(2.2) (2.6) (2.3) (2.3) (2.4)Really good coffee and baked goods. Got rudely sniffed by the young barrista for asking him not to grab new cups with his fingers INSIDE the cup. Use the handle, otherwise it's like sucking your fingers! Nice patio, though a bit noisy from passing vehicles. Otherwise basically friendly service. Needs better monitoring from management to ensure sanitary practice is maintained. It seems a little lax in that area..
Tasty food; good service. But almost fainted when I got a bill of $10 + tax for two poached eggs, two small pieces of toast and a small blob of mashed potatoes with a glass of water; no coffee or extras. I mean, really! At some fine dining place, sure. But at a Kitsilano cafe? $8 I could have dealt with. But $10 is just gouging, considering what the palce is..
Absolutely love this place. Mom cooks with fresh ingredients in a meticulously clean kitchen in the back, daughter behind the counter makes sandwiches and slings cappuccinos that will soothe even the worst rush hour temper, and pop, Vito, serves and charms customers in this down-to-earth restaurant and deli. We ate the Prima Vera Pasta and homemade meat loaf. Stupendous. Best to go at lunch when the place is packed with animated Italians. Sandwiches, soups, pastas, shopping and a breath of old-world air, all in a space no larger than my apartment. No attitude here. Just sincere people proud of what they do. 'Can't say enough about it.
Ordered the Queen Charlotte halibut. Whoah! With the crabby leek. Aaah! The portions are small, though I somehow left satisfied. Wasn't the wine. I didn't want the meal to end it was so amazingly flavourful. Service was very good. A party of young had imbibed far too much near us. Their constant loudness really put a damper on the meal. I don't know why management felt their dining experience was worth more than ours. We felt very un-taken care of in that respect. But the food...!
Great little sushi bar with decent food, medium-sized portions and very friendly service by owners--Jennifer and Newman. A wonderful place or a cheap meal that comes with tea, miso soup and a welcoming smile. Always our first choice in Davietown.
Bitter, grainy coffee. Owner appears to think it's perfect as his staff refused to add a little water to my cup after I politely asked for some. Amazing the measures the Vancouver restaurant industry goes to minimize income. I may have made a return visit for a different kind of coffee, but becasue of my experience with the staff, I and many of my friends will go further up the Drive for a better cup of bean.
Food middle of the road. Just don't look down at the mess on the floor. Owner should invest in a vaccuum cleaner. We used to go here regularly, but because of the filth prefer to dine elsewhere. Service is all right.
A place to go for an Indian buffet. Lots of choice for a decent price. Great city view. Fresh salads. Best to go after 5:30 at times--occassionally lunch food hasn't been replenished until then, and pickings are soggy and sparse.
Not as much of a deal as it used to be. The food okay; the servers smile. Two years ago we'd make the trip from downtown to eat here. The price, though, has risen steadily and now it's not worth the trip. Great if you all you want is a few items to gorge yourself with.
Fish n' Chips. Had to have it. Have been to the White Spot on Broadway and remember ample pieces of fish and bottomless fries. W. Georgia was a different story. Minnows for dinner and, yes, lots of chips. I didn't want to spend $12 for, essentially, a plate of fries, really, but I was hungry and I did. We table hopped a bit as the floor hadn't been vacuumed for a very long time. Ate in a darker area of the place so I wouldn't be turned off by the dirt. I eat out frequently but will never return to White Spot on W. Georgia.
Incredible is the word for Kam's. Surprised were we when owner Kam approached us at the door this evening--something he's never done personally, and asked us to leave. Seems a few weeks ago we didn't tip the waiter. The server didn't deserve one. He was rude. How Kam knew we didn't leave a tip and why he decided it was grounds to dismiss us from our job as customers, I find bizarre. It was amazing (and frightening) that he appeared rational while telling us that because we didn't approve of the service we were no longer welcome in his restaurant. All over a $2 tip! We left the restaurant stunned at the length he will go to lose customers who have never complained, never caused a ruckus and who have otherwise always tipped. There is a plethora of more decent inexpensive restaurants in Davietown--one's, I realise, that haven't been closed by the health department-- that we will frequent. I won't miss the weird ambience and the lunatic behaviour of Kam's staff. Unbelievable that restaurants can keep their doors open when they treat paying ustomers with such flagrant disdain.
