Classy and cozy place for drinks, but a bit overpriced.
Service was nice and prompt, and very professional.
Cocktails are $12 for a double (I couldn't find a "single" option), and beers are $7 for a domestic bottle, $8 for an import.
Atmosphere is great for a chat though. Has just the right amount of background noise from other people and the slots, but the carpeting muffles gets rid of any echoes. Great decor, with the lit bar area. It's also far enough from the casino area so you don't get much traffic either, which is nice.
Not too much to say. You'll spend a few extra bucks, but the ambience makes it worthwhile. -

The macaroni and cheese dish, with a name such as "ultimate" or "exquisite" (it escapes me now) is worthy of its moniker. A rich, creamy blend of camembert cheese and two other cheeses along with truffle oil made this dish a sensory explosion of taste for my mouth. The crispy lardon provided a nice counterbalance to the softness of the noodles.
The tapas-style portion makes it a nice light meal before an evening of entertainment at the casino theatre. -

Went to Curve to watch the Canucks game after a relaxing massage at the absolute. Lulu lounge inside the casino was already packed with gamblers, and the food court had very small TVs. Surprised that Curve lounge still had empty seats.
Over the course of three hours, the service was so-so, with sometimes being super attentive, and other times invisible. The waitress was clearly trying to rake in as many orders as possible without giving a damn. As the bf says - her voice sounds like she really cares but if you look at her face, she's not even paying attnetion, or will say something to you while walking off in the middle of a sentence.
The caesars were ok, with olives by request, in addition to a pickled bean. They have a few beer and wine options as well.
We ordered a small snack to share - chicken skewers with vermicelli - the chicken was well cooked, but the noodles were WAY undercooked like it was boiled in water for 10 seconds. I understand that there is the fish sauce to pour over the noodles, but there is no way that the sauce is going to soften the noodles when it is not hot. And if you can't cook noodles properly.. then I really don't know what else to say. I understand the casino is obvioulsy more expensive, but at $15 for that dish, I can probably get it for $5 bucks at a traditional viet place, for that portion, and perfectly cooked.
grab a drink, watch the game, and leave. Don't expect anything great out of this place. The only think you'll be cheering about is if the Canucks win. -

The service was good and for someone that does not like fish, or any food with fish, then this is the best place to go for something different and get something great. I got the Raising Arizona (pork chop) and it was truly one of the best dishes I have had. The first bite will make you wait a minute and enjoy every second and others would wish they would have ordered the same. The price is $19.00 and worth every penny. You will want to get this every time. The only reason the place did not get a 5 star is that the outside sitting gets a plane fly over every 5 minutes, so I would suggest setting inside with the TVs. Even though the outside looks nice, it is loud every 5 minutes.
