  I was at Forage for dinner while on business in Vancouver. The food was very well presented and delicious. Their food is mostly locally sourced. I had the smoked white sturgeon and bison tongue fritters, served with a tasty marmalade mustard
  
  They also have a good craft beer selections. The staff are also very friendly

  I had heard about Forage for several years, its reviews universally positive. I vowed on my next visit to Vancouver I would make a point to eat there. That opportunity occurred a few days ago.
  
  While waiting 30 minutes to be seated, I saw the many awards and praise Forage has gleaned over the years. (They hang to your left as you enter Forage.) And when finally guided to our table, I noted the palpable thrum of excitement in the room. All good, so far.
  
  But our 'table' proved to be two seats at the bar - immediately next to the waiters' station. For these seats we waited 30 minutes? Worse, the room itself was stifling hot. Was the air conditioning broken? I noticed the manager or owner wearing shorts with his sport jacket. Would have been nice to receive a warning of excessive warmth before waiting.
  
  And then our meals arrived: distinctly NOT appetizing in appearance. Also not hot, not even warm. And not very tasty. I scanned the menu again, and noticed what I missed originally: not many greens. So why the name Forage?
  
  Our waiter was excellent, the only good item about our experience. For example, the bartender refilled our water -- but placed his hand firmly on the rim of our glasses. You know, where our lips go to drink. I am sure he did that to kill any back splash - but so much for cleanliness. And so much for water.
  
  When leaving, I noticed Forage's many awards were from years ago, none recent. It seems clear to me that Forage, while still basking in popularity, is well-past its sell-by date. We will not return.

  I tried Dine Out here last night and it was nothing to phone home about.
  
  The prawn and seafood (by seafood they mean chunks of salmon) chowder was bland and Luke warm served on a cold cast iron dish. The duck and leek presse tasted like a fancy spam.
  As for the salmon main, Cactus Club can do better.
  
  Cheese puff was too crunchy to enjoy sitting in a bath of too sweet ginger sauce.
  
  Adequate and friendly service though

  best place for brunch in downtown. Hands down, the best. Very friendly staff, not stuck up at all unlike some top restaurants in the city. You'll enjoy a small menu of excellent dishes with locally sourced ingredients. be sure to leave room for the pancakes. you must also have the homemade ketchup. its legit. thank me later folks. However, you should make a reservation through open table so you don't have to wait.

  Whoa. If I had to forage a meal this great I would certainly be in trouble. Luckily, they do the foraging for you. One of the better meals I have had in Vancouver recently. 5 out of 4 taste points. Would eat here again.
