Highly recommend not going to this restaurant. Both the food and service were some of the worst that I've received at this price point. The food is very expensive - which I'm good with, but not with the quality of the food or the service. Also, when I'm paying this much for food, I don't want there to be kids running around everywhere wild. Literally they were crawling on tables and management wasn't doing anything about it. The food was extremely salty and the service was extremely slow. I sat with no drink for 30+ minutes. The view is stunning however. A major tourist trap I'd recommend avoiding at all costs.

Love this place, it is a clean modern take on Indian food. Great value for casual quick service Indian. Customer service is really really good here and they make you feel like you are part of their family. Food is 8/10 (great for a quick service), Service 10/10, Ambience 10/10

I quite like Elixir. I work in the neighbourhood and tend to go here for work lunches and I'll quite often go in on the weekend for cocktails with friends. The service is always outstanding.

The lunch selection is very good and extremely reasonable given the location.  I just had the new menu that they've launched and the chocolate dessert is amazing.

At night, I've only ever come here for drinks, so I can't speak to the dinner menu, but I'm never disappointed. The staff are great and my favorite bartender Neil always greets me with a hug. I usually don't even have to tell him what I'm drinking as he remembers from my previous visits (and this is without me going regularly!!).

Elixir is next to Opus Bar and on weekend and Thursday nights, it does turn into more of a lounge. On the weekends, they usually bring DJ's in, making for a great atmosphere.

I'd recommend Elixir to anyone wanting a great meal for lunch or dinner or a fun hip place to people watch and drink later in the evening.

Pawsh is an upscale dog salon in Yaletown. I take my dog there all the time as it is extremely convenient as it is extremely close to both home and work.  The staff are always very friendly and you can usually get an appointment within a week (except around the holidays when you need to book a good month in advance).

The girl that currently grooms Kaiya is quite good - I believe her name is Emma or Emme or it at least begins with an E. Kaiya always looks great at the end and is usually done in just over 2 hours. Honestly, I'm extremely pleased with this groomer.

The reason that I'm giving Pawsh a 3 star review is because of the other groomer that is employed there. The first time I brought Kaiya in to get groomed, when I picked her up, I was completely horrified! They had completely shaved her ears, paws, everything aside from a one inch round tuft at the end of her tail. It was hideous. She's a Bichon Shih Tzu cross so you're just not supposed to do that. The only reason I took her back for a second go, was due to the convenience factor of their location, the extremely long wait to get into the next closest groomer, and the recommendation from someone else to try the other groomer.

I've also heard from people in the area that they have mixed results with Pawsh so it's not just been me. I highly recommend them if you ask for the groomer that I mentioned earlier, but run if you can't get her. Also, be extremely detailed in the description of the cut you'd like for your dog.

Style Lab is an awesome hair salon located just outside of Yaletown. I've been going there for over a year now and I have to say that I love my stylist Chris. We've now gone three completely different colours and each time Chris has done an amazing job. If you go here, make sure you ask for him!

It's a totally friendly and unpretentious unlike most of the other salons that I've gone to in Yaletown. Also, the price can't be beat. On average, I pay $100 less than other salons I've been to recently for highlights and a cut. You have to like dogs though, as they've got two salon dogs and they don't mind if you bring yours to your appointment as well.

The only reason that I don't give them a 5 is that it is cash only. There is an ATM next door at DIX or across the street at 7 11, but it's really inconvenient when you'd like to pay with credit card.
