3.5 stars..... far from the best Indian food I've had, but Rangoli had a nice ambience, friendly servers and "healthy" food.  By that I mean that I didn't see any visible grease in the food, unlike a lot of Indian food, and I came away not feeling…More »

Great booths, good place to watch sports as there are several big screen TVs.  Reliable food.  Pizzas were tasty and I like the 7 oz wine pours (although they're a bit pricey).

Fun ambience, inventive dishes, inexpensive.  I'll definitely be going back!  We tried to go to the location on Robson once but it was packed.  Gastown accepted reservations thankfully and it was a great place to go during the Olympics since it's not…More »

Solid 4 stars.  We didn't go crazy ordering lots of stuff so our bill was pretty reasonable.  
PROS: delicious pasta - the pasta platter was fun, great service, nice ambience
CONS: a bit loud in there - not great for a romantic date, drink pours were…More »

I love the decor/design at this cactus club.  The bar is huge and we went on a Friday so it was really lively, but not uncomfortably packed.  There was an hour wait to eat in the dining room but we immediately found seating in the bar.  The seafood…More »

3.5 stars:  Pretty good dogs.  I read about Japadog on yelp so I was really excited to try it but it just didn't blow my mind.  I did really like the wasabi mayo - that was awesome - but my teripork dog or whatever it was called wasn't anything to…More »

Good place for a reliable meal... that's why you go to a chain, right?  We had lunch there and my halibut sandwich with yam fries was delicious!  Will definitely be back.

  Update - 6/21/2009

Update - went there again last night.  It sucked.  The 3 of us sat down and were promptly waited on initially, but when we wanted to order a 2nd round of drinks, our waitress was nowhere to be found!  We waited for 15-20 min and then proceeded to…More »

We had a great experience at YEW.  I walked in at 1pm on a Saturday with a group of 6 other girls and we were immediately seated at a really cool wooden table in the middle of the restaurant, adjacent to the fireplace.  I loved the decor and the…More »

I've been to Elixir many times late at night, for drinks.  It's gotten very pretentious, though, and I don't know if we'll go back.  It used to be that you could just walk in and sit down.  Now you have to go in at the restaurant entrance and the…More »

I went to Chambar for the second time this past weekend.  Both visits were for my birthday.  I was a bit more impressed on the first visit.  This time, when I tried to order the absinthe cocktail, the server informed me that they were no longer…More »
