Decided to try this place out after hearing what a negative experience a friend had. And I almost wish I didn't!! Went on a friday night, so naturally it would be a bit busy. Luckily we got there before dinner rush I guess.
Ambiance looked confusing. It look as if you combined a lounge and burger shack together. Worse, they only had one rest room. Which looked poorly maintained. You would think that a restaurant this "busy" would have more than one?
The service was soo slow, even just waiting for our water took forever. Waiting for a refill took even longer!! You would think that the servers would know the #1 rule in serving is never let the glass be empty. It's as if the owners just hired young servers still in high school to fit their restaurants "young" and "trendy" appearance.
Luckily the food wasn't that bad. The fries were cold, but they weren't great anyways so didn't miss out on much there. Also, condiments such as ketchup are an extra 25c. Seriously? Had I known I would've brought ketchup packets from McD,
Would I go back here? Definitely not. For the price we paid we could get something ALOT better at Rockford which isn't too far from there.

We ordered 8-pcs of chicken, 12pcs of cupcakes and 1 med. size gravy. When we got home, we realized that KFC forgot to include the gravy! After 3 days, we decided to stop by the same KFC and ordered chicken for take out. I told the lady about the gravy incident and she asked me if I called that night. I told her no. She said you should have called and we could log it in. In my mind, how should I know that I would need to call????!!!! She didn't gave me my gravy $1.99 worth. Right then and there, I decided never to come back to this outlet again!!! FOR A $1.99 WORTH OF GRAVY, KFC has lost me and my family as their weekly customer.

We like good italian. Our standbys are Umberto's and Carmelo's. Living on the far end of the north shore, though, sometimes you just don't wanna drive so far..... Last Friday, we made a reso for 4 of us here and arrived a few minutes late. Our table wasn't ready, no worries, we were offered seats at the bar. The place was pretty full, good sign. We sat at the bar and surprisingly were not offered anything to drink. They seemed short staffed and too busy to make eye contact with us. After 10 min, my hubby flagged a guy down and got a couple of beer. Then our table was ready. We ordered mussels, tomato boconcinni, mains were a duck special, ossobucco and peppercorn steak washed down with a couple of decent bottles of red. Thinking back, mediocre is shooting a little high. The tomato bocconcini had tomatoes that I would not have purchased to serve to my own family, never mind serve to restaurant patrons paying $11.00 for six slices of tomatoes and minuscule slices of bocconcini. They were not ripe, not fresh (previously cut?) white at the core, grainy and in certainly the cheapest tomatoes available. To their credit they replaced the salad with a new one and I was so starved, I ate it, but it was just marginally better. The mussels were unremarkable and the portion size was below standard for the price. The Ossobucco presented nicely but the sauce tasted strange. We've had this dish in other restaurants that when done beautifully makes you dream about the taste for weeks afterward until you have to go back and have it again in the same place. This is not such a case. Again, well below mediocre. The duck special was done in a cassis sauce and the best thing about the dish was the veggies. The duck was dry, bland, and I wanted to forget I'd ordered it as soon as I bit into it. The best dish of the evening was the peppercorn steak. That was several notches above mediocre but at this point not enough to bring up the total score. The service was decent and unobtrusive, although in Italian restaurants we usually see a little more flare, but not here. Our glasses were full and the waiter was awake, that's about it. All in all, we had a nice evening out because our focus during the meal was the company and not the restaurant. But when you get home after dropping a few hundred bucks on a meal you do tend to dissect it a little the next day to decide if you'll be going there again or trying somewhere else. Our conclusion on this was, "been there, done that." We'll look for someplace else.

We popped in for lunch about 11:45 and were the first ones in the restaurant. We ordered a California roll, Rainbow roll, Chirashi Don, and Gomae for the two of us. The food took quite some time to come and they delivered the two rolls for my son first and by the time he was completely finished eating, they brought my Chirashi Don. The 2 waitresses working were pathetic. One of them dished out the most minuscule portion of Gomae (we're talking 1 unheaped teaspoon) and they tried to tell us it was because they had changed the portion sizes. I forgot to ask them if they had cut the price in third as well. Since my son had been there twice before and had Gomae both times and gotten a normal portion, her lie was even more ridiculous. Later on she thought better of trying to slide one over and brought us another portion of Gomae. Later on both waitresses were standing around staring into thin air while we waited for them to notice our tea pot was empty (I had taken the lid off... traditional Asian cue for a refill). My son finally had to wake one of them up to refill our tea. The saving grace for this place is that the food is very good. The rolls were both tasty and my Chirashi Don was nicely presented, the fish was good quality and it was very good value for $12.95. Still, I tipped barely 10% and I'm getting sick of tipping even that much when we would have had a more enjoyable meal if it were self-service. I did give the sushi chef the thumbs up on the way out for the food though, thinking he deserved the tip more than ther servers did.

This is the best chinese we've found, especially on the North Shore, but man, does their attitude stink! They have never charged us the same for the same meal, will refuse to deliver based on she's feeling that day and you're often kept waiting a long time for your food to be delivered. They are pretty popular so I guess they can afford to keep the horrible hostess and staff...

This place seemed nice enough. When I went in and ordered a Lunch Special (Pad Thai), the taste was not like the one I had in Thailand. The color looked red and that led me to the fact that they could possibly be using tomato sauce instead of the real tamarind sauce and that is probably only because they want to use less costly ingredients. The quality of the food was a bit low, but I'm not complaining. Also the proportion was a bit on the small side, but I guess that would be fine related to the price. Through my opinion, this place would be for those people who like small amounts of food.

On the occasion of my wife's 29th birthday (again, she's apparently ageless), she is providing the details of her recent B-day dinner with her girlfiends (since I wasn't invited thank you very much).

Brown's is popular for it's cheap drinks which they of course indulged in since it was a B-day dinner. Wife started with a cup of French Onion soup which was too much packed into a too small of a cup to even eat without all the broth and contents overflowing.

Wife ordered a blackened fish burger which she said was surprisingly bland for a blackened fillet....and a bit overdone and dry to boot. Fries and coleslaw, hot and fresh and tangy respectively. Two of her friends ordered steak sandwiches, one medium rare and one well done (OMG, why even order a steak) which of course got switched when they came to the table probably because they were chattering too much and not paying attention to the waitress. Of course the two girls didn't noticed until they had already dug into their plates. But otherwise they were well received. The last of the quartet order a blackened chicken rice bowl which seemed to satisfy her. For dessert the four of them shared a slice of chocolate cake with a tangy raspberry layer.

Service was fine and despite a few glitches they enjoyed their dinner (cheap drinks help) and want to go back try Browns for breakfast next. I'm still not invited.....

So fresh, so yummy right out of the bag. Love all the different kinds. My kids eat 3 /day because they are so good, such a healthy snack. I live in Whistler and am so thankful they get delivered here. My husband and I also love the delicious granola they make.

Want outstanding comfort food every time? I always hit Burgoo. Just an awesome little joint for Soup and Sandwich. Everything I've tried I've really enjoyed, and the staff have a smile on their face and recognized me quickly. It took me a while to find a place that made food like Mom used to for lunch, but with the flare of a chef. This is now the place I wish I could hit every single day for lunch or dinner.

Great place to go before heading downtown for a hockey game or concert too! Right by the Seabus and near parking :)

I LOVE this thai restaurant. The pad thai and panang curry are delicious, and I always try new things which are as good as the last dish. It's got a very clean modern feel and the ambiance is lovely, especially compared to other Thai places. The one negative would be the portion sizes... I find that there are usually little in the way of leftovers after a fairly expensive meal, which I'm used to having at other similar restaurants. If that changed, I'd eat here every week and spend far more $$ on them!! *hint hint*
