You won't find white tablecloths or a formal atmosphere, but you will find one of Vancouver's most polished—and delicious—dining experiences. Effortless service, expertly prepared cocktails and unusually astute wine pairings are all part of the magic, but of course it's the seasonally inspired tasting menu that really steals the show. This globally accented cuisine consistently impresses, marrying precise technique and top-flight ingredients together in refined, focused dishes of exceptional clarity and depth of flavor. House-made torn bread, wagyu tartare, caramelized onions and red storm velouté are presented in a four-part display for a twist on a burger, while tempura fried green beans with an oyster emulsion are served over a nightshade jam for a side dish with plenty of panache.
