Good things come in small packages! In the space the size of a walk-in closet, some of the best scones and cinnamon rolls I have ever eaten are crafted. As soon as you walk in the mouth-watering smell will render you speechless and you will regain…More »

Delicious!!!! Need I say more?

Okay I will....

What a cute place! Love the fork theme and the comfy seats up near the front. Sharing the small plates seems to be the way to go here- and actually they aren't that small and the value for the journey of…More »

One visit was all it took for me to become infatuated with this place. The biggest running joke among my friends is that I don't like Mexican food. I just think it's because I've never had really good Mexican food and now I have. It was in Canada of…More »

If you had told me a month ago that we would wait for 2 hours for a table at a restaurant and later agree that it was completely worth the wait, I would have had you committed. True story. Indian food is already a weakness of mine. Highly touted…More »

Part of what made our visit to Vancouver so fantastic was this place. We read briefly about the Long Table Series and popped in to ask about it. They weren't serving the Long Table dinner that night, but since we were already there, we bellied up to…More »

I read in a guidebook that this place housed the best bartender in Vancouver. I was a little skeptical, but the Yelp ratings were good, so off we went to find out for ourselves.

Do cheap and quality go together very often? Not usually, but here they do. The space is tiny, but the service is fast and friendly.

We enjoyed the spicy tuna (extra spicy, full of flavor!), California and sweet potato rolls as well the nigiri. The…More »

Scoozi's! How do you not love a place with a name like that? We entered what I thought was a tiny little nook of a restaurant only to discover that this place was extremely cavernous, just kept getting going and going!

We had a very scrumptious…More »

Waivering between a three and a four on this place... The dim sum was pretty freaking delicious. Alas, this place appeared to be a little too nice for cart service.

Our service was pretty good and our dishes were brought out at a good pace, even…More »
