When Yelp Leads Me Astray
See All Lists
1. Demitasse Cafe - CLOSED
Now, I've never been here before this and I was just visiting Victoria when this place was recommended to us by our host.
However, I wonder if our host had been here recently. It was obvious that there was a change in ownership of the place. The…More »
2. St. Regis Bar and Grille
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 696-5558
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
After my fond memories from the Yelp event, I decided to bring some friends here for drinks. The place was okay, but after 30 mins we were really glad we didn't order food and we were sitting at a higher table and our feet were off the…More »

We came for a Yelp event and the staff were really friendly!
But I'm here to review the location… Read more »
3. Hillcrest Bakery
Their over the phone/email customer service was great! Unfortunately, it kind of stops there. I ordered a cake for my sister's birthday and had my other sister who lives near Bothell pick it up. In short, the cake was probably one of the worst…More »
4. Q4 Restaurant
I'm going to have to go against everyone else and say that I was pretty disappointed in my meal.
First I should note, however, that our server was great. The hostess, Caroline, was excellent. They both came to our tables often to check on us and see…More »
5. Chill Winston
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B2
(604) 288-9575
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I would actually give the Chill Winston (CW) food a 4 star...stay tuned for why it's 2.
We ordered the beef and asparagus pizza, mushroom ravioli, a cheese plate, and a glass of wine each. We were also going to order the spot prawns but they had run…More »
6. Romer's Burger Bar
Awww... I really wanted to like this place. Maybe it was better when they first opened. In fact, the burger quality itself was quite good. I got the Magic Mushroom burger and my disappointment in it wasn't so much the burger. I blame it on the…More »
7. Kenny & Zuke's SandwichWorks
Portland, OR 97210
USA
(503) 954-1737
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Sandwiches,
Delis
Neighbourhoods: Alphabet District, Northwest
To be fair, we were here for a special event and the sandwiches were premade for all of us. By the time we got to the sandwiches, they had pastrami and some other meat-laden one left. It was nothing special. In fact, it was kind of meh. I think I…More »
8. Sweet Obsession Cakes & Pastries
After all these great reviews in mind, a friend and I headed to Sweet Obsession with high expectations. However, both of us were sorely disappointed. :-( Still frowning, thinking about the experience.
Nothing wrong with the service or anything.
Maybe…More »
9. Nat's New York Pizzeria
I was so looking forward to trying this pizza that I saved the numbers of both locations in my phone book so that if I was ever in the area and needed pizza delivery, I knew where to call.
Alas, I had such opportunity and my hopes and dreams were…More »
10. Fantasy Nails
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z9
(604) 216-6715
Category:
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
I came here for a pedicure and in total it took about 20 minutes from start to finish of the pedicure + drying time. I know I've complained in the past about having to wait too much at some nail salons, but I didn't mean that I would want an express…More »
11. The Bibo
It was good Neapolitan style pizza, but not the best I had in Vancouver. I've been craving proper Neapolitan pizza since I was there in 2008 and this was decent, but didn't hit the spot. The service was also pretty snooty. I remember pizza joints…More »
12. Don Guacamole's
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C6
(604) 569-2295
Categories:
Mexican,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: West End
4 stars for my food (a burrito)!
The food tasted really delicious and my chicken burrito in verde salsa was quite filling. The chips and salsa in the beginning served at the table were delicious. They serve them with 3 salsas, all of which have a…More »
13. The Wallflower Modern Diner
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E2
(604) 568-7554
Categories:
Diners,
Gluten-Free,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I think I will conclude after my 2nd experience that this place is friggin' awesome for gluten free people who have limited options elsewhere.
But for the average Jane like me, I've had better. This time I went for dinner with a friend and heard so…More »

14. Honey Doughnuts & Goodies
North Vancouver, BC V7G 1L1
(604) 929-4988
Categories:
Doughnuts,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Deep Cove
I have to agree with Roanna that there "is probably more oil and sugar than any human should consume in a whole day wrapped up in ONE doughnut." However, I had to try it. One of my friends biked all the way from Marpole area in Vancouver (near 41st…More »
15. Acme Café
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4
(604) 569-1022
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
I came here for an early breakfast with some friends that were leaving town. It was good, but I can't say it was the best. Predominantly because they don't have a grill, so all the egg dishes are baked. That does make for an interesting version of…More »
16. skoah
Vancouver, BC V6B 5T4
(604) 642-0200
My facial was nice and relaxing. The technician seemed to know what she was talking about and their products do seem pretty nice. I liked that they followed up with my after my appointment. However, when I was getting my facial, I didn't feel like…More »
17. J Diem Salon
Burnaby, BC V5C 2J7
(604) 294-3433
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Nail Salons
Neighbourhood: Burnaby Heights
This was a different experience than what I was used to. Karen R. is right about the spa pedicures. But I am used to going to a pedicure place, getting my pedicure in peace (usually the ladies don't talk a whole lot to the clients because they talk…More »
18. The Beet Root Cafe
I like the idea of this cafe. And the prices are pretty cheap for a sit down place in Whistler. However, it wasn't my favorite meal. I ordered the eggs benny which came with hashbrowns. Hashbrowns = 5 tiny tiny McD's style potato patties. And my…More »
19. r.tl
Vancouver, BC V6B
(604) 638-1550
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I came here for a friend's birthday who, on my recommendation, chose the restaurant. I like r.tl. The menu is pretty good and their cocktails selection is fantastic. I had the mushroom and gruyere ravioli. It was nice, but a little too salty.

20. Burrard Bridge Marine Bar & Grill
Vancouver, BC V6E 1T7
(604) 676-2337
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I have to agree with Jenn and Brett that the service was a bit nominal. It took some time trying to flag her down and all. And we even told her we were with Yelp! (well that shouldn't change anything, but we kind of were all wearing some form of…More »
