    Veg spring rolls

    This is our go to place for good eating ! They have A great menu, all the food we've ordered have not disappoint us. From their soups to their sandwiches. Their fish tacos are really good and they have the best butter chicken I've had in downtown. My go to wud be their fish and chips - way better than anything you can get in downtown. Their Bombay fish curry is my personal fav. Sauce for the curry is so good and the poached halibut is cook to perfection- succulent and moist. They use thin coating of batter for their fish and chips and y only use halibut fish ! Very crispy on the outside and super moist inside ! Price point is very reasonable and you will be fully satiated when you leave.

    Burger and fries. $13. Delish and huge!

    Food is always fresh. Halibut when in season. Always pleasant servers. Lots of parking.

    Short ribs benny with crispy hashbrowns.

    Needed lunch while en route to Home Depot, and found the reviews for this diner. Wouldn't have found it any other way as it is in a complex behind a sealed gate! But thankfully the code to open the motorized gate is posted. It's worth the effort to dine at this aptly named diner. Had fish n chips and short ribs benny. Loved the house cut fries and the ample portion of tender meat in the benny. Delightful and friendly service, and very reasonable prices!

    COVID #33 Day #2 Diner #2 Fried chicken #2 inside diner #2. Right after eating, I experienced a #2, but we won't go there for this review. It was not the fault of the food. =P As others have mentioned, it's in an odd location that can be a bit hard to find. I still found it. See my pics. I'm impressed with the level of food coming out of this place. Very close to Argo Cafe. Upscale diner food is the best description. What caught my attention was the waffle. They did a tremendous job on it. This would give Nero Waffles a run for the money in terms of flavour. This is another "you need to try this" type place. Located in a fashion warehouse industrial park, but they wouldn't let me, the fashionista, shop. It's a wholesale complex. Screw the Subway, or whatever they have inside the Home Depot. Come here instead. Family run, friendly owners.

    Lunch. The coffee was weak but the food and service were good. The curry was mild. Soccer on the tv.

    EXCELLENT take on English breakfast...  It's called the Christopher.   EVERYTHING was very well cooked and PERFECTLY SEASONED.

    EXCELLENT BREAKFAST SPOT!! this place is truly a hidden gem that could very well become a local favorite. It's hidden in an office park but trust Google maps it's SOOO WORTH IT! EVERYTHING was excellent, the bacon thick and perfectly crispy, in OMG the potatoes were PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned. The pancakes thick and fluffy the fruit and veggies were fresh. This place is AWESOME!! SERIOUSLY DON'T SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! I mean seriously top knotch breakfast in a cute cozy spot with no wait!!

    Another great meal! Came with my husband, daughter and grandson today and we had another great meal! I had the chicken and waffles and daughter had chicken souvlaki. Hubby had the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and fries and grandson had ham and cheese sandwich. So good! The service was great too!

The service was also great, with multiple people checking in on us. The corkage, at $20, is very reasonable and the restaurant even comp'ed our tiramisu! We will miss it once it is gone. The food was quite decent. I thought the prices were a bit inflated for just pasta, but the portion size was pretty massive -- most of us took leftovers to go. The sauces in general were a bit bland and the pasta was definitely cooked to beyond al dente, which isn't my preference for dried pasta. That said, the toppings were generous, especially for the linguine crab that I ordered (would highly recommend!). Come by before they close permanently!

Creamy but not too heavy I wish it had more bacon but it was delicious all around. The daily special veal was also amazing. The veal was juicy and perfectly seasoned and paired with the creamy pasta was perfect. We ended with the panacotta which was fresh, fruity and light! Will definitely be back!!

    My friends and I recently shared a few dishes here, and while the flavors were truly impressive,…read morethe portion sizes left us wanting more. We started with the complimentary bread, which was a total highlight. Each person gets a fresh slice that has an incredible crust and a soft, pillowy center--dipping it into the oil and vinegar was the perfect way to start the meal. For our mains, the Gnocchi Asparagi e Funghi was my favorite - the gnocchi themselves were clearly handmade and had a great texture that didn't feel heavy. The earthy mushrooms and asparagus worked really well with the parmesan cream, which was rich but didn't overpower the other flavors. The Squid Ink Linguine ai Frutti di Mare was also solid; the lobster bisque base gave it a deep, savory saltiness that coated the clams, prawns, and scallops perfectly without making the dish feel too "fishy." We also tried the Candele Al Ragù D'Anatra. The duck ragu was tender and savory, and the combination of the parmesan fondue and aged asiago added a nice, sharp saltiness that made every bite really satisfying. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh, it's just a shame the portions were so small because the flavors were definitely there. The service was excellent and very attentive; I especially appreciated that they were constantly on top of refilling my water throughout the night. The ambience also hit the right note, making it a great spot for a night out. However, the portions are definitely on the smaller side and aren't super filling. Even though every dish tasted amazing, we weren't full by the end of the meal, so it's something to keep in mind if you're arriving with a big appetite.

    Decent Italian spot, though there are probably better spots in town…read more We had the bruschetta, seafood ravioli and pappardelle with chicken, sausage, and beef. The seafood ravioli was tasty and I'd have it again. The pappardelle was decent although didn't have as much depth or complexity of flavour as it could've. The bruschetta, which was kind of like an open faced sandwich - a spread on bread with some prosciutto on top (no tomatoes in case that's what you're expecting!), was pretty meh and I wouldn't order it again. Service was nice enough. It's a cute, cozy spot in Gastown. Overall, it was just fine but given the abundance of great Italian restaurants in town I probably would go elsewhere when craving pasta.

The restaurant was cute, cozy, and could seat us right away so we decided to give it a try. We got the poached pear salad and enjoyed it! The pears were delicious and a very refreshing salad. It did come with burrata on top which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't gooey at all. For our mains, we split the pesto rigatoni and the special which was also a rigatoni with white wine, capers, shrimp and lemon. First off, the noodles are delicious on both dishes. They are clearly handmade in the best way possible. Very tender, delicate, and almost melt in your mouth. The pesto dish was perfect but again the burrata on top was disappointing since it was sort of tough/dry and not gooey. The special dish was very good but the lemon was quite strong. Initially it was a bit too much but it did grow on you over time and I did like the dish. We ended with a tiramisu and while it was delicious, there wasn't much of the bread/cake/cookie part as it was mostly cream. Overall, it was fun to try a new place but I expected a more for the price point. For $35 per plate plus salad and dessert it was a very expensive dinner and we weren't full.

To start I ordered the Fried Cauliflower and Sourdough bread based on other recommendations I had seen, which both lived up to the hype.
