  Superb food, delicate, exquisite. Excellent, dedicated service. The waiter was deeply involved with the table without being intrusive. One of best places in Vancouver for dinner. Necessarily expensive.

  Utmost respect for David Hawksworth. Not only does he prepare great things at Bel Cafe, his brunch is exceptional the restaurant is amazing. The pastry platter was crisp and tender at the same time. The way he prepares the steel cut oats has made me only consume steel cut oats now, no more rolled oats. Definitely cannot go wrong with anything on his menu. Atmosphere very relaxing, our waiter was exceptionally well mannered and professional. I wish him the best of luck with his new endeavour at the Nightingale.

  My wife and I had the new Summer tasting menu with the wine pairings. Very nice setting. Good service--on the casual side for a high end restaurant. But then again, this is Vancouver--where else would you see diners wearing white t-shirts in a restaurant like this?
  
  The meal was pleasant. Wine pairings were good. Food flavours were balanced, but nothing was particularly innovative or spectacular. When I'm paying close to $500 for a meal for two, i want to be bowled over. This is how I felt the last time I went to Cafe Juanita (in Washington) and "C" about 5 years ago. And I can probably say the same with slightly less emphasis for Bishops, Market and Chambar.
  
  Two dishes in the tasting menu struck me as vastly improvable: the crayfish tempura (this was a lazy dish) and the duck. The duck itself was lovely, but the sauce was infused with a perplexing amount of passion-fruit seeds that did not make a particularly enjoyable eating experience.
  
  The final savoury dish was a nice bit of lamb on a bed of sauce and mashed potatoes. Nothing offensive, but nothing wonderful either.
  
  I'd describe dessert, but I can't actually remember it.
  
  I appreciated the parting gift of two little banana muffins.

  Mouth watering mortadella pork is my new favorite now. Perfect for making sandwich. Amazing place to take a date.

  I thought the food was really delicious but the portions are very small. Our waitress wasn't very friendly. Originally they also wanted to move us for dessert as there was another group coming and it had only been about 2 hours. After we ordered a $600 bottle of wine, they stopped pestering us. I found this to be a bit unprofessional. We thought 3 hours for a meal for a group of 6 was fairly reasonable.
