Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown

5.0 star rating
  12/5/2009

I agree with the rating on this place. The service is awesome. For being a Mac store and for being in Yaletown, I thought the service will be questionable. But each and every time I come here, they always seem to appear genuine. No up-selling or…More »

S O C I E T Y baby! This is where you can find "diner-style comfort food" with a twist - better quality and in a lounge type ambiance. We went for dinner on a Friday night and boy was it busy and loud. Not my kind of scene, but I'm in it for the…More »

I like this place especially being a little bit different amidst the Yaletown establishments. But 5 stars it is not.

It has a nice wooden structure and design reminiscent of old boat interiors...which is typical of Marina-side restos serving seafood…More »

Taste of Yaletown gave me a good opportunity to try restaurants along the area which I wouldn't think of going anytime soon.

r.tl was a hit and a miss.

The name of the restaurant brilliantly explains it's structure - regional tasting lounge - which…More »

Yes, this store caters to men.  No, you don't have to be a cigar aficionado to venture into this place. I don't blame you for skipping this one when shopping at Yaletown. The official name, Revolucion Cigar and Fine Gifts, may be perceived a bit…More »

Keg may be a chain, but they created a damn good one by building a sleek, modern restaurant at Yaletown. All three floors has a different feel with sections of the restaurant changing from a cozy intimate feel to a wide open bar and finally leading…More »

After paying CAD4.99 for a bland froyo, I headed to Yaletown Gelato as a means of revenge for having an unsatiated appetite. (You should have seen my tummy and I. Man, were we both laughing. Scratches head. Wut!)

The damage? A measly CAD4.75 for a…More »

I like the dark interior and cozy size typical of a local Yaletown bar.

These guys know how to provide good, friendly service. They will ask you every now and then if you need anything else, but there was no pressure in placing orders.

EQ3 equals Canada's IKEA? I must agree.

Another case of you get what you pay for. Not a year's past, and our console table is showing early signs of wobbly openings, and squeaky mechanisms here and there. I must admit their designs are a little bit…More »

After my initial check up, I went back today to repair an abrasion on a tooth that's wearing thin. They covered the abrasion with a dental filling and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes.

I hate using this phrase, but It is what it is. It's a quaint Mexican restaurant with an uncomplicated menu and easy on the pocket pricing.

There's no fusion here. Just home-made tasting meals with the right amount of watered-down spicing. But the…More »

I just had to try it for myself to verify that this place disappoints.

The single original yogurt flavour is a joke. Not even matcha green tea? How about a Summer flavour to keep people interested? But it doesn't matter because the froyo was bland. It…More »
