OK. I have only tried their Chai here a couple of times, but it is absolutely incredible. So rich and smooth.
They prepare it quite differently than most other places, and you can tell.
Well worth a visit even if it is summer!

Maybe 4 giant scallops for $6.30 was a bit of a splurge for my fresh linguine pasta? But after two minutes of high heat searing, I knew I had made the right choice. Sweet and tender. Perfection!

When I am in need of quality shell fish with little time…More »

Fresh spinach linguine for two, $3.31

Today it was a hit!!
They have a limited release right now called GI Bitter.
Don't let the name scare you Yelpland. It is a fantastic brew.

Perfect as an appetizer on a sunny deck, or if you just can't wait till home... it makes for an interesting ride…More »

As a live music venue...
Backstage is hard to beat!

Yes, cover is a necessary evil. But with the combination of all the renos here with a decent band. It's totally worth the 8-10 bucks!

I do like the selection of beers on tap. A lot of the usual…More »

Baked Goods (8) The best of the best in all things baked. God I love gluten!	Booze (11) I love it, but ya gotta buy it first
Meat-atarian! (5) A few of my favourite butchers around town. Go local Or Go home!	Leg Room (2) I am tall! So... I need my space. Leg room is the key to happiness during long events/performances. Here's a list that may help a few of the tall folks out there.
Pig Out (16) Full fat Full flavour Yummy all the way	Mexican (6) Hey, this aint no all inclus! Vancouver has a few proper Mexican joints. Check em out.
Sunshine Coast (3) Nothing beats a short trip to the sunshine coast. Well... maybe Hawaii!	Bend Oregon (7) One of the raddest towns I have ever visited. Floating, beering, eating... and repeat.
Beer Heaven (16) Barley, hops, and water are in it's own food group in Vancouver.	Guarantees (3) There are a few guarantees in Vancouver. To make this list I have to have gone at least four times and had a plate licking, sauce chugging, lip smacking feasting good time. Every time!
