    The food, cocktails, and coffees were lovely. The server was friendly, though perhaps not fully trained. They were not ready with a table for our reservation (the only table being one for 8 people, on stools, which was still dirty), and we three were then seated alone outside. This would be fine, but the waitress didn't know how to turn on the lights or heating so it took a good while to get that sorted. While we were eating someone came to (we think) extract the oil from the fryers, which was very loud for about 5 mins. Perhaps there is a better time to do that, given the noise levels on the patio. We asked to purchase some extra bread for a hummous dip, but this was forgotten. So, overall it is a nice place but the details are being lost with some staffing issues at the moment.

    the steak was way too chewy for the venue and price. I think people would pay more for the food if the food was worthwhile I would still recommend for the cocktails and ambience though

    Good food and drinks ,service was good as well. Personally don’t like dining with loud electronic music in the background. Overall a good experience but the loud music was enough to make me think twice before coming back.

    They forgot to cook the potatoes gratin before serving. Simple thing to fix but but was not a good experience as a guest. I am sure they will do a better job going forward but the kitchen and service staff should do a better job with quality control. We did eat at the restaurant a few days earlier (chicken dish) and we did not have any quality issues, but this night night it was bad!!!

    All was well except my waitress. She was nice and did her job, except one thing did not feel good. She asked me how I wanted me steak done (naturally), and I said "medium rare, but tending more toward medium than rare". Her response was that she would tell the chef medium rare and if it wasn't that, they would redo the order and fix it. I said again to her "well, what I'm trying to say is that I'd rather it be closer to medium than rare. because chefs are not always perfect, so if they aim more on the medium side than rare, that is my preference.". Again, she ignored me, and told me that she would only tell the chef medium rare and hope for the best. I gave up and felt like I had just been in a 'power struggle' rather than being heard and understood. I did not tip her. Other than this, the service was good, and she was on time, etc.

    Pitchfork is awesome. In a strange turn of events the covid measures actually were better for the layout of the restaurant. The carefully selected vintage windows create a booth-like atmosphere which adds to the privacy of the dining experience without isolating people.

    Fabulous food, had the half rotisserie chicken which was to die for, juicy and served with fresh garden vegetables, everything was top notch!! Our friends had the venison burger which they loved too! Our waitress was stellar and attentive to details! Great wine list featuring some gems from Similkameen, we had the Chardonnay which tasted like magic! 🌟
