I love the decoration with old pictures and old pieces of furniture although the place can be quite chaotic for the limited space. I have tried soups, breads, bakings and, of course, pies. Most of them are really good (especially breads), but pies. I tried different kinds, apple pie, blueberry and pumpkin pie... and found all pies were too sweet. The sweetness kills the flavors of the fruits. Another negative aspect of this place is their cashiers; they are not good at numbers. I have got wrong changes more than once. Just be careful.

I was in Horseshoe Bay, waiting for my bus, when I got hungry. I have always wanted to try Arigato and they were open for lunch. I got a seat by the window, was greeted by the owner who was friendly. I did find the prices a bit on the high side, but the food had tons of flavour and very fresh. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento box with Sashimi, california roll, salad and assortment of tempera. I was quite surprised the Tempera was crisp and tasted great, which is rare for me to like it. I loved the Tuna and Salmon Sashimi, fresh, cold with great flavour. The remaining meal, the Chicken Teriyaki and salad was delicious, and loved each bite. It definately hit the spot and was surprised how good the food was prepared.

I will be back, and nice place to enjoy a meal while watching the ferries come and go.

Located in Horseshoe Bay there is always a good vibe. With a pub-like atmosphere and televisions playing sports it is a good place to go to grab lunch. My family and I have been there countless times as it is our choice for affordable seafood and we have never been disappointed. I go for the oysters but sometimes opt for fish and chips or mussels. They have interesting options such as an Oyster Burger and great specials. For first timers I would recommend the option that includes one of each type of oyster available.

Great little Swiss breakfast spot in picturesque Dundarave in West Van. Hard to beat the Swiss rosti with eggs up and the coffee. Eggs benedict also on the menu, but no one who has lived in Switzerland is likely to pass on the rosti. Service is friendly and efficient. Arrive early though; breakfast stops at 1100am on weekdays and 1200 on weekends. Basic but popular spot with locals and Swiss rosti lovers.

We have eaten here for lunch, dinner, delivery and Valentine's Day. Each of the four dining experiences have been absolutely excellent. Our first meal was dinner which consisted of lemon chicken and stir fried veggies. We ordered the same for delivery and it arrived warm and delicious and the leftovers were still great the next day. When we went for lunch we ordered sweet and sour soup, cream of corn soup, beef and broccoli with black bean sauce, honey garlic pork and rice. Our Valentine's Day menu consisted of won ton soup, sole with green beans, seafood fried rice, lemon chicken and dessert. The ambience is warm and friendly and the service is superb! This restaurant is a fantastic addition to West Vancouver and we highly recommend it on every level.

Having just moved into the area, my husband and I were walking around Ambleside to look for a place to eat. We came upon Presto Cucina and it looked quite decent from the outside.

Our mistake. There was no one to greet you at the door and only a sign that told us to come to the counter to order. With not much selection, I decided to have a small spinach salad to start (7.99) and a chicken pesto penne as my main (11.99). My husband had a small house salad (4.29) and a garlic chicken pizza (10.99) upon recommendation.

My husband's salad came in a very small bowl with a piece of bread that had to have been sitting around for a while as it was rock hard. My spinach salad was quite large but there was too much balsamic vinegar and the proscuitto was cooked to a crisp.

Before we even had time to take a third bite of our appetizers, our pizza and pasta arrived. Our "Gina" brought the food to the table but had her hair sticking in it. Gross. It took me a while to even find the chicken in my pasta and my husband's pizza appeared to have little to no cheese on top.

Since no one came around to ask us how our meal was going, we went up to the counter and spoke to the "Gina" who was very flustered and seemed angry at us for complaining. She then went in to get the manager who couldn't be over the age of 25. His attire was less than professional and he had his sleeves rolled up so that we could see the array of tattoos all the way up his arms. He was not professional at all. We got a full refund and vowed to never go back again.

I am using this website to find the restaurant and ppl feedback and I found it's very useful. That's why I've decided to start adding my experience for others.

My girlfriend and I went Red Door on last weekend to have some appy and check the new place. It was mixture of west coast and Chinese design, we liked the decoration.

We ordered 1/2 spring roll, Fried Squid and Naan bread as our appetizers.
Out of those only Naan was tasty but I found they are not making that, they get that by special delivery.
Squid was so chewy and no taste, spring roll had also no taste. I can easily say the spring roll in food court is tastier than theirs.
We also ordered beer and one Lemonade, nothing wrong with beer but lemonade was flat and taste was water and sugar. Server kindly changed that to Cranberry juice, but same problem, flat with no real cranberry taste.

I might try this place again as fast food restaurant but not for Dine.

This place is often busy - and for good reason! Their food is amazing. Slightly pricey, but well worth it. Their pies are hands-down the best I have ever tasted. They have delicious sandwiches as well - my favourites are the grilled chicken basil ($12) and the veggie ($10). Sinfully good!

Like other reviewers have mentioned, the cafe is small and because it is so popular, it can be hard to find a table. Service can sometimes be slow, but trust me - it is worth the wait.

Really could not have asked for better service for a lunch. Server was attentive, and incredibly friendly. Absolutely remarkable. I find the prices a bit expensive for what you get, but with solid food, you cant really go wrong for lunch... Crave wont disappoint

This being said, the interior of the place just seems off. I would do some redecorating if it were up to me.

(Corrected report). Trolls has a great family atmosphere, but not much else to commend it. The quality of the fish and chips is very poor for what is supposed to be a fish and chip restaurant. Fish is small with hard and dark batter, Chips are soggy and mainly little bits. Why can't they buy better quality potatoes?

Other food on the menu is awful. Chicken stir fry - lots of broccoli but no sign of any chicken and it was badly cooked anyway.

Service is a "don't care" attitude.

This place should have so much going for it, but seems to have sat back on its past reputation. It now is fast gaining a bad reputation. Food is bad, service is bad, decor is old fashioned and worn out. If you want good fish and chips in Horseshoe Bay, Ya Yas delivers much better quality and value.
