    Ambience is good, food was good, hostess was friendly, but our waiter was horrible. Took 15 mins for him to approach our table, was not knowledgeable about the menu - he misinformed us about a food item and didn't even apologize or try to make it right when it arrived and we pointed out the error. He never came back to our table again even though we were seated by the food pick up area where he could see that we were out of water - he was just standing around. We waived him down for our bill and that was it. May be I'll be back for drinks but not worth dining here because of the service.

    I read the menu before selecting this place. My mouth was watering in anticipation. My friend and I chose a share platter. Some of the items were great tasting (the ribs and pulled pork) but the other items were so-so. I found the house ketchup too sweet. Maybe because I was drinking wine instead of beer, the food may be better suited to the taste of beer.

    This was our 3rd visit. Enjoyed every time. The dinosaur ribs were disappointing however. Two ribs: one had hardly any meat and the other was fatty. Probably won't have them again. Service was good. Food is generally very good.

    Lots of choices, service was outstanding and great place to go before an event at either the QE, Rogers or BC Place.

    We used to go here frequently but the service has declined severely. It took 15 minutes to get an order for drinks placed. The food was good before but was greasy and lukewarm.

    Booked ahead (and glad we did) for a quick get together before a concert at Rodgers Arena (kitty corner to the restaurant). Service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed a great meal with a wonderful selection of Howe Sound beers. Portions are huge, so come hungry.....or stick to a couple of snack sized dishes.
