ahhh love this place !
i love how its open later than most restaurants, the drinks are awesome, they have a DJ on the weekends, the service is always friendly if not prompt, the crowd is chills, and they have these sick matchboxes at the host stand.
everything i have ever tried on the menu has been good. Let me go through everything I have tried:
Baked brie wheel with spicy brown sugar crust, crostinis and roasted garlic is to die for. I absolutely die for brie so i thoroughly enjoyed this starter. Its a fat round chunk of brie that you spread on the crostinis along with the roasted garlic.
Spicy chicken wings with lime, soy and sweet sambal glaze - tasty, i feel like you can never go wrong with wings though. but definitely worth ordering to munch on while sipping on cocktails and wine.
Four cheese macaroni with sharp white cheddar, mozzarella, cheddar and asiago - careful here...its suppper rich, creamy and cheesy. So if you don't like rich pastas dont order this. It comes in a small round dish so it may not fill you up as a meal.
Warm chicken wrap with roasted red pepper and melted mozzarella and fries - slightly dry but still enjoyed it. also a healthier choice compared to the other dishes, so if your counting your calories this an awesome dish....just make sure you sub a salad instead of fries.
Their pizzas are all delicious, infact i think theyre known for their yummy thin crusted pizzas...i dont eat pepperoni but my friends boyfriend had it and had to go back the next day for more.
Caprese with bocconcini, tomato, basil and reduced balsamic - very yummy and one of their most popular ones apparently.
Sweet and spicy curried chicken with blitz chick peas, roasted potatoes and fresh cilantro - my cousin ordered this one and i took a couple of bites...its good but i think i would rather order the caprese w bocc and have them add the curried chicken on top.
Okay so i am usually too late for dinner and always make it for the late night menu (which btw is pretty much the same minus one entree sections and a salad section). I only made it on time for dinner once and had the Spinach salad with crumbled candied salmon and baked goat cheese in a puff pastry bowl. OMG effing amazing...small but the texture and flavour of the sweet candied salmon and creamy goat cheese really complimented each other.
anyway sorry for the boring read but hope it helps when your trying to decide what to order !
3X for lunch, 1X for drinks.
REALLY good turkey sandwich, cranberry sauce and all.
Other lunches: saved by the patio.
Service: not memorable (that's better than bad, which is memorable).
Cocktails: turn around and get out.
C'est tout
This is a relaxed place with decent good in Yaletown. A lot less pretentious and has a great back story to the name.
The good is good, though nothing that particularly stands out in my mind. Service is really good: attentive, friendly, timely, knowledgeable.
Good for larger groups too which is harder to accommodate in the area.
Ate off the $10 lunch menu last week cant go wrong when places like glowbal right next door are charging 20plus for crap. Section 3 was packed and it was mid after noon i was stuffed after i ate the chicken wrap with fries and salad JUST 10$ BUCKS....the crown of Yaletown for good and cheap eats at lunch hour goes to them hands down.A table beside us actually tried to get service at glowbal since the patio was pretty much empty and know one was at the door to greet them so after 10 minutes they left and luckily joined us....glowbal does have a wide selection though and rip off prices to boot. Thanks section 3 you guys rule.
When wannabe future stars cost your restaurant a star.
Yes that would be you - tall waiter with the goofy hat. You haven't made it to Hollywood yet (and probably never will)....but last Friday you were supposed to wait on a table, and you so miserably sucked at that job.
So went to Section 3 for a friends birthday and was pleased with the ambiance and decor. Ordering a beverage or food was like pulling teeth. The "service" was so pathetic that after a while it became comical. Surprisingly the beer on tap and the mac and cheese rocked. The yam fries - were soggy and uninspiring. The Tuscan chicken was decent. The cheesecake was decadent and worth another visit - but only on a "takeout" basis.
Yo management - do you read these reviews? Do you know you have a problem here? I have nothing against eye candy - but not all eye candy is capable of serving tables. Only the above-average food saved this from being a full blown Greek tragedy.
PS: Funnily enough the "additional tip" section below asks Waiter Service - Yes/No/Not Sure - Ha ha Not sure is my pick.
My 2 friends and I went to Section 3 about a month ago. It was one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant in Vancouver (and I go out a lot)!
When we arrived we were seated outside on the patio and given our menus. We ordered drinks (which were quite expensive for how small they were) and then ordered food. My husband and his friend ordered burgers and I ordered crab cakes served with salad and asiago toast. My husband's burger and his friend's burger arrived at the table.....I waited for my food.....and I waited......and I waited.....
After about 15 min, my husband and his friend had already finished their burgers and my food still hadn't arrived. No one came to say why or how long it was going to be. I was finally able to flag down our waiter and ask him where my food was. He said it would be on it's way. No "sorry", no "our kitchen is swamped"...nothing. At this point, my husband and his friend remarked to me how terrible the burgers were. They said they tasted exactly like a frozen burger patty from Costco. My husband likes to think of himself as a "burger expert" so he knows exactly what a Costco burger patty tastes like!
When my food arrived it wasn't what I had ordered. All that came were the crab cakes with some shrimp cakes...no salad and no asiago toast. I asked the waiter what happend to the rest of my food. He told me that was what I had ordered. I explained to him that it wasn't and he again told me that I did order that. I asked to see a menu so I could point out what I had ordered. He refused to give me a menu and mumbled something about how the menu had just changed and how was he expected to keep track of all the changes! I was completely stunned at what bad service I was receiving! I ignored his rude comments and asked him to please bring me the salad and the asiago toast. He then started arguing with me again telling me that the crab cakes don't come with asiago toast, only with goat cheese and tarragon toast. Again I asked to see the menu and said to me "don't worry about it", and that he'd bring my asiago toast.
I ate my crab and shrimp cakes (of which I only had ordered the crab cakes) and about 10 minutes later, once I was finished eating, my toast showed up.
Instead of ordering another round of drinks, we decided to get out of this place and head to somewhere with better service. We asked for the bill and when it came we were shocked! It was $96 and the waiter hadn't even comped my entree! I would think that if they bring you your food way after everyone else is done eating and they also give you the wrong food, and are super rude to you about it, then they should comp that particular dish....apparently this isn't the case at Section 3.
When the waiter came back with the debit machine I decided that I would only give a %10 tip. I know that waiters have to "tip-out" to kitchen staff etc, I couldn't give no tip (eventhough I felt like doing so) so I thought that %10 was appropriate for such a shitty experience. My husband's friend paid for his bill on debit and I paid for my husband's and my meals on debit as well. I guess once both receipts were printed the waiter realized that he was only getting a %10 tip so he turned to my husband as we were getting up and said in a really rude tone "aren't you going to put anything on debit for your part of the meal" My husband said "no, we have paid all we are going to pay" and we walked out of the restaurant.
This is seriously the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant in Vancouver and we will never go back to Section 3.

I've been going to this place a couple of times for different reasons. The food is amazing, for all the people in the groups we had along those many nights were all eating fast, and not talking, and bragging about how fantastic the food was. Salmon, chicken, pastas and desserts are just really good. No problem there.
The drinks are pretty good and of a decent price. The cocktail list is various and contains a lot to please a lot of people. It's nice to have a large choice of drinks, you can get bored really fast when there's only 6-7 on a menu.
The service is where it gets tricky. Going for birthdays and a goodbye party, yes there will be many people. So the first birthday party we had was consisting of 12 people and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. When the bill came, uh-oh. One bill. 450$. So i wave the server: Excuse me, can we.... have this separated?. "Oh, eh... well we don't.... really do that, but i can give you a pen..." was the answer. People giggled like "what's happening? LOL".
OK, since your job doesn't consist of making our life easy, we will separate the bill ourselves, in the dark, on the corner of a dirty table, SURE. So i tell him what i had, Salmon, 2 martinis, 3 margaritas, 1 mojitos etc.... "Oh, no, give me the amount you want to pay". Oh well, 26.95+7.95+ya dee ya dee ya... Oh, one bill, one tax, 18% gratuity. I don't remember my math course after that many drinks... but I'll guess higher...
After literally 35 minutes of scrambling through the one and only bill we were given, after 11 people calculating on it and paying what they thought their share was (yeah imagine 12 drunk people calculating in the dark), i ended up paying last and my meal and six drinks was getting to a total of more than 90 dollars (i added the tax and the 18%tip yay!). I'm asked how much do i want to pay. 100 dollars. So i pay and put my coat and shabam! "Sir, sir, we are missing money here". TADA!!!
Here we go, i just saw it coming. I'll pay, i want to go home. "Next time you can ask for a split bill before ordering". Fair enough.
Yesterday we went for a goodbye party. Same server. I asked prior to order anything, "Excuse me, can we have the bill separated?". Same insecurity and uncertainty: "Oh... eh not really, 15 bills is a lot". Uh.... OK? You restaurant will serve at least 300 people here tonight, 15 bills breaks your spirit champ?. Uh... hello?. Same old story, same old service, same server. But this time in 4 hours we had to beg to get some drinks. At least the food is still great.
We spent 45 minutes splitting the orders. Please add your 6 orders, add 18% tip, 15% tax, go around the moon, build a house. I guess people are not calculators, that's why we have servers. I'm fuming and this server is so on the defensive about doing his job, it's mind boggling. I am told: "Sir, we are short of 37$"
Can you picture the light of God descending through the ceiling with angel voices and some kind of Mozart music?!
So now i ask for a manager. I wanted to stay calm, and have a nice evening, OK f*ck that. I'm so tired of this BS, i can't believe this. It takes so long figuring out what to pay and how to add everything, 10 people are already gone, OK we are all probably not geniuses but when i go anywhere else to buy stuff, I'm not asked to add A+B+C+D+E+F and add X% after 6 drinks. That's torture.
The manager is a server as well. So i say "It would be so much easier to split the bills, charge each individual the taxes and tip, everyone would take their piece of paper, get up, pay, go home and sleep, JUST LIKE IN THE OTHER RESTAURANTS. So the manager ask the server why he did not do that, and same old same old, he's crying on how hard it is to keep track of things etc etc. I thought servers had that kind of responsibility... Well i guess not.
After a 10 minutes discussion, i am served the "that's why we don't normally accept large groups" by the relentlessly lazy server, and i said that with organization, structure and method, all of this would pay off in the long run, JUST LIKE THE OTHER RESTAURANTS. And i asked "Why do i have to do your job?".
Some people that were still there pitched in a little money and i put the rest. My friends enjoyed a pasta plate and a drink that ended up costing 30$ instead of 20.
With the people that were still there we went to The Edge. "Can we please have all the bills separated". "Yes no problem", without that pathetic look on the face. Gotta love that kind of service.
Moral of this story is, man i really have to stop being the last person to pay.
PS: the 37 missing dollars... i was wondering why that could be,.... but i figured it out... 37$ is about 18% of our total bill just as if people didn't want to leave him the included gratuity.... hmmm
Oh and some guy at another table got 20 shooters dropped on his head, neck and back. HE had to ask to get a towel!
The décor and ambiance is an affair with retro sheik. I love the lighting, colors and nude pictures. My favorite piece of décor is the large 'nerd' sign hanging over the bar. I warn you, this location has a large amount of female nudity, no complaints here. The waitresses even dress with allure and avant garde. You must order food while chugging down your lovely libations, this is a restaurant. The drinks are creative and well made for women. The waitress was kind enough, after I called out the strongest bucket o' alcohol weak, to top it off with two extra shots of whiskey. That means a total of 12oz of whiskey. There were 4 of us, they drank half, I drank the other half.
Food is good, music is electronic and trendy. The music is not my style but fitting for the ambiance. Sheik and sexy, take a lovely lady here and look at her not the nudy pictures, she will be impressed if you don't screw it up.
I'd love to come back here after the Olympics, and for food next time. We ended up just getting a beer and some fries. The fries were so good that we wanted to order more, but the kitchen was closed. :(
The venue had a great laid back pub feel to it, but yet also fancy. But not pretentious like a cactus club might seem.
They do have good beer on tap: Red Truck Ale.

I've been a Section 3 hater for some time, perhaps goes with my distaste for Yaletown in general (pity I work there). Went here the other night under something of a protest and my loud mouthed buddy points at me and announces in a jovial manner to the waitress that I think their food sucks. Thanks Jo! :) After the awkwardness passed he had her suggest some things on the menu that didn't suck (his words) and she happily did.
Anyhow, had the baked brie which was most excellent. Sweet and creamy and baked to perfection. Also had the chicken wings which were very well done and the beef ribs that were quite outstanding as well.
Service was prompt and considered by a friendly waitress. No complaints.
Sorry for not believing in you Section 3, I'll come back and try again.
Can't believe I haven't written about Section 3 yet. It's one of the best one's in Yaletown!
So the story behind the restaurant name is really cool. Legend has it that the owner is a HUGE Robert DeNiro fan. So she originally named the place DeNiro's. Mr. DeNiro caught wind of this and prohibited it from happening. So it either went to court? Or had some legalities involved. So bottom line is that the Section 3 of the law stuff is what prohibits a person from using another person's name w/o their permission. Cool eh?
Now onto the actual restaurant. Stays open late for drinks and stuff? Plays loud music. Yuppie, urban vibe. If you dig it, then this place rocks. I'm more of a lunch and eggs bennie girl. And their lunch menu has the BEST wraps! Brunch menu too, for ten bucks flat.
Love the decor. Although there's a pair of naked boobs right on the wall, as you walk in. Kind of bold. But nice. Oh, and the sous chef is absolutely amazing! 5 stars!!
I went to section 3 for my friend's birthday supper and we had a blast. There were a few glitches but overall it went well :) I ordered the pulled pork tortillas and they were.. GREAT! a bit too salty for me, but still very tasty. My Bf had the salmon supper ( a whopping 30$) but it was cooked deliciously. The birthday girl had the vegetarian pad-thai and it was pretty awesome too!! Let's just say that when we were eating thee was no conversation happening, that's when you know the food is good.
They have a pretty cool selection of cocktails and martini's as well as aa jug type of drinks for groups. They also have a nice wine list, with the menu covered in NEEkid ladies HAHA!
The decor is nice and the service is pretty decent.
I've been to this restaurant for lunch and I was not deceived.
I'm going next week, so i will let you all know if it went well !
Came here for lunch the other day from work... and I was surprised with their extensive "lunch special" menu! It was fabulous - there was SO MUCH to choose from and it was all $10! I ended up getting the veggie wrap with tzaziki and fries - and I definitely feel like I got more bang for my buck....
However, the company that I was with ordered yam fries... and let's just say the yam fries LOOKED like they were burnt to a CRISP - BUT they were soggy.... Ewwwwwwww.... thankfully our server was nice enough to bring out another plate!
This place is great for large parties! They're usually pretty good with getting everything… Read more »
Went to this place for dinner. Food was okay. I ordered a pad thai with tofu.. found the noodles a bit too soft and too saucy. Not authentic at all, but I shouldn't expect that from a restaurant like this. The waiter was nice, not very interactive. I didn't come here to drink, just to celebrate a birthday. It's reasonably priced, not like some of the other places around the Yaletown area. I liked the ambiance, nice looking bar, cool pictures, cool lighting. Not somewhere I would go back for a place to get dinner.. but maybe for drinks?
I went to Section 3 one night with a big group of friends...it was during Gay Pride so we were a big group of gay guys and one straight girl...you always need at least one;)...so we are ordering lots of drink and food..laughing having a good time when the table nest to us starts making rude comments...in a nut shell they were gay bashing...it was really loud and obvious to not only us but other patrons...one girl at another table even told them to grow up...
We asked for the manager and complained..we sent in the cute straight girl of course...but he said that since they were paying customers that "his hands were tied"..ummmmm...and what were we?? I guess that meant we didn't have to pay for the liquor and food for 9 people??
So, we decided to just leave and take our business else where...on the way out we noticed the manager go up to the table and start chatting and laughing with them...he totally knew them...what a jerk...
I don't know who manges now as this was a while back but it defiantly tainted Section 3 for me and I would be hard pressed to ever return...intolerance in this city in this day and age is unacceptable....

Now that I am of age to experience nightlife, I can give a review on Section 3, a cool little joint in Vancouver that my Canadian friend recommended. Two things to get if you go: yam fries and the big pink girl drink that has an Asian name. They're both really good.
So I can't recall over the years if I have ever actually eaten here or just come to try some of their excellent cocktails, I guess thats what their known for. Last night was no exception
ok everyone.... it's story time..... Does anyone know where Section (3) got it's name? no?
Well the restaurant was originally called De Nero's after the owners favorite actor Robert De Nero. However time went by and Robert himself caught wind of the fact someone had named a restaurant after him and threatened to sue if they did not change the name.... I personally don't see the harm, boo Mr De Nero. So finally after a bit of back and fourth the owner of the restaurant finally decided to change the name to Section (3), a statute of the BC privacy act.
If you're looking for a somewhat hip, young place to have drinks and alright food for a reasonable price in Yaletown, Section 3 is a place to go. Not THE place necessarily,but definitely A place.
The food and drink selection is good, the prices aren't necessarily bad and well, it's adequate. I went once when their kitchen closed strangely early and for no reason but otherwise I really have no major complaints.
Often they feature pretty good music on big nights and also, if you get there at a good time (late or early) there's usually loads of seating.
There are plenty of options in Yaletown for this sort of thing and well, this is an option. Not better or worse, but...it's there.
I have always liked Section 3 but the new Olympic menu with much higher prices and the new 20% auto gratuity will make me stay away in the future.
Section 3 is a like a womanising man: smooth, charming, and sucks you in from the moment you step inside with its dim mood lighting, cosy booths, electric bar, and curtained-off private booth towards the back. Young, hip things serve you drinks of every kind and food that is a touch above "pub grub". There are statues of Buddha scattered around, and plush surroundings make you feel like you've stumbled into something special.
This is definitely not the most down to earth bar, but it's fun for a few drinks if you've found yourself in Yaletown.
Boo - hate this place. Went here for lunch with a friend, was totally dead. Got ignored by the bartender till we went up and asked to be seated. Brie and brown sugar appetizer was so good, salad and burger were underwhelming. Then waiting ages trying to flag down the one waiter for our cheque..would not go back. Just seems pretentious.
Ok, here's the thing. When I go out, I either have the most amazing night ever, or it's just boring, expensive, overrated, pretentious, tacky, time to spend time reading and alone after this, bla bla bla. So when I went out to this place I had the most amazing night ever! I don't go to Yaletown too often... in fact, I've only been to Glowbal for my grad after-party, Opus hotel for a drink, and some other Asian fusion trendy spot... where was I? Oh yes, so I always get excited when I walk the cobblestones and see the glamorous shoes and hair of That Girl and Her Friend.
My night at this place was amazing!! I loved the decor. There's a risque picture of a half naked chick, or rather a naked half-chick, as in, half the chick is seen and she's naked, there's silly little Buddhas placed here and there, and the music was so cool, (Biggie, some other good stuff I can't remember... stuff I wish they played in clubs but are too safe to) But la piece de resistance? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was playing above the bar, the most perfect movie for this place. That just sealed it off for me. I had a big group - 9 people, and we thought we'd have to wait since the patio crowd was being brought inside, but because of our size we got a gigantic booth all to ourselves - I loved it in there. Beer was great, a pitcher of Guinness goes for 21$ (not bad for YTwn). My male compadre got some calamari to go with the beer, but I don't touch that stuff, so I can't really comment. P.S. Our hostess and servers were extremely nice, pretty and smiley... Patio is heated, so if you're cold-blooded like my friend, you'll be fine, but all patios close at 11:30.
If you're ready to get lost in the sexy, colourful atmosphere and have a fun crowd with whom your mind will travel to all the corners of your imagination, (did I mention it was a great night?) this is the spot.
For what and where it is, I don't mind Section (3). I like it when the dj gets his groove on in the window and doesn't seem to notice that he's in a room full of people (Thu-Sat there's a dj). The lights are dimmed, it's clean, the food is casual yet well delivered.
They have nightly drink specials in the $4-5 range and have some good specials. Like Wednesdays you can get thin crust pizza for $12 and there's pasta for the same price on Sunday. That's pretty good value for Yaletown, and you still get some cool atmosphere.
If someone suggested to me "let's meet at Section (3)" I would answer "Great." Although, it would not pop into my head as a place to suggest if I were wearing the organizer pants.
And I think that the "Nerd" sign over the bar has to do with the story (see shain r's review) of the original name being De Nero. Nero to Nerd is not such a stretch once you've invested in the signage. I think it's more of a lemonade from lemon's kinda sign than a "contrived" concept.
I came here for my best friends bachelorette party this Saturday all the way from Seattle and we had a fantastic time. The food was great. Everyone of the 11 girls loved what they had. The drinks were great and came fast. Our server Jason was excellent. He took great care of our table, was funny and helpful and got the bachelorette a few free shots to start off her night. We would all go back on our next trip to Vancouver.
Do you know the story behind the name Section 3 ? I didn't until last night. From what I heard, it use to be named DeNero ... after Robert DeNero... and that lead to legal issues and stuff like that...and it was violating some code in "Section3".. so they changed their name.. and the bar now has a giant sign with the letters "nerd," get it?
Anyways... I had girls night here with a bunch of lovely ladies on a Friday night... we had put our name down for the patio and the temperature inside was like a boiling sauna. I first ordered a White Sangria.. which tasted nothing like one. Overly sweet, no orange.. just... off... nice little additions like blueberries and strawberries.. but just didn't do it for me. Others ordered the snowcone, which was tasty and the Granville Island Wheat Beer (don't know the exact term) and it lived up to it's "wheatiness!" After an hour, a table did in fact open up and we were not forgotten. Our group snuggly fit onto the patio and our waitress was supernice... service was a little snow but it was busy so her personality made up for it. Yam fries, pizzas, and ribs were eaten - I didn't try the pizza but it smelled delicious. The yam fries were a little soft, and seemed soggy, although you can taste the actual yam, which I liked. I could argue that they seemed burnt, but it could have just been the type of seasoning - not sure. The ribs seemed over cooked, lack of meet and way too crispy, maybe that's just how they cooked them.
The patio closed at 11pm and we were put at a table inside. The place filled up and we watched the 15-year old "looking" DJ spin his tunes - he was pretty good! I asked afterwards and he was definitely of age haha.
We decided to stay for a bit longer so a round of SPICY caesars were ordered.. with extra olives... whoa were they spicy, really my mouth was on fire. Too bad they ran out of celery but we got what we requested, which was nice.
Overall it was a great night. the food and drinks was pretty much a downer and thats why I gave this place two stars.. the people who work there are super nice though. They have deals everyday of the night, except friday... and they have a $10 quickie, where there is a lunch special every weekeday for less than 10 bucks.

Good (supet-sweet) iced tea, hummus dips, and other goodness.
My girlfriend and I went to Section 3 for lunch today and had a mixed experience. They had clearly just opened and were still cleaning up from the night before, but we didn't mind as we were the only customers in the place.
The food was far from spectacular, with neither my girlfriend or I enjoying our dishes. I had the shepherd's pie, which was quite bland, and my girlfriend had the wrap, which had tomatoes to which she is allergic. These were not mentioned on the menu, so she ordered in anyways.
We didn't want to be rude and send the food back, so we shared the shepherd's pie and she ate her fries. The outstanding thing about Section 3 and the only reason they got 3 stars was our tremendous waitress. She noticed we didn't like the food, so gave us a 25% discount and made the drinks free. This turned our ~45 dollar meal into a 17 dollar one. All in all still not a great experience, but at least we got a free beer and cocktail out of it.
Section (3) reeks of Yaletown. Small, compact spot. Funky albeit tacky décor. Overpriced drinks. Par food. Unique name. Pretentious crowd. Yes, Section flies through the Yaletown checklist. People seem to take great interest in the name, if you're dying for the stimulating story it's not hard to find. I've always enjoyed myself here, it's intimate, dimly lit and often has a solid dj playing. I usually only go here for private parties and the night always unfolds well. The staff is amicable and the service is quick. Expect to drop a pretty penny on a night, but it is a great destination for pre-bar bevies.
Came here late at night to meet up with a family friend and her bf. The place was poppin' and we were able to get a booth. It was nice...I love the high backed booth seats and the nerd sign...you gotta LOVE that sign!! I had to take a pic of the bf underneath it! The interior is very swanky with everything lighted up in reds and yellows and has an Asian-feel to it. We ordered their yam fries with chili mayo (CAD $7.25) which was fried just right and was super tasty with the chili mayo.
Listed in: O Canada!
I've been here on a couple of different occasions, the first one we had dinner here and it was lovely. We ordered wine and sat on the patio eating lamb and people-watching, how good is that? I came with my friend and her bf again and unfortunately the ovens were kaput for some reason or another. Basically, they didn't have heat to cook. Pout! They were courteous under the circumstances and very attentive in bringing us drinks. The decor has a very asian underground feel and the booths are cozy too.
I've been here a few times over the years. Unlike some of it's Yaletown neighbours, it's not overwhelmingly trendy. That said, there's no real focused concept here. The décor is a bit helter skelter (the nerd sign at the bar is a bit much and feels contrived) with the menu being equally so. It's part fusion with Japanese edamame and ahi tuna served alongside chicken quesadillas and a grilled brie wheel with roasted garlic and crostinis. A range of grilled fish, pastas and pizza constitute the main menu. Frankly, I always fine exceptionally long menus alarming (they can't possible produce quality food without a more focused theme) but things are generally pretty consistent here. The yam fries are particularly good.
