I just love this place. We've been going for years and most recently went for our anniversary. They are consistent in surprising us with new and delicious flavours, and we'll never stop ordering chicken of the sea. During this visit our favourite was the duck and cherry dish, which was such a decadent, deep, and flavourful experience.

For those who haven't been, the tasting menu is the way to go. The atmosphere, staff, and chefs are lovely people with a passion for their crafts. If you bring 4 people, you get to taste the whole menu and it is amazing. Even the desserts surprise me every time.

An adventure in taste with creative chefs! All the dishes were executed well with interesting mixture of flavour, texture, and aroma. Presentation was great as well.

This is such an intimate place, perfect for a date night or friend gathering. Service was fantastic, both personable and professional.

Attended for my partner's birthday and had a great visit.

Servers were attentive but not overbearing, happy to provide appropriate wine pairings to my partners tastes. Added some flair and humour.

Cocktails also fantastic, love the Mia Goth (the name and the drink) and the Poor Charley's Armagnac.

Just the Two of Us was wonderful, great array of layered complex flavours, well crafted as a whole, nice stepping through of the menu with variance and separating more rich courses with more refreshing courses. Accommodated my partner's allergy with grace.

Music choices were right up my alley. Overall vibes very much my shit.

Overall excellent.

We went there for my birthday. Typically a fancy restaurant usually would give us something complementary; however nothing happened . The waitress forgot my cup of hot water . I guess what I am pointing out is if u want your night to be special there , it wouldn’t and some lack of effort .

Food wise I think the main course like duck breast and sable fish are amazing , however the appetizers ( even the chicken of the sea ) had interesting flavour but not wow this is good . This is definitely just my personal opinion so would also like to describe the dishes we had to be fair . chicken of the sea - is really a chicken pate on the sour side with decent amount of good baked bread , beef tartare - beef tasted great but the chunks of small veggies and spices make it overall kinda lost the beef taste .

Went in during Dine In Vancouver and found it great value for $200 all in for two people for two sets menu, two drinks, and a side dish, half the price of St Lawrence restaurant but still great caliber.

The chicken of the sea special for $15 with sea urchin pâté, and the pork collar with air dried sage, and the carrot cake were the stars of the show. Great service too!
