Cozy Bar & Grill With Festive Vibes And Plenty Of Seating…read more Red Lion Bar & Grill West Vancouver is one of my favourite eateries on the North Shore. Open everyday from 11:30am-10:30pm serving familiar and delicious British meals, draft beers, and cocktails. They offer plenty of indoor and patio seating. They also have a very cozy fireplace which you can sit around with friends and enjoy a glass of wine. If you are lucky you might be able to enjoy your meal with live music Happy hour is from 3-6pm and 9pm-closing We tried: Deep Fried Calamari $23.50 Baked Brie $24.00 Red Lion Burger $19.50 Cod Fish & Chips $26.50 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Parking 4.5/5 (free street parking) Service (it took them ~10 minutes to bring the menu and ~20 minutes to come back and take our order)

The bun was nicely toasted and held together well (which isn't always the case with gluten-free options), and the chicken itself was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with flavour. It came out hot and was served with a side of fresh fries that complemented it perfectly. The only downside was finding a small chicken bone in my sandwich. I let the staff know, and while it didn't completely ruin the experience, it's definitely something worth noting. Overall, it's a great spot for a tasty meal and I'd still come back, just with a bit more caution next time.

I've not stayed here this late, but it is open until 1am and I think you need to be with a Hollyburn member to savor a brew in the pub. The space accommodates groups well and the interior is nicely maintained. I'd liken it to a modernized and refurbished English pub with walls of glass. Service is courteous, prompt, and respectful. If you know a member, twist their arm and make them take you!

Elizabeth at the bar was very attentive. I ordered the soup of the day, a single piece of battered fish (instead of a full fish and chips), and a beer. They have a good beer selection and some cans to-go. I also ordered a tea. I was able to charge my electronics and work on my laptop a bit. Overall, I recommend the place! There were lots of TVs playing Olympics when I went. They had booth seating, high tables, and bar stools. Looks like a good neighborhood bar/conveniently located for anyone else like me waiting for the ferry!

We were tempted by the nacho order that went by our table, but instead ordered the maple bourbon wings. 12 to an order. Very tasty, but not very large. Perfect for a snack. Love the tavern vibe, great music and ability to watch baseball. Service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry. NOTE: The signs outside all say Lennox Pub!

They only serve their hot brunch on a weekend, as during the week there is no chef available so it's the pastries and such in the window on offer. We enjoy their brunch offerings, finding them reasonably priced and overall quite tasty. I often get the big breakfast type dish with eggs, bacon etc. They had waffles at one stage that the kids loved but that doesn't seem to be available all the time. We can't go past a pancake on the side, as they're so tasty and cheap! Pancakes all round! ($2 each last time we were there). We enjoy coming here for consistent quality in a different setting. Service can be a little slow at times, though friendly, but they're a small, popular location with minimal staff covering the demand. There's also a small bodega type shop if you wanted to grab premade items or less common snacks. If you come in earlier on a weekend, getting a seat shouldn't be a problem. There's also a nice patio to enjoy the sunny days on. Pretty sure I've seen a few dogs here in the past. They do a good hot brunch which I'd recommend if you're in the area or posting through.

I'm an eggplant lover so when it comes to Persian restaurants, Bademjan has long been my "go to"…read moredish. It typically has meat in it so I've had it a lot less ever since I became Pescatarian. When I read the menu for Miraas online and saw that they had a Vegetarian version of Bademjan, I knew I had to try this restaurant! I came here on a Thursday evening with my mom and we ordered the following: Mirza Ghasemi (Smoked Eggplant Dip) Breaded Shrimps Veggie Mosamma Bademjan The Mirza Ghasemi appetizer came with one piece of bread which my mom and I split into half. It was a warm and tasty appetizer. I was a bit surprised at how quickly it was served to us, but found no fault with the dish and sooner is better than later. With only one piece of bread for this appetizer, there was plenty leftover to bring home afterwards. Mom's Breaded Shrimps dish was super crispy. It was basically like a Prawn Tempura in a Japanese restaurant but a lot crispier than that. I think my daughter would love this dish and will have to bring her to this restaurant so she can order it for herself sometime. My Veggie Mosamma Bademjan was served with a very generous portion of Tahdig (Crispy Persian Rice) and it was the most beautiful plate of Tahdig I have ever seen. I've seen basic versions of Tahdig online. A basic version would be white rice on the bottom with a golden crust on top. This one had the white rice and golden crust on top, along with a sprinkling of dried barberries, something green (pistachio or pumpkin seeds?), and grains of dark pink rice scattered around the edge of the plate. It was so colourful and quite the sight to behold. Service could have been a bit better. Our server wasn't rude or anything like that. Just that I felt like I had to constantly stick my hand up and wave it in the air to get attention. Would have been nice if our server had simply been more attentive to us, without me having to wave my hand in the air. Food was awesome though. We will definitely come back again sometime.

The patio itself is in a beautiful spot and they've added patio heaters, which makes it comfortable even when it's a bit cooler outside. The food was good overall, and the menu is what you'd expect from Earls -- solid options with something for everyone. Unfortunately, the patio cleanliness took away from the experience. When we sat down, there was bird poop on my cutlery and water glass, which meant I had to ask the manager to replace them. After that, they brought out another glass that had bird poop on it. So, I also had to ask for the entire table setting to be refreshed so everyone had clean utensils and glasses. To make matters worse, there was bird poop on the couch cushion as well. I understand patios can be tricky with birds around, but it did feel like the table area should have been checked and cleaned before seating guests. Overall, it's still a nice patio, dog-friendly, and the food was good, but I'd recommend the staff do a more thorough check of the outdoor seating before guests are seated to avoid situations like this. The patio heaters and location are definitely nice perks, though.
