Oh my God !!!!

Ok, what happened here & how come no one told me!?!
What a lovely surprise, we actually have a great place to go for a nice dinner or a date nite in Maple Ridge. WOW. Yes we all know of the tried and true place that have been there but nothing as quaint, subtle yet magnificent as this.
I happened on it by chance as I parked on this one way side street to get my son's skate sharpened across the street and when I came back to my car my curiosity got the better of me and I poked my head in to see what this off the beaten place was all about....
Long behold what a beautiful room : warm and sexy yet refined and casual, OMG, somebody definitely knew what they were doing.
Looked at the menu and decided to come for dinner that nite as that's all they do, dinner starting at 5pm and Tues to Sat only (how civilized). My lovely wife (who knew nothing of this place) was first shocked as we pulled up but was pleasantly surprised once we entered, it was like entering one of those off the beaten path wow place in New York or LA that the TV shows are always talking about; breathtaking gorgeous
We were greeted with very genuinely welcome with a big smile and shown to a lovely table for four even though we were only two and the place was pretty full. We settled in and as we were taking in the ambiance we glanced around the room and saw quite a broad spectrum of ages and different types of diners all around and all of them had one thing in common: a very relaxed and content look, its like being in a SPA.
I know I am rambling but WOW....
The menu is definitely well put together with lots of options for every one( look it up)
I had the Crab and Salmon Dip, followed by the Tenderloin and my wife had the calamari followed by the Lamb Shank.
The portions are huge no massive and the flavors are dynamic with layers upon layers exploding in your mouth.
Whoever is putting this together definitely knows their stuff and hits the mark.
We were too stuffed but somehow after we were told about the Tiramisu our rubber arms were twisted and we ordered one to share (glad we did as it too was a large for one)
All said and done YUMM, great place amazing food; Oh and a great wine list short and cheap. I gotta come back as all sounds amazing and then the kicker the server said that they are doing seasonal menus, which means I won't be able to eat my way through this one before they completely change it in March. Got to go more>>>>>>>

Bleh......Disappointing, run of the mill, if the owner doesn't have deep pockets, it'll be out of business in a year.

I ate at this brand new restaurant in Maple Ridge during Dine Out Vancouver. The first red flag went up when I asked for the regular menu, after only being offered the "dine out" menu. The dine out menu was the regular menu, WORD for WORD with the regular prices removed. On the dine out menu for $35 were the choice of two appetizers and a main dish. It was cheaper to order off the REGULAR menu, (the exact same items) no matter how you looked at it. Simple Math.

Second, everything tasted like it was from frozen. The Salmon I ordered came undercooked, tasted fishy and cooked from frozen state. My husbands "side potatoes" were more like french fries cooked 4 times to many. The ingredients were really lacking. I feel like the restaurant owner is trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes with this low quality high price food. Not worth it.

The review also posted on here titled "Oh my God" can also be found on the urbanspoon review site. I have a sneaking suspicion someone is trying to boost their own restaurant.
