This place is a bit better than a dive no matter what ownership it is under or the decor they change.  What really destroys the place is the clientelle of smelly, dirty  men sitting outside getting tanked at all hours of the day.  Only time I have…More »

The best part about this bar is patio with the view of the river.  If you are looking for a bunch of guys with air lats then this is the place for you lol.  I do have fun when I go here but it's not somewhere i would go all of the time.

I was a fan of Milestones until I got food poisoning from the location a couple of years back.  There is nothing like 8 hours of praising to the porcelain god, breaking out in hives, cold sweats and weeks of gagging everytime I saw something that…More »

I am of two minds on this place.  I have heard bad things from my best friend but great things from my parents.  My experience was kind of middle of the road.  I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that my cat passed away less than a week…More »

I will say that it was nice inside but really can't be classified as a lounge.  The part that was preposterous was an $18 cover charge for a night club in Vancouver.  I paid less for a nightclub in New York City.

  Update - 7/27/2010

So I decided to give this place one more go.  I was delighted that this time I did not wear my food like I did last time, through no fault of my own.  The food is still not that great but for a quick bite off the skytrain it's not too bad.

Lets just say there is nothing like watching a rat run through the restaurant to ruin your appetite.  I have not been back since.  There is no food in the world that is so delicious that I must put up with that.

This was the worst experience at a Boston Pizza I have ever had.  My fiance and I went for Pasta Tuesday and it would have been nice if there was actually sauce on the pasta.  We had to ask for the waitress to bring us some as it wasn't sauced at…More »

My fiance is a Halloween junkie and when I saw a deal on Groupon for their Pumpkin Patch I immediately bought one. This past weekend he and I decided to go to the farm and check it out. I must say I was disappointed in the patch itself.

The fun part…More »

Our office has a weekly standing order with First Blossom for fresh flower arrangements to be delivered every Monday. In the last year the service has gone down hill dramatically and only after two complaints are they trying to redeem themselves. The…More »

I was craving Sushi today and since I was in the area and like to try new places i figured I would stop in here.  After today's experience I doubt that I will go there again with all the other options within a 2 minute walk.

This is a hole compared to many other Tim Horton's but it will give you the coffee fix you need.  It's also a pain in the arse to get in and out  of if you are on the Blvd.  

If I can avoid it I won't be coming here.

With the rainy weather now upon us I was on a mission for a descent rain jacket that could breathe.  Since I had been at MEC and they didn't have anything I liked or could use I stopped here.

The store isn't too bad but the customer service was…More »

Good for picking up your daily nutritional needs.  I tend to go to a few different places instead of sticking to just one store lol.
