Some friends and I decided to try coming back here for the playoff game since we were unlucky last time. Greeted happily at the door we did get some patio seating after moving around the room a few times, though after settling in the service went to null..for a while. Sitting there waiting for a waitress to stop at our table, we couldn't help but notice that the waitresses waited on tables all over the room, and not by their assigned section. I was wondering why there were 4 different waitresses bussing all our neighbouring tables and not one of the at least half dozen who walked by our table asked if we wanted some service. After a 30 minute wait and feeling like segregated I decided to try my hand at flagging down a waitress waiting on a neighbouring table. FINALLY! She tried to find our original server but alas she ended up bussing us the rest of the night, and did a great job to bump my service rating to them to decent. She was the highlight of the night, and this includes the horrible game.

We ordered finger foods all the way: calamari, steak bites, flatbread, wings and artichoke dip. The wings were the unanimous favourite among all of us but nearly each dish was unusually heavy on the salt. The steak bites, the only properly seasoned item there, was a ripoff and the artichoke dip was on the runny side, its consistency like it had been sitting in the sun for a few hours.

Great vibe, loud but not overbearing, with everyone hooting and hollering at the Canucks breaking our hearts. Patio space is along the boardwalk while the inside doesn't look as good cosmetically compared to its rivals.

It ranks well below average, with this location being a definite disappointment.

Went her for a late dinner with a group of friends and not expecting anything good based on previous experiences. However it was a good surprise. Mabye because I stuck to the burger versus anything complicated. A very good mushroom burger with a good size patty and nice bun. I never put much thought into the bun, but this was really good. Fries were average. Tried the rice bowl previously and it was just OK. Would go back but stick to the basics. Very good service where all drinks were refilled, re-order promptly. Nice bar area for sports watching.

If ever there were a restaurant run for the benefit of staff, this is it. Loud music, obviously chosen to please those who work here, indifferent food (by that I mena nothing to write home about) and staff who couldn't care less if you are there or not. Nice location, though.

A friend and I went to this location of Sammy J's recently and have nothing but rave reviews about the waitress and the staff. We ordered our entrees - she had the Chicken Stir-fry with some added hot peppers and I had the Sweet Chili Chicken Rice Bowl. And for our appetizer we decided to share the Hot Wings - which we requested to be crispy, not "gooey", without too much sauce. The waitress (Amy) put in our appetizer order and returned very quickly with our drinks. After waiting about 15 minutes, our waitress returned and informed us that the wings had come up but that she felt they were not crispy enough and had sent them back and that the order would be another 10 minutes. We were amazed that she had done this, as most places would have served them as cooked by their kitchen staff. After another 10 minutes, the wings were delivered and we found that they were absolutely delicious.

The waitress also informed us that she had already put our entree orders in as there was another large party ordering and so she did not want us to wait too long for our meals. This was an incredible foresight on the part of our waitress, and was great for the two of us. Our meals were delivered shortly and again, the food was well presented. The only problem that I found with my meal is that the basmati rice was very salty and I believe had too much butter mixed into it. Otherwise, the food was very good.

When it came time for our bill to be delivered, we were informed by our waitress that due to the long delay of the wings, the cost of the appetizer had been removed from our bill. This was truly impressive as we had not even complained about the delay. So we will both be back to this restaurant to try some of their other meals, and we will make sure to ask for the same waitress.

I think I've travelled back in time. Back to when restaurants in Vancouver were crap, and people accept it. This feels like a retro restaurant, I guess the owners felt that the 80s was the best time in their life.
I had the 'lobster' pasta as they call it. I guess they assume people dont know what lobster really is, so they can get away with putting lonstina meat in and calling it lobster-that is a tacky move that should stop, lagostina is fine, but call it that, dont lie to the customer.
We also shared some wings that were dry, meatless, and boring-how can you screw up something as simple as wings?
The music is cranked to virtual nightclub levels, its impossible to talk in there.
Service is slow, sat with empty glasses most of the time, dont they realise they're losing sales this way?
I knew it was a mistake to dine here, I generally try to avoid the big box chain restaurants, sadly I have friends that follow the masses and insist on going to these places. Luckily they all agreed with me, and unanimously agreed never to return, and advice all our friends to to try.

I work near Granville Island and went into this place with a coworker for what I hoped would be a quick, decently priced, sandwich before heading back to work. The service was slow to begin with. When the food finally came, it was TERRIBLE. Worse than even McDonald's - by a longshot. I had the club sandwich, which consists of a barely heated chicken breast, some shredded lettuce, a couple of strips of bacon, and some mayo that had gone bad. Oh yeah and 2 pieces of tomato. My friend ordered a burger and a salad with some fancy "tangerine" dressing that tasted like it was made with orange flavoured lollipops in vinegar and water. Revolting. So we tell our server that my mayo doesnt taste right. Her response is "Well I can get you another one, but it will probably taste the same." Uh huh. OK. I think I'll get another sandwich instead. Which EVENTUALLY came along and was almost as bad as the first one. Really very very low quality. My friend had ordered extra tomatoes - they weren't brought, but we were charged for them. Our waitress could not have cared less that our meals were so bad. She took her sweet time doing everything and was basically like some kind of moronic zombie with no personality or brains whatsoever. Awful food, atrocious service, dirty place, overpriced. Its too bad because the location is quite nice, and convenient for alot of people. But i will never ever even consider setting foot in this place again and I recomment anyone reading this to avoid it as well.
