My wife and I have been customers for many years and can honestly say that we have never had anything but a very positive experience. We find the demeanour of the chefs in training, while waiting on table charming. Thank you and keep up the good work

Well worth going to just remember, this restaurant is for the students training. Service is sometimes slow but the food is well worth the wait. I would definitely go again.

This truly is the best kept secret in Vancouver. In spite of a fire alarm evacution just prior to dinner time the fledgling chefs recouped to present us with a fine dining experience. 5 exciting and elegant courses paired with a fine wine that ably complimented the tastes we experienced . Everyone at our table enjoyed their evening and will remember it ad special.

The best lunch experience of my trip to Vancouver. I don't want to make a comparison, but it's a lower price and better quality than other restaurants. (Also the ingredients!) Servers were a little nervous(I totally understand) but they were kind and nice. I want everyone who lives in Vancouver or travels to Vancouver to experience here. So sad that I can't get dinner due to my travel schedule.
