I came here with my friends to surprise his birthday. i ordered french toast from the breakfast menu, and the red wine sangria. The French toast was delicious, and the strawberries were really fresh. The servers were also very kind and helpful in assisting with the surprise for my friend birthday. Great experience!

I really enjoyed my meal, including dessert :) I had the blackened chicken breast, pictured here. The service was a bit funny and memorable. Our server was quite serious and diligent. He was able to accomodate my gluten-free colleagues well so that was great. Their desserts were DELICIOUS. I would return here in the future, for this blackened chicken breast.

This restaurant is in a hotel, small but nice. My friend really liked the vegetarian dish: cauliflower steak. I ordered the 10 oz strip loin steak. The red wine sauce was really good, matched the steak very well. Of course the steak here could not beat the luxury steak houses’, but nowadays $42 CAD for a 10 oz steak, what else do I expect more?

Stayed at Coast Hotel for a team meeting and we had our Happy Hour here twice. Their appetizers were good and drinks too. They accidentally overcharged my boss but they were very apologetic about it and ensured we get our appetizers free the next day. Great service, great location and good food. Price was okay too.

Great place for a quick lunch. They have a great 12 minutes business lunch menu that offers some nice selections. The chicken and waffles were awesome! I'm not usually a fan of this dish but it was really good here. The smoked meat sandwich was ok. The duck BLT was really tasty. The food and service were both good!

Ate here on our last night in Vancouver, I ordered the Ribeye and my partner got the fish. The food was superb, i loved my steak and the gravy was wonderful. Partner didn’t finish any full meals during our whole trip until we ate here! Our server, Miguel, was great. Great manners and ensured everything was good! The only thing holding this place back from a full five stars is the furniture. The seating was comfortable however it seemed like the leather on the booth was starting to show its age, and our table on both visits was quite wobbly. Other than that, amazing place with great staff and even better food.

It’s a great little place adjoining our hotel. There was a slight error with our order, but it all worked out fine. The service is excellent, the staff friendly, you have happy hour access all day if you stay at the attached hotel. We ordered the Ahi and the flatbread. Both were excellent, very tasty and filling. The house red was ehhh as is most house wines. Overall, it was really good, priced well and I would recommend it to anyone in the area

Amazing food, good staff, great service every day of the week except Sunday. Ate here almost every day of the week on my stay at the Hotel. It had been a fantastic experience. On my last day I stopped in for lunch and this was the one and only day my experience was well below standards. We had to basically had to seat ourselves after approximately 5 minutes of standing waiting for some one to even acknowledge we were there. When we were seated there was no apology for our wait despite the fact we were really the only people in the restaurant. We ordered an appetizer and the brought the complete wrong thing ;hungry and frustrated, we accepted the food they brought as we had had it earlier in the week and it was phenomenal. This attempt at the dish however was sub par. It was dry and tasted stale and was almost cold. So to anyone wanting to go here do so every other day of the week other than Sunday. The food when it is done right is absolutely amazing.
