Super flavourful and mouthwatering. Also tried the clam vongole. Delicious. And spicy. But too spicy for me but I loved it still. Service is amazing as well.

We really enjoyed the nasu and burrata, kani risotto, and black sesame chocolate brownie. We liked the salmon soba though wondered if it was worth $32 given how small the portion was (picture shows 2 orders plated together). Unagi alla vodka was an interesting idea but the flavours did not complement each other. Reservation highly recommended as the restaurant was packed on a Sunday night!

Always have a good time here…read more It's a cute, European-style neighbourhood wine bar. The sort of place where you intend to pop in for a glass and end up getting a bottle. Quite small and intimate, come early or expect a short wait for a table. Service is excellent, they haven't led me astray yet on good wine recommendations. It's worth visiting for the popcorn alone (which is free). Rumour has it that they are going to start selling the popcorn seasoning separately - it's that good. Over summer, their happy hour rosé is delightfully refreshing when the sun is shining in. Tried a few things from their menu (pork belly, charcuterie board, house bread) and all were good - it's a place to go for drinks and a nibble, not necessarily a full meal. A fun place you'll want to return to.

My husband and I had a terrible guest experience this evening at Dear Gus…read more Not only was the host team rude, but they grossly mis calculated the time for our table, not once, but twice. Due to these errors, we had to leave, without eating, because waiting for a table would have put our childcare at risk. I know Dear Gus takes reservations for groups of 4+, but as a couple, that came at 5:15 for a dinner...prepared to wait for 30-45 mins, left unseated at 7:25. Unacceptable. I would strongly discourage all others from wasting their time at Dear Gus.

Most dishes were small bites but needless to say we were very full at the end. The stand out plates were the ceviche (a daily feature), hokkaido scallops, tiger prawns, sablefish, shishito peppers and olives. The olives were warm and spicy, a definite must try if you like olives. The only dish I wasn't a fan of was the beet gnocchi as it had too much of a musky taste for my palette but my friends enjoyed it. Big shout out to Shandy for her hospitality. The restaurant was busy and she made sure service was smooth for us. My girlfriends and I don't usually repeat restaurants for our birthday celebrations but we will have to make an exception for this one!

We managed to go early enough to catch the later…read morepart of happy hour (~5pm), and we were actually the first table there (granted, we went on a Wednesday evening haha)! They limited dining to 1.5 hours, which makes sense because the restaurant started to fill out towards the end of our meal. Even though its not a big space, it didn't get too loud even with 70-80% capacity. We were immediately served by the owner, Louis, himself. He was super welcoming and explained the entire menu to us. Off the HH menu, we got the oysters ($15) and vermouth spritz ($12). We also ordered Tofino King Salmon ($29), Spanish Octopus ($35), Tiger Shrimp ($32), Seared Scallops ($47), and Apple Tiramisu ($14) to end. I really appreciate that he didn't try to upsell us on the dishes, but instead told us how many dishes he thinks would get us full. In the end, we ended up ordering one more (tiger shrimp) and we were stuffed after. All the seafood was done well; however, I think the sauce(s) and "accessories" to the seafood can be improved. They're pretty innovative with the type of dressing, and I feel like it was a hit or miss with the both of us. I did really like their avocado dressing though, and seemed to go well with everything! My favourite was the salmon - super prominent fish taste, and was a bit tougher (because it was "dry aged") than what you would expect from sashimi. I would recommend getting that, and it's also one of their most ordered item on the menu. The apple tiramisu was also really good! And because it was a birthday, he gave us a shot of their espresso vodka, which was the BEST vodka-infused drink I've ever had. It was similar to if cold brew was infused with vodka and a little hint of vanilla. Super delicious. Would recommend coming here for HH; their regular dishes are a bit pricy, but some of them are worth it (for the right occasion).

This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

It is actually still a street. We came here to celebrate a birthday in the family. There were a variety of dishes ordered for the table: Seasonal Green salad, House Bread, Cauliflower Carbonara and Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio. I loved the dips for the house bread. Especially the chili oil. That was quite a sensation for the taste buds, and in a very pleasant way. For my main course I ordered the Casarecce al Pesto di Pistacchi with Arugula. It was on a specials sheet for Wednesdays. We were here on a Wednesday and they have Mangia Wednesdays specials. This dish was actually on the regual menu as well except that it went by a different name on the regular menu, and also had the addition of broccolini on it in the regular menu. I enjoyed my dish but it didn't have broccolini in it and I'd have enjoyed it more with broccolini. We ordered some Tiramisu and Affogato for dessert. Tiramisu wasn't bad but we agreed that the Affogato was the better of the two. Overall, everyone was very happy with their food and we thought it was a very good recommendation.
