The broth was very salty and I couldn't enjoy the broth as much. I think I've had the creamier ramen which is better.

We were seated outside on the patio as it was the first table available. I didn't really like the table we sat at because it was on a slant and the the table was a bit wobbly so it made both sitting and eating a bit awkward. We shared an appetizer platter so I was able to try the following: - Spring Rolls: Good. Better and lighter than I expected. - Satay: Good/average. - Crispy Wontons: Average Service wasn't great. Rushed, not readily available, and both drinks and food came out fairly slow. Overall, it was ok. Nothing really outstanding in food or service, andexpensive for what we got.

Even though I sent a dish back and the food was average. I'd…read morestill go back. Wanna know why? Ok.... The vibe of this place gets you. I mean it grabs you and whirls you inside only to be met with warm and friendly greetings inside by the Host. The Inside. The floor plan. The energy. The lighting. Imagine a Upper-Class Trendy Gastro-Pub turned Supper Club. That is very rare in Vancouver. So, now that we have the cool vibes and great service out of the way, let talk food..... As we looked through the menu, we noticed the reasonable price scales. Ok....I'll be blunt. Cheaper than the other joints in the Yaletown area. The Calamari. Skip it. Not very good. Too much batter. Too dry and the portion was Happy Hour style. Even though it was not happy hour. Hot Wings. They were just ok. The wings were on a diet and the blue cheese dip tasted watered down. Are you a beer lover? Yes? Skip the House Lager. It won't do it for ya. Get the Stella. Always delivers. While we were at our Appies, and had already place our dinner order we noticed the table next to us ordered the Burgers that looked really good. Once our Steak and Frites arrived and I tasted the steak, I wish I had ordered what our lovely neighbours were munching on. The Steak and Frites was not good. At all. The steak had a crap quality aftertaste and the texture was tough and chewy. But, it didn't end there. It tasted boiled. Yeah....not good. I believe we picked the wrong items off their menu, as many other dishes being served all throughout looked very good. With all of that said. The energy, vibe and service of that place and the best music playing off of a clearly selective and tasteful playlist, and a couple of Stellas afterwards gave me the relax and chill I was so craving for after a long week. I had a realization of this place. I'm glad Ray's opened in Yaletown. Come. Let the place welcome you. Have a nice comfy seat either at one of their upper booths. Lower wooden seaters or the cozy patio. Have a drink. Let the music take you on whatever journey your soul is craving. Have a meal and let them see you off with the same smiles and gratitude they welcomed you with. .....and you get all that without having broken the Bank. And that is why I'd go back to Ray's.

For the last dinner on our Vancouver vacation. I booked seafood-centric Boulevard Kitchen, which is…read morean easy walk from our hotel. It has numerous awards, including award-winning head chef Roger Ma and award-winning pastry chef Kenta Takahashi. The vibe is dark, initiate, but very welcoming too. Very family-friendly restaurant with an elevated kid's menu. Service was friendly and very attentive from all the staff. I was genuinely shocked and pleased that my son enjoyed his kid-sized steak frites. They were cooked medium but had a good amount of pink, but he taste a bit, them some more, and eventually like 80% of the entree. The fries were crispy and not oily at all, which was great. Wife's Miso Sablefish was luxurious - thick, super-moist, and well balanced in sweetness. It came with a crispy fish skin for good measure. Much better than the Butterfish we normally get at Roy's restaurants in the USA. Apparently, many Vancouver seafood restaurants offer some variation of this dish. My Loong Kong Chicken was just average compared to my wife's and son's dishes. The meat was well seasoned, but I learned afterwards that the Loong Kong chicken breed has a thicker, fattier skin and firmer meat than a typical chicken. So it may not be the best choice if you're looking for moistness. Also, the addition of Tzatziki and dill gives some tartness that I did not like as much. My son, after filling up on the steak frites did not want any more chicken either. Other dishes we ordered were the Kid's Rigatoni with cheese and garlic shrimp, Octopus La Plancha, and Broccolini. All are good shareable dishes. We saved room for dessert this time and went for the Jasmine Panna Cotta which has mango and lychee flavors for a nice refreshing end to a protein-rich meal. It's a bit on the smaller side, so in hindsight she should have ordered another richer dessert. Next time.

The short rib stroganoff was deeply savory, rich, tender ribbons of beef folded into wide noodles with plenty of earthy wild mushrooms. It's deeply satisfying, though with all that rich sauce, the last few bites can feel pretty heavy. We also tried the savoury Dutch baby, which had great puffed, crispy edges and a custardy center that held up well against its savory toppings. The cocktail program is just as strong, with well-balanced drinks that don't lean overly sweet. The Service Friendly, down-to-earth, and attentive. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and guided upstairs without any awkward waiting. Drink orders were taken quickly, water was refilled consistently, and our server had honest recommendations when we asked to compare a couple of share plates. Pacing between drinks and hot food felt natural and relaxed. The Ambiance Easily the standout feature of the experience. Set inside a converted heritage house, it feels like dining in a bohemian, antique-filled living room. Between the fringed vintage lamps, dark moody walls, eclectic framed art, and soft amber lighting, the vibe is cozy, quirky, and distinctly romantic. It does get a little dim once the sun sets, and some tables in the smaller rooms are arranged fairly close together, but the character makes up for it.
