The service was a bit spotty, they forgot bits and pieces of our order for our party of 6. Waitstaff were friendly but everyone did seem a bit scattered/unorganized. The food was overall good with the exception of the Branzino being extremely fishy and not up to quality, for this tier of restaurant. We've had Seabass at many other establishments and have cooked it at home, it is a light, mild fish with no odour/strong oceanic flavours; this was not the case. It was almost inedible if eaten without the accompanying sauces. The pomme dauphine were underwhelming and underseasoned for our liking. Overall, a great room to have a few drinks and snack on well put together appetizers.

The food and service were excellent, but it’s very uncomfortable having 3 drunks from the bar hovering around your table plus it’s a very frenetic room that needs a redesign to calm things down.

E shared half a dozen of the raw oysters. We ere given 2 of each variety. One of the variety’s had no body was rather slimy. Lighting very bad and had to ask for a lamp to read the menu. The waiter delivering the oysters and explaining the varieties was difficult to understand due to his accent. Seafood linguine was delicious and my friend enjoyed her curried shrimp.difficult to carry on a conversation due to noise level.

Celebrated my girlfriend's birthday during their happy hour. Service was great and the happy hour menu has some good options. We had the fish tacos, the meatballs with marinara, and a dozen oysters. The oysters were pretty big and cheaper than some other places I've been to for happy hour at $2 each. The server was attentive without being intrusive and surprised my girlfriend with a free birthday dessert at the end of the meal. All in all, a pleasant experience. Thank you.

Except for the desert, wine, and service, that was one of the worst meals I’ve eaten. I was in tears at the table after asking to move away from the kitchen on my birthday and being forced to sit with my soggy wool coat. The oyster special had so much cream that I wanted to cry for the oysters I couldn’t find in their shells. The A5 had been perfectly cooked and then left to rest so long that the fat had congealed and it was inedible. The server tried so hard to make things right, but I was in tears on my birthday. This was not okay

Attended the Valentines Day set menu and I can’t recommend this enough…Sutton Place and The Boulevard has always been one of my favourite places in Vancouver so my expectations are always high. To say they over delivered would be an understatement. The service was unreal, the food was unbelievable, the only complaint was my stomach wasn’t bigger! Thanks for a beautiful evening.

Overall the dinner went very well and we enjoyed the food. The only downturn was we were expecting to try the three course dinner that was on the website that is serve Monday to Friday. ( not part of dine out Vancouver ) In all honesty when I googled the website day before it’s still offered on the menu but we were disappointed that according to our server once we were seated that the three course is not available. Oh, really ? But anyways, since we were there already we ordered and gladly everyone’s food was good. So I guess we can live with that. Good service I must say, that’s a plus. Thank you,
