After attempting to visit this restaurant 3 times last year we finally got in this time round. No wonder it is always busy. What a brilliant restaurant with exceptional service we even noticed staff were willing to go out and top customers parking meters up so they didn't have to leave their food. Our waitress was lovely very friendly and... More

I visited the Gastown location. The food was some of the best I have ever eaten. The sampler plate starters were tasty and the main courses exceptional. Our waitress was truly exceptional as well, very knowledgeable about the food and the wine. And the ambiance was very pleasing, dare I describe this place as a gastro pub.

The food is by far the highlight of the restaurant. The style inside is undescriptive but it hardly matters because the food made up for it! I went with a group of coworkers and really enjoyed the platter / family style available. The food was tasty and attractive all at the same time. I was at the Yaletown location, but... More

Nice gastown location in the heart of the action with a small tight fitting sidewalk space that is great on a warm sunny day. Ambitious menu and lots of daily specials.Braised short rib mac and cheese was excellent. Try the craft beer of the month too.

We went for a family birthday, 8 of us, the food was excellent and the services was second to none. The wait staff really know what they are doing, we never had to wait or ask for a thing, they were able to anticipate our needs every time. The food was fantastic, we had 5 different entrees, salmon, halibut, pork,... More

I was walking past this restaurant on my way to Blue Water Cafe on my first night there and it was full and seemed to be busy even at 10pm so I had this on my list of places to try. Went to this restaurant with 2 colleague and had a nice chocolate porter and some decent food. Good complementary... More

Don’t let the name fool you – this store is not a ‘pork' specialty store. Thee moment you go in, you will feel the cool atmosphere and design. Then their friendly staff will greet you with fresh warm complementary bread. They have a lot of selections on the menu, which can leave you indecisive, but their friendly staff can help... More

I recently went to their newest location in Gastown. The atmosphere is very welcoming.Chef Eric, who is very visible and friendly, created a very simple menu made up of appetizers, entrees and sides. Nowadays you do not get to see the chef of such restaurants bring food out to the table to ensure that the customers are satisfied. The food... More
