was comfortable and was a good place for friends to catch up and hang out.

Their food was really good, truffle fries are quite rich and flavourful, same with the beef carpaccio. I don't think the menu mentions it comes with these sliced toasted baguettes which were topped with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Service was slightly disappointing as our service was quite flat. Two instances, both not the fault of our server, but the bar had a friend a drink in a dirty glass, she ordered a clear drink but it was brown tinged, and had a weird flavour. Multiple people at the table tried it before we told the server that it seemed off. It was slightly off putting, but our server went back and got a new one for my friend. Second thing, they said they updated their POS so for some reason the person who had the most alcoholic drinks had been put in with a really high autogratuity, but it was strange because everyone else at the party had the regular autograt of 20% I believe and the only person who was drunk ended up getting 30% or something of the sort. Our server again, amazing and took care of it working with the manager who fixed it and came to apologize but the optics of that only happening to the one drunk person if the party, well you know. Kinda left an unsatisfactory taste in everyone's mouths regarding the service. Food was still great and so was our server, and the manager who came to personally apologize about the issue.
